Michigan U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, wife of retired Congressman John Dingell, says she has too many "me too" moments regarding sexual harassment to even mention. 

But she did tell CNN that a prominent historical figure and a senator acted inappropriate. She decline to reveal names. 

She said a senator acted very inappropriately toward her, but she declined to tell her husband, then Congressman John Dingell.

"I didn't want my husband to know because I was afraid he might kill him," she said.

She also had an incident in which a historical figure tried putting her hand up her leg.

"The hand kept going up my leg. I took it off. A woman member recognized what was happening and got up from the table and said, 'Switch places.' You know, we watch out for each other," Dingell tells CNN. "He would be aggressive, not only towards me, everybody on Capitol Hill knew it."

Dingell, 63, has been married to John Dingell since 1981. She took office in 2015.
