#DemocratForeplay: Excused, Covered-Up, Defended Sexual Assault and More

Democrats are quick to dictate the terms of public discussion and instructions on the proper way to treat women, especially with blatant disregard to the “accusers”.

Yes, Bill Clinton is guilty of certain indiscretions in his private life.
— Rep. Maxine Waters, 12/18/98

Terms of public discussion and instructions that fall apart when Democrats are the predators.

The left and their media has done everything they could to opaque their complicity in dismissing what is a clear pattern within the Democrat Party: high-profile elected, sexual abuse, assault, and denial via hoping it will all just go away.

Larry Wallace, a top aide to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), resigned Wednesday, amid allegations of harassment during his tenure at the California Department of Justice. Wallace’s resignation came after the Sacramento Bee asked about a $400,000 settlement to end a lawsuit from Danielle Hartley, who was Wallace’s assistant at the California Department of Justice. Wallace was director of the Division of Law Enforcement, under Harris who was state attorney general at the time.

Former President Bill Clinton had an embarrassing #MeToo moment last week in a televised interview, claiming he, too, was a victim of the sex scandal that led to his impeachment. But most voters disagree and see Clinton as a sexual offender instead. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters consider Clinton a victim of his political opponents. Fifty-three percent (53%) describe the ex-president as a sexual predator instead.

So far, there’s been little specific data to help illuminate just how pervasive sexual harassment is on Capitol Hill, but one figure has emerged: the total that the Office of Compliance, the office that handles harassment complaints, has paid to victims. On Thursday, the Office of Compliance released additional information indicating that it has paid victims more than $17 million since its creation in the 1990s. That includes all settlements, not just related to sexual harassment, but also discrimination and other cases.

— Reuters, 3/25/08

This list is so incomplete because of the time it would take to document the numerous sexual abuse and assaults in places liberals control like the news media, entertainment industry, grade schools and college campuses on just heterosexuals alone.

      

Not to mention the untold number of those ready and waiting to exploit the lack of morals for their own professional rise… BEFORE claiming victim status.

Racist Pelosi Demands Black Conyers Resign; Not White Franken

For decades, the Democrat left has relished in any opportunity to use the race card against the Republican right. White Democrats, in particular, have been very adept in planting a racial landmine and stepping back to watch in glee as cued blacks would take it to their opponents.

But today we have a problem.

Many white liberal men have been busted committing all manner of sexual abuse and assaults from Hollywood to New York City to Capitol Hill. Unbeknownst to many on the left, racism within the very hallways of the entertainment industry has been dismissed and it’s very apparent to many blacks that this whole Harvey Weinstein snowball has only become the movement it has become because the victims are 99 44⁄100% liberal white women.

So you now see the quandary white liberals have when a black congressman and white senator have been accused of sexual abuse. Liberal blacks and whites are not going to see things eye-to-eye.

This will be a very juicy eat-their-own opportunity because black people are not going to give liberals a pass on this one.

John Conyers’ name was the ONLY House member named regarding the taxpayer-funded hush fund and is publicly being told to resign. The white guy Al Franken is hiding behind his desk, apologizes every time a new name surfaces and has yet to be told by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the National Organization for Women, Emily’s List or any other liberal women’s entity to vacate his Senate seat. This kinda’ smacks of blatant racism, at least as consistently defined by Democrats.

Politically, the Democrats are relatively unaffected by the loss of one congressman. Losing a senator is another story but don’t try explaining that to hypersensitive blacks. The abuse-of-white-women-is-more-important-than-racism will be a tough sell in the Community.

Race politics is a bitch, ain’t it?

BTW — The white man who sexually assaulted Terry Crews is getting off… so to speak.

Crews alleged that talent agent Adam Venit groped his genitals at a Hollywood party. Crews acknowledges the obvious question: Why wouldn’t a man of his muscle just wallop any predator? The actor wanted to fight him, to strike back, he has said, but feared that the situation would be misperceived since he is a large black man. He didn’t want to end up in jail or lose his career.

But he still feels like he’s not being taken seriously. Venit has not commented on the accusation. But Venit’s employer, the William Morris Endeavor, suspended the alleged groper for 30 days — only to recently welcome him back to the workplace after deciding the alleged transgression against Crews was an isolated incident, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Crews, who was by then watching along with the rest of the country as one big-shot after another got punished with much greater severity, was enraged.

“SOMEONE GOT A PASS,” Crews tweeted about the news Monday.
— Washington Post, 11/30/17

As alluded to earlier in this post and written about before, racism in Hollywood runs rampant and conveniently dismissed.

But mess with liberal white women and all hell will break loose.

The View’s Joy Behar: Lying, Groping, Hypocrite

For more than a year, The View’s Joy Behar has been on a one-woman hate crusade against Donald Trump and Republicans longer than that. When the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse avalanche began, she made a point of making this a “men” issue.

The panel on ABC’s “The View” reacted with anger and disappointment to news on Thursday that a Los Angeles radio personality accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of groping her and forcibly kissing her on a USO trip in 2006.

“It’s just so disappointing,” said co-host Joy Behar, “but, you know, men of all different stripes are out there doing crazy shit.”
— Raw Story, 11/16/17

Either Joy Behar has an acute case of Alzheimer’s or she’s been lying to America knowing she’s been prone to put her hands where they don’t belong without consent.

Of course, Behar will NOT address her past transgressions unless pressured into an insincere, public apology by her evil male bosses at ABC. If liberal patterns hold true, she’ll claim her groping was NOT of sexist intent.

It was comedy. Just you wait.

By the way…

One of our most beloved comedians,

That’s a stretch.

The brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular President ever elected where it hurts—and makes us laugh and cheer—in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that’s wrong with the “Orange One,” Donald Trump.

Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose, Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House.

Video: CNN Deceptively Edits Sessions Confirmation Video


Okay, let’s be fair; according to WMAL’s Chris Plante, all broadcast media but Fox News has aired the edited response then-Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions gave to Minnesota Senator Al Franken during the confirmation hearings. Franken asked a question with regards to a universally discredited, #FakeNews story run by CNN….

Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him
Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.

The two-page synopsis also included allegations that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government, according to two national security officials.

During March 3rd’s CNN “New Day”, anchor and Democrat cheerleader Alisyn Camerota again ran the edited confirmation hearing clip. We have presented the confirmation hearing segment and CNN’s deceptive edit of the complete question by Senator Franken to Jeff Sessions in context.

Attorney General Sessions was clearly responding to Franken’s question about the CNN “story” and should have NEVER recused himself from any investigation of Russian hacking that supposedly denied Hillary Clinton her rightful place as President of the United States.

And as luck would have it, later in the day House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi got caught telling a whopper herself….

The California Democrat told POLITICO Playbook on Friday morning that she had never met with the current Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. A file photo from Pelosi’s 2010 meeting with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, however, shows Kislyak at the table across from her.
— Politico, 3/3/17

Politico: Photo contradicts Pelosi’s statement about not meeting Kislyak
CBS News: Trump tweets about Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi photos with Putin, Russian envoy
ABC News: Trump accuses Pelosi of ‘close ties to Russia,’ demands investigation


As of March 4, 8:30am EST, no mention of the Pelosi lie on CNN’s front page.

It’s going to be a long weekend.

Quote Of The Day

Democrats always claim someone stole an election from them when things don’t turn out right, but when they win it’s because that’s what the people wanted.

Just maybe not in Minnesota and for Al Franken where felon votes may have been illegally cast and counted.

We aren’t trying to change the result of the last election. That legally can’t be done. We are just trying to make sure the integrity of the next election isn’t compromised.

What we did this time is irrefutable. We took the voting lists and matched them with conviction lists and then went back to the records and found the roster lists, where voters sign in before walking to the voting booth, and matched them by hand.

The only way we can be wrong is if someone with the same first, middle and last names, same year of birth as the felon, and living in the same community, has voted. And that isn’t very likely.
— Dan McGrath, Minnesota Majority’s executive director

It’s unfortunate that we may never know how many local, state, and federal elections were affected in this manner, and how widespread illegal voting by felons (and God knows who else) really is.

FrankenToon

Yo, Minnesota!

All we can say is thank goodness Minnesota’s newest Democratic U.S. senator, Al Franken, was on duty Thursday. We were poring through one of America’s most glorious man-caused treasures — the 31 years of C-SPAN video archives, which The Ticket detailed with effusive praise here earlier this year.

And we realized suddenly that somehow we had inexplicably missed the comedian’s detailed explanation of a newspaper editorial cartoon enlarged so that he could identify the symbols and characters in it so the elderly senators could see it. The current White House’s pedantry is apparently infectious.

Additionally, Franken takes many moments to explain the drawing and its symbols as documentation for his argument for more government regulation of yet another part of the financial industry.

Don’t this make ya proud…!?
