After watching hearing, woman accuses Washington state lawmaker of raping her in 2007
Fox ^ | 9/29/2018

A Seattle woman who said she was inspired by the televised hearing into the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, has accused a Washington state senator of raping her 11 years ago.

Candace Faber, 35, tweeted the allegations against Washington state Sen. Joe Fain, a Republican, Thursday following the hours-long hearing where Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford both testified, the Seattle Times reported.

A few minutes after the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing came to an end, Faber tweeted “Is anyone else just fed up and ready to name names? Because I am!”

She then called out Fain on the social media website and accused him of raping her in 2007 after she graduated from Georgetown University.

“Like many survivors, I was inspired by Dr. Ford’s courage,” Faber said in a statement Thursday. "Like Dr. Ford, I can no longer remain silent knowing that the man who raped me is in a position to influence the laws that govern my state and impact every woman who lives here.” Fain did not immedialy respond to a Fox News request for comment Saturday. The moderate Republican, who serves as the minority floor leader of the Washington state Senate, denied the allegations to the Times in a text message.

The information in the source article is confusing. It sounds like there was a night of drinking and sex, and the woman’s behavior is self-described as ambiguous as to consent. This would have a hard time standing up in court, but if she had filed a complaint at the time, police could at least have demonstrated that she had had sex with the man.

It already worked, Roy Moore. And while it is not new (Clarence Thomas) it is more effective now.

Totally predictable that this crap would flush out all the nations’ whack jobs. Guys, be afraid, be very afraid if you get a certified letter from a law firm.

“Is anyone else just fed up and ready to name names? Because I am!”

Poor dear. It bothered her so very much that she was paralyzed and unable to file a police report.

Sen. Joe Fain, a Republican, Should have responded with something like?:

I have never Raped or Sexually Assaulted anyone in my life, but I have on Occasion Hired a Female Escort for extra curricular activity, maybe that’s where she claims to know me from??

This is on the verge of going scorched earth. Question is, how many elected officials have committed such acts in the past. And what’s the percentage of democrats to republicans. Or will it be mutually assured destruction?

I’m wondering if too many women don’t know the difference between getting laid and rape.

Many feminists (especially cat-women-feminists type) feel any sex (with a man) is rape.

She needs to remember the senate has a special department for pay offs for such events.
