At least four Democrats facing sexual misconduct controversies in the #MeToo era were voted into office on Tuesday, a result that would appear to clash with the party’s claims to stand behind women and have zero tolerance toward such allegations.
House Reps. Keith Ellison, Tony Cárdenas and Bobby Scott, and Sen. Bob Menendez, all came out victorious on Tuesday, despite being accused of misconduct.
Their election raises questions whether the Democratic Party, which went all-out to stop now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the face of assault claims and stressed the importance of believing women’s allegations..."
Ellison, the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, was one of the highest-profile candidates who won the election. He became the state attorney general in Minnesota despite allegations of domestic violence.
Karen Monahan, the Democrat’s former girlfriend, alleged that he once dragged her off a bed while shouting profanities and sent multiple abusive text messages.
She also published a 2017 medical document that identified Ellison as the abuser who caused “emotional and physical abuse.”

Cárdenas, a California Democrat, meanwhile, easily cruised to victory in the state’s 29th Congressional District, receiving nearly 80 percent of the vote, while being the subject of a lawsuit claiming he drugged and sexually assaulted a 16-year-old teenager in 2007.
A Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that “a reasonable and meritorious basis” for the case to proceed and Cárdenas was publicly identified as the accused person.

Virginia Democrat Bobby Scott won Virginia's 3rd Congressional District thanks to nobody challenging him, even after he was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017.
A former Congressional Black Caucus Foundation fellow. M. Reese Everson, claimed that the congressman sexually harassed her in 2013, and that she was fired and blacklisted from further work on Capitol Hill after she refused his advances.

You can cop all the feels you want so long as you vote to keep abortion legal apparently.
Andrew Gillum should be included in the list.
Gullible voters, especially women
Almost all the accuseds were Dems . . . and yet you help them cover up and elect them
All the while participating in the fraud, slander and libel against a good man like Brett Kavanaugh
And now you want us to take you seriously
What I think would be neat now that these clowns just got elected would be to have them brought up on charges. That’s what the Democrats have been trying to do to Trump ever since the presidential elections...and there is no basis for it. Not sure the same can be said for these fellows.
Gillum wasn’t elected, and hadn’t been accused of sexual abuse AFAIK, but I get your point.
**If Kavanaugh is appointed, Roe v Wade will be overturned, and we'll lose our reproductive rights and the control over our bodies**
**ICE is separating [illegal alien] children from their parents for a few days. HORRORS!**
Yes, they are unhinged and have no idea of their rampant cognitive dissonance.
For the Dems, the highest priority to to have governmental power! All other considerations are secondary.
On the other hand they, lacking any systemic sense of morality, are happy to use it as a stick to beat on conservatives.
The simple takeaway is that one should just ignore any claims of sexual misconduct. The standard has been affirmed.
Crooks voting for crooks slackers unite.
It is a Democrat characteristic that they do not care about character. I read somewhere once this has to do with racial voting - it was in an article about that black mayor, Marion Barry, who was re-elected time after time despite being jailed for stealing taxpayer money and having drug parties with prostitutes and drugs.
They just recently put up a statue of him in DC(after taking down Confederate ones).
Basically, blacks simply aren’t bothered in the way whites are by issues of character in their candidates. They will elect thieves and lionize very corrupt people. This of course, drives, normal and law-and-order people crazy who realize that chaos and thievery in govt is disastrous.
Well said.
