Left-wingers are defending Democratic congressional candidate Alex Morse after he was accused of having inappropriate sexual relationships with college students while he lectured at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, including during his congressional campaign.
Morse, the mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, is running for Massachussets’ 1st congressional district and seeking to unseat 30-year incumbent and Democratic Rep. Richard Neal.
Morse was elected “at age 22 as the youngest and first openly gay mayor of Holyoke” and “revitalized the city” through “investments in green energy and the arts,” according to his biography from Justice Democrats, a left-wing political organization linked to Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Three College Democrats groups in Massachusetts emailed Morse a letter on August 6, accusing him of using social media to seduce college students at “UMass Amherst, where he teaches, and the greater Five College Consortium” as well as using College Democrats events to meet college students and add them on his social media, according to college newspaper The Daily Collegian.

Prominent left-wingers have defended Morse on Twitter.
Glen Greenwald of The Intercept said that the allegations against Morse were “homophobic smears,” and asserted that people were “disgustingly (and homophobically) maligning” Morse as a “predator,” despite the fact that he was engaging in purportedly consensual relationships with college students.
Everyone — but especially those who have spent the last 3 days disgustingly (and homophobically) maligning @AlexBMorse as a predator — should read (or listen to this great interview he gave about all of this today.https://t.co/sS3tbkRE6L — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) August 11, 2020
Greenwald additionally said it was “grotesque” and “demented” that a Massachusetts arm of climate advocacy group Sunrise Movement used phrases like “rape culture” and “survivor justice” in their statement denouncing Morse’s conduct and retracting their endorsement of his congressional campaign.
Using the terms “survivor” and “survivor justice” in this way is grotesque for so many reasons, as the Western Mass chapter of @sunrisemvmt does: including making it impossible to take seriously cases where it’s warranted. Look how demented this is:https://t.co/hOFZfGysmS pic.twitter.com/j7N1ZoTVQ9 — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) August 10, 2020
Vox’s Matthew Yglesias implicitly questioned the validity of the criticism against Morse because the “consensual relationships” he was reportedly having were with “people who weren’t his students.”
Here’s the College Democrats statement with the precise charges. They argue that it’s wrong: — For a lecturer to have relationships with undergrads even if they aren’t his students. — For a mayor to hit on people he meets at College Dem events. https://t.co/fCF24rYoS3 https://t.co/bK9Jp18pBb — Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) August 9, 2020

The LGBTQ Victory Fund, a group that “provides campaigning, fundraising, and communications support to LGBTQ candidates,” maintained its support for Morse in spite of the allegations against him. The group called the allegations a “disservice to voters” because they were “vague and anonymous,” according to a statement released on Monday.

This isn ’ t the first time a fake Buffalo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media .
In March 2019 , the restaurant chain debunked a similar scam from an unaffiliated Facebook page masquerading as the brand .
“ A post making its way around Facebook offering 50 free wings is a SCAM … Please , don ’ t be fooled and report the page if you come across it , ” reads Buffalo Wild Wings ’ March 2019 Facebook post .

A viral Facebook post claims that everyone who shares and comments by 8 p.m. on Aug. 11 will get 50 free wings from Buffalo Wild Wings.
Verdict: False
The promotion is a scam. Buffalo Wild Wings debunked nearly identical fake offer on Aug. 10.
Fact Check:
The viral post, purportedly from the official Buffalo Wild Wings Facebook page, shares a promotion offering coupons for free wings to everyone that shares and comments on it by 8 p.m. on Aug. 11.
“Celebrating our 38th Birthday, We here at Buffalo Wild Wings are giving Everyone who shares and also comments by 8 PM Tuesday – 50 free wings in any flavor – We Will Inbox Your Coupon – Participants Must Like Our Page – Buffalo Wild Wings,” reads the post.
The offer, however, is not a valid promotion from Buffalo Wild Wings. The Facebook page, which was created Aug. 10, does not have the same handle as Buffalo Wild Wings’ official page, and it also lacks the blue check mark that indicates it has been verified by Facebook. Searching the Buffalo Wild Wings website and its official Facebook page turned up no such promotion.
Buffalo Wild Wings posted on Facebook a screen grab of a page offering a nearly identical fake promotion on Aug. 10, labeling the offer as “fake.”
“If you see this in your feed today, it is NOT REAL,” the post reads. “This is a fake account with no verified blue checkmark.” (RELATED: Is Little Caesars Offering Free Pizza To Anyone Who Shares And Comments On A Facebook Post?)

FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris Descends From Slave Owner Who Said Slaves Were ‘Comfortable’, According To Her Father

While campaigning for president , California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris said she ’ d look into reparations for slavery .
Now the running mate to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden might have a chance to tackle reparations .
But Harris might have to come to terms with claims from her father that her ancestors were slave owners .
According to Harris ’ father Donald Harris , a retired Stanford University economics professor , the Harris family descends from a 19th-century slave owner , Hamilton Brown .
“ My roots go back , within my lifetime , to my paternal grandmother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown ’ s Town ) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris ( née Iris Finegan , farmer and educator , from Aenon Town and Inverness , ancestry unknown to me ) .

While campaigning for president, California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris said she’d look into reparations for slavery. Now the running mate to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden might have a chance to tackle reparations.
According to Harris’ father Donald Harris, a retired Stanford University economics professor, the Harris family descends from a 19th-century slave owner, Hamilton Brown.
“My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter,” Harris allegedly wrote in an article for Jamaica Global, according to Snopes.
Brown owned multiple plantations throughout the 19th-century, even going so far as to say slaves were “comfortable” in Jamaica, according to a pamphlet from 1832 entitled “Three months in Jamaica” that documented life on sugar plantations. Brown also advocated against the abolition of slavery, per Snopes.
Donald Harris’ claims remain unproven with no verifiable information supporting the claim that the Harris family descended from Hamilton Brown.
“A whopping 35 percent of all African-American men descend from a white male ancestor who fathered a mulatto child sometime in the slavery era, most probably from rape or coerced sexuality,” Henry Louis Gates Jr., a historian and top professor at Harvard University, has said. “In other words, if we tested the DNA of all of the black men in the NBA, for instance, just over one-third descend from a white second or third great-grandfather.”
Kamala Harris has voiced her support for studying reparations for black Americans impacted by the effects of slavery and racial discrimination, but says she’s not sure what exactly those reparations would look like. (RELATED: Biden Picks Kamala Harris To Be His Vice Presidential Nominee)
“This stuff needs to be studied, because America needs a history lesson, and to be honest about it, and we need to study it in a way that we are having a very comprehensive and fact-based conversation about policies and the connection between those policies and harm if we’re going to have a productive conversation. It can’t just be, ‘Hey…write some checks’,” said Kamala Harris while speaking in Iowa in 2019, according to The Des Moines Register.
Correction: This post has been updated to make clear that while descending from a slave owner, nearly 35 percent of black Americans have descended from slave owners in some regard.
