As much as I hate to say this, I hope someone is vetting the accusers because the GOP has used women to pull this before

So as much as I want women to be believed when they accuse someone, I have to hope someone is asking a few questions.

This is because Republicans suck, no other reason.

3. Do you seriously believe Delores Huerta needs to be vetted to make sure she isn't a Republican lackey?

4. My belief or disbelief is absolutely irrelevant

The fact is that the Republicans have used women before. Some of them were lackeys,some were not.

If this story checks out, I will be disappointed but not surprised, Chavez joining a long list of men who achieved good things in their lives but thought that achievmenr entitled them to abuse the bodies of unwilling women. There is even more of that going on than Republicans trying to destroy worthy men by paying or blackmailing women into tearing them down with baseless claims.

I want to make sure those are all in order.

So what would vetting consist of?" Telling a consistent story, an opportunity for the crime to have occurred, and a lack of suspicious banking activity over the previous 6 months or so. Republican accusers have been tripped up and outed by all of these, singly and in combination. Even low bars trip up Republicans.

It doesn't take mHope and belief aren't entering into this. It might not even be this big an issue if the Republicans weren't attacking Hispanic Americans whether they are here legally or not.

6. Tons of stuff in CA is named after him.

Schools, which already have a terrible budget deficit, will have to spend tons of $$$$ and it is not just names on buildings and statues but stuff like all of your letterhead, everything will need to be reprinted, shipped, installed, etc. All due to another man who treats women like shit. What else is new?!? It's gotten to the point that I assume a man is guilty of sexual misconduct right off the bat. Later they can prove their innocence. This has been going on since man walked upright. No wonder I am a misanthrope in my old age. "Older but wiser" is my motto.
