As charges of sexual improprieties shake the landscape around entertainment and politics, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and his staff on Friday were investigating what they believe is an attack by a web robot involving a woman who says she was harassed and assaulted when he was U.S. attorney nearly 40 years ago.
“These allegations are completely and unequivocally false. We are looking into the origins of these untrue claims,” said Maria McElwain, Blumenthal’s communications director.
Someone calling themselves Linda Flores of Cheshire claimed that Blumenthal assaulted her when she was a summer intern in 1979. Blumenthal went on to the state Senate, and then became the state’s longtime attorney general before winning the U.S. Senate seat. He was U.S. Attorney from 1977 until 1981.
In response to a request for an interview Friday, Flores, in an email, declined. During the afternoon photos of her were changing and disappearing on her Twitter account, which was locked from the public later in the afternoon — and then suspended by Twitter.
In an email to Hearst Connecticut Media, Flores said she grew up in Cheshire and her father was able to arrange an unpaid internship in the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Haven. The email, containing misspellings and poor grammar, described a workplace atmosphere that led to her assault.

It’s so easy to know who’s telling the truth when it comes to any accuser and a democrat/liberal. Lying comes naturally for a democrat/liberal.
I believe it was Pickles Clinton who during the campaign last year said something to the effect of, “I believe all victims of sexual assault have the right to be heard and believed.”
In this case I agree with her.
Notice everything is blamed on “bots” now.
Russian bots.............
Hah hah! Twitter will probably ban her.
“Russian bots” is the new narrative by the left. They’re blaming them for everything. Apparently the lady’s account got 404’d.
It’s the seriousness of the charge that matters. Run him out of Dodge!
I have that same feeling . . . and surely there is no more important evidence than that.
awwwah...
Maybe Blumenthal should mail himself a suspicious package. I hear Al Gore’s available.
Yes and it’s patently ridiculous! The Dems need a new scapegoat; this one has become the new “racist” cry. :-)
That's news.... you got proof?
Isn’t living a life of deviance, debauchery, moral bankruptcy and having a mortal thirst to have power and control over your fellow man, what it means to be a Liberal??
“Someone calling themselves Linda Flores” . . . If Blumenthal was a Republican, does anyone here think the paper would be so dismissive of the accuser?
[Richard Blumenthal known at the time as richy.]
ITCHY RICHY
Yeah bot, that’s the ticket! Second bot excuse in 2 days by a prog. But no bots for you GOP!
Bot...bot...bot my arse!
