Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Flores is on the board of our revolution [View all]lapucelle
(18,282 posts)4. Has Flores addressed the allegations of the BS campaign's pervasive predatory culture
that led to sexual harassment and that escalated to sexual violence? Was she on the campaign last time around? Why did it take an exposé for anyone to acknowledge the problem? What about those victims?
Granted, "unwanted touching" is a genuine problem, but to ignore allegations of "sexual violence" is unconscionable.
How can Flores support a candidate whose leadership was so remiss as to enable sexual violence to repeatedly occur, simply because BS had no idea of what was going on in his own campaign?
