-Lurid Crime Tales-
New York City Mayor Eric Adams Accused of Sexual Assault in Lawsuit
[REDSTATE] New York City Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
is now embroiled in another legal controversy. On Thursday, a report revealed that he is facing a civil sexual assault lawsuit from an alleged incident that occurred in 1993.
How do you fight a 30-year-old-lie?
The claim, which was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, will likely add to the legal drama in which Adams finds himself after facing an investigation into his relationship with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
. An exclusive report from The Messenger revealed the lawsuit.

Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexual assault in a legal action filed Wednesday night in a New York court, The Messenger has learned.

The plaintiff in the case, a woman whose name is being withheld by The Messenger due to the nature of the allegation, filed a summons Wednesday night in state Supreme Court in Manhattan under the Adult Survivors Act that names the Big Apple Democrat as a defendant.

The filing also names the transit bureau of the New York Police Department and the Guardian Association of the NYPD as defendants.

"Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York, New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York," the summons alleges.

In New York civil court, a plaintiff can file a summons with notice to begin a legal action — followed by a full complaint laying out the claims.

The summons is just three pages and does not reveal any detail about the alleged assault.

Mayor Adams has denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!
Through a spokesperson, he said he did not recall ever meeting the plaintiff and insisted he would never commit such an act.

The mayor, through a spokesperson, denied knowing the plaintiff, whose name was being withheld by POLITICO.

"If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it," a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement. "But he would never do anything to physically harm another person and vigorously denies any such claim."

Later, Adams stressed the same points to news hounds.

"It absolutely did not happen. I don’t recall ever meeting this person. And I would never harm anyone in that magnitude. It did not happen," Adams said. "It’s going to go its course; it’s going take its process. But it did not happen. And that is not who I am, and that’s who I have never been in my professional life."

The plaintiff, whose identity has been concealed, is seeking at least $5 million in damages. The suit alleges "intentional and negligent acts and omissions for physical, psychological, and other injuries suffered as a result of conduct that would constitute sexual offenses."

#9  He's a piece of shit Democrat, but even he doesn't deserve this.

It's because he revealed to the world that nobody wants illegal aliens and went against Biden administration (i.e. Obama's people). Suddenly the FBI is up his ass, and now there's a 30 year old rape allegation out of nowhere.

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

Fetterman leaves far-left activists fuming over his pro-Israel stance: 'Shocked by the level of disdain'
[FOXNEWS] Far-left activists have found a new cause to protest on social media and in the streets: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman.

Some activists are starting to criticize Fetterman's "trollish style," especially on the Israel-Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
war, per a Politico article from Wednesday. Fetterman, a progressive Democrat, has come out in public support of Israel after the Oct. 7 surprise terrorist attacks on Israeli, American and other civilians by Hamas.

It is a stance that has angered the left-wing of the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
. Fetterman has left far-left figures bitterly disappointed as he has been one of Israel's strongest proponents during the war, putting up pictures of Hamas hostages outside his Senate office and criticizing the country's foes.

His supporters said Fetterman has always been pro-Israel and has never been easy to ideologically pin down. Pennsylvania has one of the country's highest Jewish populations and Politico reported he has been affected by communities back home reacting to the horrific Hamas attack.

Beth Miller, political director of the far-left group Jewish Voice for Peace Action, told Politico, "I am still a bit shocked by the level of disdain that he has been giving to a growing anti-war movement." Former aides to Fetterman wrote his stance on Israel was a "gutting betrayal."

"I honestly felt frustrated," Matt Howard, board member of an anti-war veterans group, told Politico after Fetterman mocked the group for being arrested at the Capitol. "If he disagreed with them, that’s one thing. It didn’t totally make sense to me that he would resort to mocking folks."

Brittany DeBarros, another member of the anti-war group, said "Fetterman smirked and waved sarcastically at her during the arrests."

"Earlier in the day, she had prodded him on camera over his refusal to back a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas (to which he told her to go protest Hamas)," according to Politico. "She disputed the idea that activists verbally attacked him first."

Boos and shouts of "Shame!" were thrown at Fetterman as he exited the building, waving the Israeli flag while passing progressive protesters from the veterans group About Face calling for a cease-fire amid Israel's war against the Paleostinian terrorist organization Hamas.

Several protesters were in the process of being arrested outside the Russell Senate Office Building as Fetterman walked by, while others — including one wearing a keffiyeh, a symbol of Paleostinian nationalism — shouted at the senator from behind police tape.

One protester was heard at the end of the video shouting that Fetterman was "doing a disservice to Pennsylvania."

"Jacka-- [Fetterman] saw veterans getting arrested and laughed," tweeted About Face, the same group that called for the National Guard to "stand down" to Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

"We asked to see [Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
...Machine non-entity selected to become the successor to Hillary Clinton as Senatrix-for-Life from Noo Yawk. She is running for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. She has no observable principles, will apparently say anything to anyone, and seemingly lacks any personality of her own....
]," About Face continued. "We were put in cuffs."

One volunteer for the far-left anti-Israel group IfNotNow suggested Fetterman had been bought off with his stance by the pro-Israel PAC Democratic Majority for Israel and others.

"He took a good amount of money from DMFI," the volunteer said. "Those are all organizations that are opposing a political solution right now, and I think that speaks volumes."

#5  I disagree with most of what Fetterman and Sinema believe, but I appreciate that they are not 100% beholden to the system. I don’t think he speaks politician.
