When yet another hero of the “progressive” Left was exposed as a perverted child rapist, it wasn’t a matter of shock as much as it was a resetting of the clock to “zero days since a Democrat was exposed as a monster.” Cesar Chavez, Democrat saint of the labor movement, loved to rape pretty much every woman or girl he was left alone with, and it sure seems like everyone around him knew it and kept quiet about it because the monster was helpful to their cause.
Anyone remember the “Me Too” movement? Matt Lauer’s career is over, as it should be. Charlie Rose might as well not exist, and Harvey Weinstein will likely die in prison. And that’s just a few of them – the progressive perverts who will never work again (not that they need to, most were paid an awful lot in their predatory days, so they’re good).
In fact, the only person I can think of who has come back is Mark Halperin, the reporter and author who reportedly groped and kissed female co-workers, as well as rubbed his erect penis on them in the office. Completely disgusting behavior that was ignored when “Me Too” champion and alleged victim herself, Megyn Kelly, hired him because, well, she’s never really explained why she overlooked behavior significantly worse than what she claimed victimhood over by alleging Fox News creator Roger Ailes engaged in with her. Maybe she’s waiting to figure out a way to blame the Jews for it?
Obviously, Kelly cared about the money more than the principle, and the price of hypocrisy was well worth it for her. It’s largely ignored now, as the people who’d call her out for it are busy sucking up to get access to her audience – you can make a lot of money by appealing to a very small part of the population, standards and decency only get in the way of that.
At least no one associated with Kelly has been accused of rape, either of an adult or a child, so she’s got that going for her…I guess. Not the greatest defense, but when there really isn’t one other than “I wanted the money,” you take what you can get.
But the rest of the progressive Left is reeling over the revelations about Cesar Chavez and multiple allegations of repeated rape. Teenagers, pre-teens, co-workers, pretty much anyone, for years and years.
When the story broke last week, there was a lot of shock from the Left about their labor leader hero. Before then, it was nearly impossible to not know of something – school, community center, park, etc. – named after Cesar, even if you didn’t know who he was.
He died in 1993, and the left-wing industrial complex was already in motion to lionize him. There’s also no way many of them didn’t know he was a monster, but he was their monster. What’s a little rape in the name of the “greater good,” right?
His partner in union activities, Dolores Huerta, claimed she was a victim of his sexual assault, too. The New York Times reported, “His most prominent female ally in the movement, Dolores Huerta, said in an interview that he sexually assaulted her, a disclosure she has never before made publicly.”
Seems weird that she waited till now, doesn’t it? I’m pretty cynical, so I would like to see an investigation into whether or not Huerta’s story checks out. Not that she slept with Chavez, she apparently has a couple of kids with him, but whether or not she was an actual victim. Because I don’t understand the love of a cause to the point that you’d allow yourself to be repeatedly raped to advance it. Especially when you’d have to pretty much be Helen Keller to not notice he was doing the same to multiple other women and little girls.
According to an investigation by The Times, one 13-year-old victim “walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office…she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.” (Emphasis added.) The stories are disturbing and disgusting; you should read the whole story yourself.
One thing you come away with is the reality that a lot of people knew what was happening and let it continue – they simply cared more about their union cause and Democrat politics than the lives of the girls and women being abused.
And if the Harvey Weinstein and Me Too movement showed us anything, it’s that not only are there a lot of people who cover for monsters, but the stories of those monsters spread widely. Weinstein was “the worst kept secret in Hollywood,” for example, Matt Lauer has a door lock button on his desk, and the genital rubbing allegedly took place in common areas. Stories circulate, rumors pass around…and no one asked or said a word?
Internal documents show lots of people knew, but Cesar was deemed “too important” for consequences – what’s a little child rape compared to the solidarity of union?
Cesar Chavez was the original Jeffrey Epstein, yet all the people clutching their pearls and embracing the women who helped him recruit more victims (who now claim victimhood themselves, but took the money) aren’t really saying anything about Chavez. Both were Democrats, but one can be tied to Donald Trump 25 years ago. The other has a long string of living victims who’ve never had their stories told till now, only the left-wing industrial complex is doing all they can to bury it – they report it, so they can say they did, then ignore it.
This is a huge scandal, with a lot of people who should be investigated and probably charged as accessories and destroyed as enablers of child rape – there have to be hundreds who knew, and thousands upon thousands who likely suspected (all Democrats), and not a single one of them will face serious questioning, let alone criminal charges. Think about that the next time you hear Adam Schiff or Jamie Raskin demand “answers” about Epstein. These horrible men, both fathers (horrible ones, but fathers nonetheless), will ignore child abuse because it is not only not useful to their political cause, but harmful to it.
Buildings and parks will be renamed (making local news only), statues removed (not torn down like with our Founding Fathers), and victims will be swept under the rug. If you’re useful to Democrats, they will champion the victimhood of escorts who admit to recruiting young women to feed a monster, but if you’re just a Hispanic girl raped by a “community hero,” shut your mouth and take one for the team.
Yes, Democrats are that gross. Actually, they’re much worse.
