Nancy Pelosi Refuses to Call on Tony Cardenas to Resign After Child Molestation Claim (Congress, ethics)

[jm1982]

Is the #metoo movement taking a break in California since Dems have an election to win ?


—-
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has declined to call upon Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-CA) to resign after he was sued for allegedly molesting a teenage girl whom he allegedly drugged in 2007.

Last year, Pelosi was among those Democratic leaders demanding that Roy Moore, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama, withdraw “We’re talking about a child molester,” Pelosi told NBC News’ Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on November 27.

Pelosi declared that there would now be “zero tolerance” for sexual misconduct in Congress: “Women have spoken out. Their concerns will be addressed in a way that I think will give comfort, as well as end this behavior. … Because you know what? It’s disgusting, it’s repulsive, and it has to be zero tolerance.”

At the time, Pelosi also said there should also be “due process” for Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), who was soon forced to retire over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Nancy needs to resign herself. I'm not sure her brain is firing on all cylinders.

Nobody cares about children. They have no clout.

Some of those guys resigned immediately due to more than one person making an accusation.

IMO, we are still the USA. An accused person has a right to defend themselves. I remember Tawana Brawley.

If this guy is guilty, kick him to the curb. But somebody needs to hear all sides first.

Nancy will protect those in her party unlike the GOP. She has priorities.

Women should be believed not men or children.

No. We need to keep her on stage as much as possible to remind Republicans what happens if they don't get out to vote.

Because we have so many of these allegations suddenly popping up - I too think unless there is evidence to support these claims - they should not resign unless they choose to do to protecting their family from further harm as can be seen with these witch hunts. I don't care what political party it is - but I find it funny that one side calls for the resignation of members of their competing political party while not asking their party members to resign.
