California Democratic leaders have released statements attempting to distance themselves from pro-labor union activist Cesar Chavez in the wake of "heartbreaking" allegations against him.
On Wednesday, the New York Times published a bombshell report revealing accusations that Chavez sexually abused several women, including fellow labor activist Dolores Huerta, prior to his death in 1993.
In response to the article, several California elected officials have released statements condemning the actions and expressing support for the victims.
"These are heartbreaking, horrific accounts of abuse. I stand with the survivors, commend them for their bravery in sharing their stories, and condemn the abhorrent actions they described. The survivors deserve to be heard. They deserve to be supported. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect," Sen. Alex Padilla wrote in a statement.
He continued, "There must be zero tolerance for abuse, exploitation, and the silencing of victims, no matter who is involved. Confronting painful truths and ensuring accountability is essential to honoring the very values the greater farm worker movement stands for — values rooted in dignity and justice for all."
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie wrote on X, "It takes immense bravery to come forward, and my heart goes out to all of the survivors, including Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, and Dolores Huerta. The accounts of abuse are deeply disturbing and unacceptable. I’ve been in touch with labor and community leaders in San Francisco and will continue to ensure we are supporting this community and all survivors."
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also wrote in a statement, "The sickening reality is that what Dolores, Ana, and Debra endured is not isolated, nor is it of the past.

Cool.
Now do Adam Schiff.
It was 40 years ago and it’s not like the guy can defend himself against these allegations. I don’t doubt they could be true though.
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that Deep State doesn't hire the front office appearance types for brains.
They are attacking Cesar Chavez because he was strongly against illegal immigration, since it suppresses wages of workers.
Hard to attack him as “racist”, so they resorted to this.
Thank you.

Dear California democrats: He’s yours, you own him. There’s no distancing from him, he’s all yours.
If these allegations are true, you can bet all the folks who worshipped him knew about them, but they didn’t care.
What changed?
Commies going to do what commies going to do.
Build a figure head up, tear the figure head down.
Whatever is expedient to the agenda at the moment.
There was more fiction than truth in the build up and it is likely there may be more fiction than truth in the tear down.
The “Big Lie” is that there is a revolution.
The “Big Lie” stays the same but the details are in constant evolution.
Now do MLK.
Good one!
“What changed?”
Answered in post 7.
Every democrat hero has feet of clay. They always will. Their philosophy is a pander so their leading lights will always be the pandering type.
Yep.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. And Chavez’ legacy is no longer useful to them.
We have known about the sins of Che and Cesar for decades. Why is it suddenly a problem?
