As sexual misconduct
allegations continue to rock liberal Hollywood, the mainstream media
establishment, and politicians of both political parties, at least the
Democrats can count on CNN to eschew reporting about dozens of sexual
allegations on members of their party.
To be fair, it is worth noting
that CNN has reported on a couple of the big Democrat sex scandals currently
receiving major media attention on other news networks, specifically the
scandals involving Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI).
When CNN is not busy giving
President Donald Trump 93% negative coverage,
covering for Islamic terrorists,
botching gun reports,
or being sued by
over 200 African-Americans for racial discrimination, they are busy covering
for Democrats across the United States by not reporting on scandals.
Below are 24 recent Democratic sex scandals that CNN has
failed to report on their website
(documentation showing CNN did not cover the scandals is provided at the bottom
of this report).
1. Four new women accuse
Bill Clinton of sexual assault. (11/20/2017)
The
Daily Mail reports:
Bill Clinton is facing
explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly
placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton
and Obama administrations.
The current accusations
against the 71-year-old former president — whose past is littered with charges
of sexual misconduct — stem from the period after he left the White House in
2001, say the sources.
Attorneys representing the
women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are
preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.
2. Congresswoman accuses
Democrat Bob Filner of sexually assaulting her. (11/21/2017)
The
Huffington Post reports:
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.)
on Monday accused a former congressman of assaulting her while they were both
serving in the House.
In an appearance on MSNBC’s
“Meet the Press Daily,” DeGette said that former Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) at
one point tried to pin her in an elevator and forcibly kiss her.
“Some years ago, I was in an
elevator and then-Congressman Bob Filner tried to pin me to the door of the
elevator and kiss me. And I pushed him away,” DeGette said. “I mean, I was his
colleague. He couldn’t take action against me. And believe you me, I never got
in an elevator with him again.”
3. Democrat Raul Bocanegra
resigns leadership position and won’t seek re-election over sexual allegations.
(11/20/2017)
The
Los Angeles Times reports:
Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra
announced he will not seek reelection Monday, citing “persistent rumors and
speculation” regarding sexual harassment claims.
“I spent my life advocating
for the Northeast Valley, fighting for a fair share for our communities and
residents,” Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) said in a statement. “It is because of my
deep commitment to you, residents of the 39th Assembly District, that I have
made the decision to resign from the State Assembly, effective September 1,
2018, and immediately resign my leadership position. I am also suspending my
campaign and will not run for re-election.”
The statement came as The
Times was preparing a story reporting that six women had accused him of sexual
harassment.
4. Democrat congressional
candidate David Alcon is arrested for stalking in New Mexico. (11/13/2017)
The
Washington Free Beacon reports:
A Democrat running for
Congress in New Mexico's second district was found and arrested at an apartment
complex in Albuquerque on Friday, nearly two weeks after an arrest warrant was
issued for him.
David Alcon is now behind bars
after a woman accused him of stalking her, according to local station KRQE News
13.
The woman, who attended a
Halloween party at a hotel in Santa Fe on Oct. 28, said she started receiving
persistent text messages from Alcon—one with a picture of his genitals, some
suggesting that he was watching her, and others professing his love for her.
5. 10 women accuse Colorado
Democratic lawmaker Steve Lebsock of sexual harassment. (11/10/2017)
CBS
Denver reports:
A former Democratic
legislative aide is now the tenth woman to accuse Rep. Steve Lebsock, a
Democrat representing Thornton, of sexual harassment.
On Friday, public radio
station KUNC published a blistering report in which nine women, including Rep.
Faith Winter, a Democrat representing Westminter, accused Lebsock of sexual
harassment.
Winter says Lebsock became
aggressively lewd at a bar on the last day of the 2016 legislative session when
he found out that Winter’s husband was out of town.
6. Colorado Democratic
House Speaker Crisanta Duran accused of ‘covering up’ sexual allegations
against Democrat Steve Lebsock. (11/14/2017)
The
Denver Post reports:
Colorado’s top Democratic
lawmaker is under fire for how she handled a colleague’s sexual harassment
complaint against a member of their party and now faces calls for an
independent investigation.
House Speaker Crisanta Duran
appointed Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, as chairman of the Local Government
Committee for the 2017-18 legislative session despite knowing that the fellow
lawmaker made the allegation against him seven months earlier. The accusation
became public Friday and was followed by harassment complaints from two other
women.
Republican legislative leaders
are demanding an investigation from the attorney general’s office to address
what one GOP lawmaker called a “coverup.” Others are calling for the speaker’s
resignation.
7. Minnesota Democratic
lawmaker Dan Schoen resigns over sexual harassment allegations. (11/21/2017)
The
MINNPOST reports:
DFL Sen. Dan Schoen's
attorney, Paul Rogosheske, said the senator will resign in a Wednesday
afternoon news conference. Schoen was facing mounting pressure to step down
from top leaders in his own party, including Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk
and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton.
On Nov. 8, MinnPost reported
allegations from two women that Schoen, 42, had sexually harassed them. One of
the women, Lindsey Port, a former DFL candidate for the House, said in 2015
Schoen came up from behind her at a campaign event and grabbed her buttocks,
telling her she had a "good door-knocking ass." Schoen, a first-term
senator, was serving his second term in the House at that time.
8. Third woman accuses
California Democrat Sen. Tony Mendoza of sexual harassment. (11/16/2017)
The
Sacramento Bee reports:
A third woman is alleging that
Sen. Tony Mendoza behaved inappropriately toward her when she worked in his
Capitol office seven years ago.
Haley Myers said she told the
Assembly in 2010 that Mendoza engaged in behavior that she considers sexual
harassment when she worked as a legislative aide for him in Sacramento.
9. Sexual harassment
controversy threatens to ensnare California Democratic Senate leader Kevin de
León. (11/11/2017)
The
Mercury News reports:
The controversy surrounding
sexual harassment in the state Capitol deepened on Friday and threatened to
ensnare one of the Legislature’s leading Democrats, Kevin de León, as questions
swirled over when the Senate leader became aware of complaints against his
weekday roommate.
The plot thickened after a
lawyer for a fired Senate staffer told Capital Public Radio that her client and
two other employees were handed termination letters in the same meeting in
which they detailed inappropriate behavior by their boss, Sen. Tony Mendoza,
toward a young female intern.
The attorney’s account
contradicted the timeline provided Thursday by De León’s office, raising
questions about what the Senate leader, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, knew about the harassment allegations.
10. Democrat Randor
commissioners president Philip Ahr charged on multiple counts of child
pornography. (10/11/2017)
The
Inquirer reports:
Philip Ahr has resigned as
Radnor Township Board of Commissioners president for “personal reasons,” but
will continue to serve as a commissioner, according to a resignation letter
released Monday, nearly two weeks after he was charged with distributing and
receiving child pornography.
Ahr, 66, of Bryn Mawr, was
arrested and charged on Oct. 11 with numerous felony counts. Authorities said
that since at least 2013, Ahr sent and received hundreds of images of child
sexual abuse — some involving infants and toddlers, others depicting
sadomasochistic abuse and abuse involving children and animals.
11. Woman claims New York
Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo ignored her pleas to investigate one of his
staffers who was allegedly sexually harassing her. (11/20/2017)
The
Buffalo News reports:
What began as a “flirty”
relationship between a state worker and a powerful official now threatens to
ensnare the governor of New York.
Andrew M. Cuomo is named in a
federal lawsuit that Lisa M. Cater, of Buffalo, filed after she heard some of
Cuomo’s top lieutenants praising Sam Hoyt upon his resignation last month as a
gubernatorial confidante, even as probes into the former economic development
official’s alleged sexual harassment continued.
She alleges that Cuomo ignored
her pleas to investigate her sexual harassment complaints against Hoyt, while
Buffalo Republicans renewed their questions.
12. Democrat Rep. Calvin
Smyre accused of sexual misconduct. (11/13/2017)
The
Ledger-Enquirer reports:
A Fox News contributor and
national Democratic party activist has alleged via social media that Columbus
legislator Calvin Smyre sexually assaulted her in 1996 in Chicago.
Smyre, in a statement released
on Sunday, strongly denies the accusation.
In a nine Tweet string on
Friday, Jehmu Greene, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic National
Committee chairperson earlier this year, accused Smyre, the dean of the Georgia
General Assembly, of the crime during the national convention 21 years ago.
13. Florida Democratic
Party President Sally Boynton Brown resigns amidst sexual harassment
controversy. (11/20/2017)
Sunshine
State News reports:
Florida Democratic Party
president Sally Boynton Brown has resigned amidst a flurry of controversy when
two former party staffers said she “enabled” FDP chairman Stephen Bittel’s
“creepy” and “inappropriate” behavior towards female staffers.
Boynton Brown made the
announcement late Monday afternoon.
“After much prayerful
consideration I tendered my resignation to Chairman Bittel and Vice-Chair Mount
this afternoon,” Boynton Brown wrote in an email to party leaders.
14. New Mexico Democratic
legislator Sen. Michael Padilla accused of sexual harassment. (11/18/2017)
The
Albuquerque Journal reports:
New Mexico state Sen. Michael
Padilla says he is seeking advice from friends, family and advisers on whether
to continue his campaign for lieutenant governor, amid calls for him to drop
out due to decade-old sexual harassment allegations.
Padilla was accused in two
federal lawsuits of harassing women while helping the city of Albuquerque
overhaul a problem-plagued emergency call center in 2006. The city ended up
settling “sexually hostile work environment” claims stemming from Padilla’s
six-week tenure as a supervisor.
He has denied accusations that
he asked women on dates despite repeated rejections and made inappropriate
comments, including saying that, in his home, “Women stay home, make tortillas
and have babies.”
15. Colorado Democratic
Rep. Paul Rosenthal accused of sexual harassment and groping. (11/17/2017)
The
Denver Post reports:
Eight months ago, toward the
end of the legislative session, a Democratic policy aide reported concerns
about harassment from Colorado state Rep. Paul Rosenthal to the House speaker’s
office.
The issue never rose to a
formal complaint, but the Denver Democratic lawmaker later apologized and
received materials counseling him about the General Assembly’s workplace
harassment policy.
The new details, described in
interviews and confirmed by another Democratic lawmaker, raise more questions
about Rosenthal’s behavior amid a
legislative investigation of a separate incident, one in which he
allegedly groped and made unwanted advances toward another gay man at a 2012
political event when he was a candidate.
16. Illinois Democratic
Sen. Ira Silverstein accused of sexual harassment. (10/31/2017)
CBS
Chicago reports:
A political activist has
accused Illinois State Sen. Ira Silverstein (D-Chicago) of sexually harassing
her while the two were working on legislation to help crime victims last year.
During a House committee
hearing about sexual harassment by lawmakers, lobbyists, and staffers in
Springfield, Mothers on a Mission to Stop Violence founder Denise Rotheimer
detailed a pattern of harassment by Silverstein, accusing him of invading her
privacy.
“He would Facebook me at
midnight, call me at midnight,” she said. “You have no idea the torment.”
17. Missouri Democratic
Rep. Josh Peters accused of sexual harassment. (01/25/2017)
The
Kansas City Star reports:
A Democratic state senator
from University City is accusing a legislative colleague of touching her
inappropriately shortly after the annual State of the Judiciary address Tuesday
morning in the Missouri House.
Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal
discussed the allegations during Senate debate of a right to work bill, saying
Democratic state Rep. Josh Peters grabbed her by the arms, called her “boo,”
and later called her a “bitch.” The Senate speech followed a tweet earlier in the day in which she said, “Rep. Josh
Peters, you do not have a right to touch me, nor call me ‘Boo.’ We don’t have a
relationship where you get to put your hands on me.”
18. Nevada Democratic Sen.
Mark Manendo resigns amid numerous sexual harassment allegations. (07/18/2017)

revealed. (09/08/2017)

Democrat Scott Chamberlain has
been on the New Milford town council since his election in 2015, though will
leave the position by Monday after screenshots of his sofurry.com page
circulated online.
The website hosts profiles for
members of the furry fandom, a group of people who create anthropomorphic
animal avatars for themselves and occasionally dress up as the characters to
meet in person.
Many furries also have a
sexual fetish involving the costumes, though Chamberlain insisted to the
Danbury News Times his own participation in the fandom had “nothing to do with
sex; it’s an interest in cartoon animals.”
23. Florida Democratic Sen.
Jeff Clemens resigns over sexual misconduct. (10/27/2017)
Politico reports:
The incoming Florida Senate
Democratic leader abruptly resigned Friday and acknowledged he’s been in
therapy after admitting to an extramarital affair with a lobbyist.
State Sen. Jeff Clemens’
decision to quit office came less than a day after Politico Florida first reported his tryst, prompting
Republicans to accuse him of abusing his position of power while calls poured
in from fellow Democrats who said it wasn’t an isolated incident.
As pressure mounted, Clemens
took down his social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook and then called it
quits at 5 p.m. Friday.

candidate Justice William O’Neill brags about his sexual history on Facebook.
(11/18/2017)

who recently declared his intention to run for governor faced widespread
condemnation — and even some calls to resign — after he boasted about his
sexual history while defending “heterosexual males.”
Justice William O’Neill posted
a statement Friday morning on Facebook about what he described as the “national
feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions,” and in doing so disclosed details
about his sexual history.
“As a candidate for Governor
let me save my opponents some research time,” O’Neill wrote. “In the last fifty
years I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females. It
ranged from a gorgeous blonde who was my first true love and we made passionate
love in the hayloft of her parents barn and ended with a drop dead gorgeous red
head from Cleveland.
