Here’s another story revealing the unbelievable bias the media harbors against Republicans and for Democrats – even when they’re accused of child molestation.
CNN reports on Rep. Tony Cardenas:
Rep. Tony Cardenas may hold on to his leadership positions despite facing allegations that he sexually assaulted a then-16-year-old girl in 2007, causing some consternation within the ranks.
Not enough “consternation” to do anything about it, however. That’s because the dems need that sweet sweet money that Cardenas brings in to the party coffers.
The California Democrat has a leadership position under House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi created after the 2016 elections, as well as a lower-level position on the whip team under Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland.
But perhaps most significantly: He chairs the political action committee of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus known as the Bold PAC, which donates money to Democratic candidates. The leadership of the PAC plans to meet Thursday, and Cardenas’ chairmanship could be discussed, but the PAC will continue to raise money at a Washington event on Wednesday, according to a source briefed on the matter.
Now look, it would be utterly stupid to whine that NOBODY in the mainstream media is covering this story when I’m literally quoting from CNN, but it IS reasonable to ask why there’s BARELY any coverage. I had to go look for this story, and there’s hardly anything out there about it.
A spokesman for the chairwoman of the CHC, Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, did not comment on whether the congresswoman wants Cardenas out as the chairman of the PAC.
But some Democrats are concerned about the optics of having a member accused of a serious crime atop a PAC that will dole out money to members facing re-election in the fall.
“It looks very bad,” one Democratic member groused.
But it only looks bad to the FEW on the right who look up the story. Great job, media!!!
