NYC's first lady Rama Duwaji celebrated Palestinian terrorists in resurfaced social media posts: reportrevealed that the famed Mexican-American leader of the United Farm Workers labor union “groomed and sexually abused girls” as young as 12, “used many of the women who worked and volunteered in his movement for his own sexual gratification,” and sexually assaulted Dolores Huerta, his closest female ally in the movement.
The details of Chavez locking the doors to corner vulnerable girls in their early teens are shocking. Chavez, who died in 1993, has been a left-wing icon so long, he was profiled in the front of my first social studies textbook in the 1970s.Barack Obama designated his headquarters and gravesite as a national monument.Cesar Chavez scandal could ‘snowball’ into a #MeToo movement — and spark dozens of lawsuits He’s been on a postage stamp and a Google Doodle, and in a Hollywood biopic and a Stevie Wonder song., now 96, admits: “For the last 60 years I have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement . . .

It has often been the case that tales of sexual harassment and abuse stay buried when the predators are riding high with progressives and liberals.Power has always made it easier for sexual abusers to lure and dominate their victims and to get away with it. That’s a trend we see in every culture, among religious and political leaders, media figures, entertainers, sports coaches, teachers and principals, you name it. But the left’s emotional style of hero-invention means looking the other way — while abusers are making hay, and until their usefulness has waned — in the service of the greater good of the narrative and “the movement.”Antisemitism is on the rise after start of war in Iran — with 34% spike in incidents the first week aloneSobering update in disappearance of Alabama student from Spanish club after security footage emerges Desperate Hochul begs wealthy New Yorkers to come back — as Mamdani pressures her to hike their taxes Stream It Or Skip It: 'Imperfect Women' On Apple TV, Where A Murder Unearths Secrets Among A Group Of Longtime Friends
