Ryan Nawrocki was the Republican candidate for Baltimore County, Maryland’s Sixth District council race. However, a past police report leaves questions. In the report, his girlfriend, who is now his wife, alleged that he struck her, pushed her down, and choked her. She told the police twice that he assaulted her during arguments. In the first report to the police, she claimed he pushed her down, but she was uninjured. In the second report, she claimed he hit her and split her lip, pushed her to the floor and was choking her. She managed to get him to stop by digging her nails into his arm. The police officer noted the injuries to her upper and lower lip and also noted that Nawrocki had injuries of his own. She now ascribes their altercation to youth and says there was no abuse.

Sexual Harassment

Jason Lewis had a conservative radio show before he ran for Congress. He served one term and lost by 5 points. Then, he ran for Senate, was backed by Trump, and lost by 5 points. In 2011 on his radio show, he mocked the women who recounted how Herman Cain had allegedly sexual harassed them. He even mocked the idea that sexual harassment could be traumatizing. He put on a fake voice and made fun of them. It’s probably why Trump endorsed him.

Steve Von Loor won the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina in a district backed with as many liberals as possible to dilute their voting power. He had no chance of winning so it was unlikely the state Republican central committee did a background check. Because if they did…

Rape Culture, Uncategorized

Joe Incoronato was a Dutchess County legislator when in a meeting he said women bring rape and harassment on themselves based on their behavior. The Dutchess Legislature voted 23-1 to censure him for his statements. He responded by introducing a proposal that people can only be censured if convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanor.

He has apologized for saying it while continuing to give further context that his opinion has not changed. He repeats again and again that a woman who drinks or uses drugs is impaired and more open to rape or assault, not understanding that it is the rapist who rapes. Women drinking is not an invitation to rape.
