A student who worked with L. Douglas Wilder at the Virginia Commonwealth University school named for the former governor reported to the university and police that Wilder sexually harassed her by kissing her without consent.

The woman, Sydney Black, 22, said Wilder, 88, also suggested she could live at his house and offered to take her on foreign trips and pay for her law school in 2017, while she still worked as an office assistant at the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs.

Mike Pence’s declaration that he doesn’t meet with young women alone is cagey, not a prudish flouting of his values.

He’s staking his claim to the high ground, and declaring to the vicious American Left and the media - if you want to smear me, forget about the #MeToo nonsense, and don’t even think of trying what you did on Kavanaugh.

Race doesn't have a thing to do with this...
Sydney Black, 22, alleges that in 2017 Wilder, who is now 88, took her out for dinner to celebrate her 20th birthday, plied her with alcohol, and brought her back to his Richmond condo where he kissed her.

“He reached over and put his hand on my right leg, and I just kind of looked at him, and as soon as I looked at him, he kissed me on my mouth. I immediately jerked away,” Black said.

Really old people do stuff like that.

Does this new elite feminist culture have no mercy?

Throughout the campaign leading up to the vote the misdirection applied was that the money was going to be used for Library expansions, Public School enhancements... and things of that nature, but several years into the lottery it was found out that the monies were being used for meeting operational expenses within the state.

It's going to be used to save the cute, big-eyed puppies and cuddly, fluffy kittens!

Did they mention he’s a DEMOCRAT?

In a way, they did.

When they bury the party affiliation, it's a Democrat.

This reminds me of the tragic story of the 88 year old man and the 18 year old hottie he married.

His family became concerned. His son pulled him aside and said, “Dad, think about it. The wedding night. It could be fatal.”

The old geezer shrugged and said, “If she dies, she dies.”

Being 76, I should probably hide my head in a bag after telling that ageist joke.

"...I immediately jerked away..."

There are several way that that can be interpreted.
