California Gov. Gavin Newsom might have a hard time rounding up his posse.
The liberal governor announced Thursday that he would close all beaches in Southern California’s Orange County after voicing displeasure with thousands in Newport Beach for heading to the shore last weekend during a heatwave. Newsom said it is his job to keep people safe.
“And when our health folks tell me they can’t promise that if we promote another weekend like what we had, then I have to make this adjustment. I hope it’s only a very short-term adjustment,” he said.
Shortly after the announcement, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes released a statement that called Newsom’s order to “single out” his county “wrong.” He said that even though some pictures showed a large crowd, the beachgoers last weekend “acted responsibly” and his officers were able “to address instances of unsafe activity,” Turn to 23 reported.
Barnes said his intention is “to not take enforcement action on” Newsom’s order. He said that his department would focus on education and voluntary compliance, but he expressed no interest in making arrests.
The Los Angeles Times reported that leaders from Huntington Beach and Dana Point approved the filing of an emergency injunction to block Newsom’s order. The paper reported the Huntington Beach mayor, Lyn Semeta, said the city worked hard to ensure its residents’ safety and even pointed out that the area has one of the lowest “per capita COVID-19 death rates in California.”
“The state’s action today seems to prioritize politics over data,” he said.
The Times reported that police in Huntington Beach wrote in a statement that they were hoping for voluntary compliance but did not go further.
Barnes is not the only sheriff to express concern about Newsom’s order. When it was reported Thursday that the governor was going to enact a statewide beach closure, Humbolt County Sheriff William Honsal said, “As Sheriff, I am the protector of constitutional rights in Humbolt County, and if an order is issued that I believe violates our constitutional rights, I will not enforce it.”

thelibertydaily--2020-05-01--Woman Claims Sexual Predator Joe Biden Sexually Harassed Her When She Was 14 Years Old by Compliment

Woman Claims Sexual Predator Joe Biden Sexually Harassed Her When She Was 14 Years Old by Complimenting Her Breasts

A woman says she was sexually harassed by presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden when she was 14 years old .
The woman , Eva Murry , told Law & Crime that Biden complimented her on the size of her breasts at the First State Gridiron Dinner & Show in 2008 , a long-running roast of and party for politicians , journalists and prominent business figures held each year in Delaware .
Murry says she remembers the event occurring sometime around May of that year .
One friend and her sister said that Murry told her details of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it happened .
Four other friends of Murry ’ s said they were told about the incident , with the same details , between two and three years after it originally occurred .
Law & Crime interviewed Murry , her sister , and those friends over the course of multiple days .
Murry is the niece of former Republican Senate candidate Christine O ’ Donnell and said she occasionally received school credit for attending such political events .
O ’ Donnell was running a long-shot campaign against Biden at the time that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment .
Biden is currently under fire over allegations that he sexually assaulted former Senate staffer Tara Reade in 1993 by penetrating her with his fingers without her consent .
Biden ’ s campaign has denied it and Biden went on MSNBC Friday morning to strongly refute that allegation himself .
According to Gridiron Dinner Secretary Cathy Klocko , the roast is held the first Saturday of every May , which would place the 2008 event on May 3 of that year .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently the event was secretive and did not release information such as guest lists or photographs of the event .
“ I remember walking into the lobby and being in awe of all the people in such fancy clothes , ” Murry said in an interview .
“ Our two parties of people gravitated towards each other and everyone started saying their hellos .
When it was Biden and my aunt ’ s turn to say hello he quickly turned to me and asked how old I was .
I replied with my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ Fourteen ?
You ’ re very well endowed for 14 !
’ I was confused but it was definitely weird , he looked me up and down and hovered his eyes on my chest so I had some clue [ about ] the notion of his comment but didn ’ t fully understand at the time .
We quickly separated from his area after the encounter.
” Murry , who is 26 now and engaged with a son and daughter , was in middle school at the time Biden allegedly made the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that she attended a few additional campaign events with her aunt after Biden made the alleged remarks and she described being anxious and feeling sick to her stomach around him or upon learning that he would also be attending any such future events .
“ I feel his comments were verbal sexual harassment , ” Murry told Law & Crime .
“ I think I was too naive to realize exactly what it meant at the time but I vividly remember the uncomfortable feeling I had in the pit of my stomach during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t Biden ’ s words alone that made me so uncomfortable , it was the look , the tone , the whole general vibe was off.
” Murry acknowledged the timing of her allegation would likely invite accusations that she was acting politically but she insisted that was not the case .
Murry said that she was personally motivated to speak out because she began seeing Biden ’ s name and face appearing all over Facebook in early April after Bernie Sanders dropped out of the Democratic primary .
She said that many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Biden .
So , Murry started off by telling each of those friends her story .
She says she did this over and over .
“ It got overwhelming repeating myself on everyone ’ s post , ” she said .
“ So I made a master thread with the intentions of informing my friends and family who I care very much about , just what kind of man Biden is.
” Murry told Law & Crime she was upset about what Biden said to her rather than anything having to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or woman should get away with acting that way and that is what this boils down to , ” she said .
Four of Murry ’ s friends say that they were told about the incident .
One said she was told about it around the time it happened .
Two more said they were told about it in 2010 .
Three of those friends agreed to speak on the record .
“ She was telling me about the event and explained what happened , ” Murry ’ s friend Victoria Anstey told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being so shocked .
I didn ’ t know who Biden was or anything .
Just [ that ] she said he was an ‘ older man ’ was enough for me to not like the situation.
” Law & Crime verified Murry ’ s and Anstey ’ s identities by obtaining their driver ’ s licenses .
“ Eva is telling the truth , ” she added .
Anstey , 25 , describes herself as a feminist , animal lover and a Democrat .
She confirmed that Murry told her about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teens .
Anstey said Murry identified the man as Biden and said that hearing about the incident left her feeling angry .
“ She told me he looked at her chest and she was well endowed , ” Anstey said .
“ She looked very uncomfortable .
I asked how old he was .
She said like an older man .
I said like old like a teacher or elderly and she said old like a teacher .
I remember myself getting mad.
” Anstey also commented on the political dimensions of Murry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t stand Trump , ” she said .
“ This isn ’ t politically motivated .
This is about men in power using their status to silence victims.
” “ She was 14 and any man to think that those comments are appropriate are on the wrong side of history , ” Anstey continued .
“ We can ’ t let men ( and females ) keep getting away with these sexual comments .
It ’ s past due that society stop turning a blind eye .
People seem to only care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is ridiculous .
I want the next president to be a Democrat more than anyone but I can ’ t overlook this .
It ’ s not justice for 14-year-old Eva .
It would be doing her a disservice.
” A second friend , Katielynn Weaver , told Law & Crime that Murry first told her about it “ over ten years ago when we were younger.
” “ I started going to Delaware with her and her family so it was pretty fresh for her dealing with it , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2010 because I was 17 and just graduated and got my first car and that ’ s what we would take back and forth trips to Delaware , ” she told Law & Crime .
“ The incident happened before I met Eva but she told me about it prior to our first time arriving in Delaware.
” Eva Murry ’ s older sister , Jenna Murry , also says she was told about the alleged incident “ within a week or so of the dinner.
” The elder Murry said she previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ O ’ Donnell , “ going around with her to political events ” when she was also 14 .
Jenna said she kept up with Eva though the two didn ’ t talk much at the time because she was attending The College of New Jersey ( TCNJ ) .
“ I remember my mom mentioning at some point soon after that that Eva had met Biden and he ’ d made a weird comment , ” Murry told Law & Crime .
“ The next time I was home from TCNJ Eva @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from her perspective , specifically that he looked her up and down and stared right at her chest and made her feel really uncomfortable .
I remember being really pissed off on her behalf and thinking that she was probably more upset than she was letting on and trying to be light hearted by that point , but seemed shook .
I told basically all my friends about it at the time.
” Aileen Callaghan , another friend , said she first heard about the incident when she and Murry were teenagers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ told me , ” she told Law & Crime .
“ She mentioned that he was at an event she was with with her aunt and that he was a creep and was looking at her chest the whole time.
” “ I remember she said that Biden was a pervy old man , and was like laughing but looking down when she told us , ” Callaghan continued .
“ When she got to the details , she was clearly pissed that it had happened , and clearly hadn ’ t known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A fourth friend said that Murry told her about the alleged sexual harassment incident in 2010 or 2011 when both attended high school at the New Hope Academy in Yardley , Pennsylvania .
The friend recalled Murry telling her Biden had made the comment about her body and that the two had nervously described the incident as “ creepy ” and wrong .
The fourth friend spoke to Law & Crime on the condition of anonymity to protect her safety and career .
Murry originally detailed her accusations in a Facebook post on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t know the meaning of this ” she wrote about Biden ’ s alleged comments .
“ [ F ] or those of you that still don ’ t [ know ] , it means Biden was telling me I had very large breasts for a 14-year-old .
I learned shortly after what he meant and felt uncomfortable every time I met him afterwards .
Several additional friends of Murry ’ s commented on the post noting that they recalled hearing about the incident and said Murry was courageous for speaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those additional friends by Law & Crime were unsuccessful at the time of publication .
Murry addressed the support she received for speaking out in a later comment on the thread to that initial post .
“ I ’ ve told friends [ and ] family for years but I ’ ve never publicly put it out there , ” Murry wrote .
“ I vividly remember the anxiety I would feel going to these types of functions after that encounter , it sucked the excitement right out of it for me.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ internet bullies so I never put it out there but I went on to Facebook after putting my daughter down for a nap and Joe Biden ’ s name was everywhere !
” she continued–describing the events of early April .
“ I had to say something.
” Murry also noted that she encountered Biden “ about three times after that ” at similar such events and that “ his eyes never were on my face .
”

A woman says she was sexually harassed by presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden when she was 14 years old.
The woman, Eva Murry, told Law&Crime that Biden complimented her on the size of her breasts at the First State Gridiron Dinner & Show in 2008, a long-running roast of and party for politicians, journalists and prominent business figures held each year in Delaware. Murry says she remembers the event occurring sometime around May of that year.
The Biden campaign has called Murry’s story “absolutely false.”
A day-and-a-half after this piece was originally published, the Biden campaign provided Law&Crime with documents that cast doubt on the timeline of Murry’s allegation.
An email from Biden 2020 Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates contained two news articles which strongly suggest Biden would not have been able to attend the event in question as well as a copy of then-senator Biden’s schedule which also supports the claim that he did not attend the dinner. Finally, the Biden campaign also provided a letter from a man who identified himself as the former vice-president of the Gridiron Dinner which categorically denied Biden’s attendance that year.
Law&Crime has a full accounting of the Biden campaign’s documentary evidence here.
The new revelations cast doubt on a significant piece of a story originally reported here based on seven original sources; six of whom agreed to go on the record and one of whom did not. Despite the evidence from the Biden campaign, Murry and several of her original corroborating sources maintain that she is telling the truth (others we were not able to contact again by the time of publication).
“I don’t think Eva would have gotten the person wrong,” Murry’s older sister Jenna Murphy told Law&Crime when asked if her sister had a case of mistaken identity at the dinner that year. “She named him really specifically at the time and saw him several times after and recognized him as the person who made the comment. If anything, maybe she could have confused the date, but I really don’t think she could have gotten the person wrong.”
The elder Murry insisted that her sister wasn’t mistaken.
“To provide context for my certainty, my aunt Chris got our whole family involved in her work, so both my grandparents, my aunt Jenny, Jenny’s wife, and even on one notable occasion our entire extended family, went to campaign events with her from well before 2008 up through 2010,” she continued. “All of those people were aware of the story of the Biden comment told by both my aunt and sister so a case of mistaken identity doesn’t seem likely.”
One friend and her sister said that Murry told her details of the alleged incident more or less immediately after it happened. Four other friends of Murry’s said they were told about the incident, with the same details, between two and three years after it originally occurred.
Law&Crime interviewed Murry, her sister, and those friends over the course of multiple days. Murry is the niece of former Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell and said she occasionally received school credit for attending such political events. O’Donnell was running a long-shot campaign against Biden at the time that the alleged sexual harassment incident occurred.
As noted above, the Biden campaign did not originally respond to a request for comment. Biden is currently under fire over allegations that he sexually assaulted former Senate staffer Tara Reade in 1993 by penetrating her with his fingers without her consent. Biden’s campaign has denied it and Biden went on MSNBC Friday morning to strongly refute that allegation himself.
According to Gridiron Dinner Secretary Cathy Klocko, the roast is held the first Saturday of every May, which would place the 2008 event on May 3 of that year. Klocko went on to note that until recently the event was secretive and did not release information such as guest lists or photographs of the event.

When it was Biden and my aunt’s turn to say hello he quickly turned to me and asked how old I was. I replied with my age and he replied with the comment ‘Fourteen? You’re very well endowed for 14!’ I was confused but it was definitely weird, he looked me up and down and hovered his eyes on my chest so I had some clue [about] the notion of his comment but didn’t fully understand at the time.

Murry told Law&Crime she was upset about what Biden said to her rather than anything having to do with his politics.
“No man or woman should get away with acting that way and that is what this boils down to,” she said.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-01--REPORT: Biden Campaign Rifled Through Senate Records He Refuses to Release

‘ I believe it will have my complaint form , as well as my separation letter and other documents… ’ ( Claire Russel , Liberty Headlines ) Joe Biden ‘ s campaign reportedly scoured his private Senate records at the University of Delaware library for damaging revelations about his current rape scandal , even though Biden publicly insisted there were no personnel files in them .
He dispatched campaign operatives to comb through the 40 years of files after a former congressional staffer who has long accused him of a 1993 sexual assault began appearing in the national spotlight , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may contain information regarding the complaint that Biden ’ s former staffer , Tara Reade , says she filed against him while he was a senator .
But Biden has refused to unseal those records , telling MSNBC ’ s Morning Joe on Friday that doing so could disclose confidential information about past policy deliberations that would damage his campaign .
The records include 1,875 boxes of “ photographs , documents , videotapes , and files , ” and 415 gigabytes of electronic records , which Biden gave to the University of Delaware @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be made public “ two yeas after Biden ’ s last day in elected public office.
” But right before Biden announced his candidacy in April 2019 , the university changed its mind and said the records would remain sealed until two years after Biden “ retires from public life.
” Biden insisted that his Senate records do not contain information about Reade ’ s allegation , and that any complaint made against him would have been filed with what was then known as the Office of Fair Employment Practices .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National Archives , Biden said , adding that he is asking the Senate to open the archives .
But a National Archives spokesperson told Business Insider on Friday that “ they do not hold records ” from the Office of Fair Employment Practices .
Reade called on Biden to unseal his Senate records in the interest of transparency .
“ I ’ m calling for the release of the documents being held by the University of Delaware that contain Biden ’ s staff personnel records because I believe it will have my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ separation letter and other documents , ” Reade told Fox News on Tuesday .
“ Maybe if other staffers that have tried to file complaints would come to light—why are they under seal ?
” she continued .
“ And why won ’ t they be released to the public ?

thelibertydaily--2020-05-01--Sen. Rick Scott to Democrat NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Time to Answer for Your Dismal Fiscal Decisions

‘ It ’ s irresponsible and reckless to take money from American taxpayers and use it to save liberal politicians like Cuomo… ’ ( Michael Barnes , Liberty Headlines ) Sen. Rick Scott , R-Fla. , confronted New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo on Thursday over recent comments the Democratic governor made about him .
Earlier in the week , Scott penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that criticized fiscally irresponsible states like New York for attempting to extort Wuhan-virus-related small-business funding to plug massive government pension debts .
Cuomo responded by lashing out during a media briefing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bails you out every year , ” he complained .
“ We bail them out every year … $ 29 million more every year into the federal pot that we don ’ t get back.
” But Scott wasn ’ t having it .
Along with California and Illinois , New York is among the most financially mismanaged states in the country .
So Scott essentially told Cuomo to grow up and make better decisions .
“ Yesterday , Governor Cuomo used his daily briefing as an opportunity to attack me to distract @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state bailed out by Florida taxpayers , ” Scott said in a statement .
“ Florida has made the tough choices that New York has refused to make for decades and can get through this crisis without a bailout , ” he said .
Scott , formerly a top executive for a private hospital chain , first entered politics during the Tea Party election wave in 2010 , serving two terms as Florida governor .
Despite immense pressure , he resisted Obamacare , helped lead a roaring economic recovery in the wake of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million new jobs .
Florida ’ s population exploded during his tenure and blew past New York ’ s .
In fact , many former New York residents and businesses fled to the Sunshine State for the more favorable tax rates and cost of living .
Among those who made the exodus were President Donald Trump , who famously exited his home state last year facing persecution from New York officials , and Blanca Ocasio–Cortez , the mother of far-left congresswoman Alexandria .
Scott previously dismantled Cuomo ’ s claims that New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noting that his own state was now generously covering the health care costs of many retirees who paid massive amounts into New York ’ s system .
“ How do you explain the fact that New York has 2 million fewer people than Florida and a budget twice the size of Florida ’ s ?
” he asked Cuomo in his statement .
Scott also bristled that Democrats have dismissed it as “ somehow attacking states with significant cases of coronavirus ” anytime someone questioned their attempted cash-grab of federal emergency funding .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take money from American taxpayers and use it to save liberal politicians like Cuomo from the consequences of their poor choices , ” he said .


thelibertydaily--2020-05-02--Heros? Nurses Dance With Mock Chi-Com Virus ‘Corpse’ in TikTok Video

Viral video has negative reception as social media 's tolerance of healthcare TikToks runs dry

Last Updated on May 2, 2020
A viral video circulating social media showing four healthcare professionals dancing with a fake corpse with the words “COVID-19” written on the makeshift body bag’s feet has been negatively received.
Various images of healthcare professionals dancing, twerking, and even showing nudity have surfaced–all receiving varied responses.
At first, these images were welcomed by many, encouraging the videos to keep spirits high. However, in the past few days, social media has become saturated with multiple images, slowly shifting public opinion away from healthcare workers as choreographic becomes more risque and outrageous.
The video depicting masked up nurses dancing with the fake corpse imitates a new internet meme involving professional Ghanaian pallbearers. The meme itself has enjoyed tremendous success on social media.
Rumors began circulating social media as to whether the body itself was a real corpse.
Nevertheless, the video raised several eyebrows as annoyed viewers gave their opinions on the amateur dance routine.
I’m hearing this was an actual dead body pic.twitter.com/Tjt8kkhv6z — Jaredo Texas (@JaredoTexas) April 30, 2020
One tweeter said: “I agree that it should never have been a tiktok thing, But, knowing a number of first responder’s (cops, paramedics, nurses etc.) A very dark sense of humor is not meant as a way of offending or insulting anyone, but rather a coping mechanism for the horrible they see every day.”
To which another replied: “I don’t think you will be happy with if they used your family member for a coping mechanism video. We all stand and clap for NHS workers for their outstanding work they do but not for some of them to disrespect the tragic death of someone’s loved one like they did in this video.”

Another tweeter wrote: “Absolutely disgusting behaviour this is unacceptable and they should know better.”
“They’re carrying the “corpse” of corona virus insinuating that they will kill the virus. Not an actual patient,” tweeted a second, attempting to clarify the corpse as symbolic.
“It’s a dummy and depicts the winning of the war on Covid 19,” wrote a third.
Several memes deriding healthcare professionals for using their spare time for TikTok videos have gained popularity as millions endure lockdown during the global pandemic.

How the Five Eyes alliances lets the English -speaking countries share intelligence The Five Eyes alliance is an intelligence-sharing pact among the leading English-speaking nations: US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is one of the most comprehensive pooling of security information in the world and traces its roots to the Second World War, although it was formally founded in 1946. Its cornerstone arrangement is ECHELON - a mammoth surveillance system operated by the US and used by the other members. Although the group have largely had shared interests - especially during the Cold War when the Soviet threat level spiked - the agreement has come under strain. Britain's decision to sub-contract Chinese telecommunications giant Huwaei to build part of the 5G network is a sticking point, with the US voicing concerns and hinting it could jeopardise intelligence sharing.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-02--Clownish Democrat State Rep. Claims He Doesn’t Believe Biden Sexual Assault Survivor Tara Reade Due

Clownish Democrat State Rep. Claims He Doesn’t Believe Biden Sexual Assault Survivor Tara Reade Due to ‘Position Of the Female Vagina’

For today ’ s dose of liberal hypocrisy , liberals are now demanding that MSNBC host Chris Hayes be fired by the network for daring to cover the increasingly credible sexual assault allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden .
Democrats were so up in arms about his segment that # FireChrisHayes was a trending Twitter hashtag on Thursday .
Tara Reade has alleged that Biden cornered her in his senate office in 1993 and forcibly inserted his fingers inside of her .
Her claims have been corroborated by several people she told about the incident at the time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who says she was told about the assault back at the time , has even went public saying that she ’ s a strong Biden supporter and will vote for him , but that she “ still [ had ] to come out and say this … I would want somebody to stand up for me .
It takes a lot of guts to do what [ Reade ] is doing.
” MSNBC ran seemingly endless coverage of the far-less-credible claims by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course .
During his segment , Hayes brought on New York magazine ’ s Rebecca Traister , who had penned an op-ed criticizing Biden for not addressing Reade ’ s allegations .
She discussed her thoughts on the matter with the host , saying that his silence is creating an awkward time for his female supporters .
“ What this is creating is a kind of a perfect storm where the women who are being asked to support his opponent are now being asked to answer for these charges , ” Traister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the vacuum created by Joe Biden who is not yet really directly answering these questions , and certainly , not doing what I wish he would , which is to say : ‘ Please direct your questions about these allegations to me , and not the women that are out there offering their support to my candidacy.
’ ” “ The man in question , the nominee , the former vice president , is going to have to address them , ” Hayes argued .
“ And not have Stacey Abrams or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kirsten Gillibrand do that.
” Abrams has been campaigning to be Biden ’ s VP pick and was busted spouting talking points handed out by the campaign , claiming that he was cleared in an investigation by the New York Times .
The newspaper has disputed that claim .
Sen. Gillibrand has also been massively hypocritical on the issue , going from “ believe women ” and cheerleading Blasey Ford , to supporting Biden despite the questions about his behavior with women .
“ So when we say believe women , it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure there ’ s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth , to be heard , ” Gillibrand said during the conference call .
“ And in this allegation , that is what Tara Reade has done .
She has come forward , she has spoken , and they have done an investigation in several outlets .
Those investigations , Vice President Biden has called for himself .
Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations and I support Vice President Biden.
” Now , the liberal mob is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discuss Reade ’ s allegations , as seen by the # FireChrisHayes trend .
During Gillibrand ’ s infamous speech in support of Blasey Ford on the Senate floor , she asserted that “ this is not a court of law ; this is a job interview , ” saying they do not have to hold Kavanaugh up to the same standards needed for a conviction .
Apparently that same standard does not exclude Democrats who have been accused with even more credibility .

UPDATE: Komi resigned from office on Saturday.
Democratic New Hampshire State Rep. Richard Komi is facing calls for resignation after a tweet saying that he does not believe Tara Reade was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden — due to the “position of the female vagina.”
Komi’s Twitter “likes” tab is also littered with porn and other imagery degrading women.
Tara Reade has alleged that Biden cornered her in his senate office in 1993 and forcibly inserted his fingers inside of her. Her claims have been corroborated by several people she told about the incident at the time, including her former neighbor Lynda LaCasse, who says she was told about the assault back at the time.
Komi is a former refugee who was resettled to the United States in 1999. He was first elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in November 2008.
In one of the most asinine takes on the situation, Komi essentially declared that someone can’t put their fingers inside of a woman unless she wants it.
“Judging by the position of the female vagina, it will not be easy for anyone to just put their finger into the vagina unless their is some Cooperation from the female herself,” Komi tweeted Friday at 9:44 a.m. The tweet has since been deleted. “That is why I believe Tara Reade’s allegations are false. She is looking for attention.”
The rape-denier was featured in a Biden video on expanding Obamacare in December.

The state’s Republican Party was quick to blast the representative on Twitter, tweeting at Democrat lawmakers from the state and demanding to know if they agreed with his callous take.
The New Hampshire Democratic Party and their chairman Ray Buckley called on Komi to resign just hours later.
“Representative Komi’s comment is wrong, inappropriate, and offensive to all Democrats, and does not reflect the values of our party. I applaud Speaker Shurtleff’s swift action, calling for Rep. Komi to resign immediately,” Buckley said in a statement posted to Twitter on Friday evening.

I applaud Speaker Shurtleff's swift action, calling for Rep. Komi to resign immediately.”#nhpolitics https://t.co/rL5K5zEejD — NH Democratic Party (@NHDems) May 1, 2020
Komi is now desperately attempting to walk back his remarks.
“I wish I had worded my words more appropriately. It was not intended to lessen the pain that sexual assault survivors face all their lives,” Komi told a local news outlet. “I do not believe Joe (Biden) is the type of person who would do anything to hurt a woman.”
A dive into Komi’s Twitter, however, reveals what appears to be a great fondness for porn.
Komi frequently “liked” tweets from a sex worker who goes by the name “Ginger Banks” on Twitter and the porn site “Only Fans.”
Komi had not resigned as of Friday evening, but he did set his Twitter account to “private.”

Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf Vetoes Telemedicine Bill Because it Restricted Democrats From Murdering Babies in Their Homes

Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf ( D. ) vetoed a telemedicine bill designed to alleviate a backlog of medical services because it restricted access to at-home abortion .
The Pennsylvania state legislature passed the bill , which sought to promote the use of remote , virtual medicine in the state amid the coronavirus quarantine .
The bill established guidelines for the provision of remote medical services , and also provided for reimbursements of insurance companies for remote services .
Gov .
Wolf , an outspoken abortion supporter , slammed the door shut on the bill because it did not apply to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ valuable option in the delivery of health care services , especially during these trying times .
However , it is crucially important to ensure this access is equitable and does not restrict medical treatment and services , '' Wolf said in a veto message released Wednesday .
He claimed the bill `` interferes with women 's health care and the crucial decision-making between patients and their physicians . ''
The Pennsylvania state legislature passed the bill after adding an amendment that indirectly regulated abortion-inducing drugs .
Democratic lawmakers opposed the bill because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for procedures that are not approved under the Food and Drug Administration 's Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ( REMS ) .
The abortion drug mifeprex has not been approved under REMS , which requires patients to be informed about a drug 's side effects , along with the drug 's registration with an FDA safety program .
Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman ( R. ) said the bill was written to ensure the safety of patients and ease access to doctors without increasing travel or the use of personal protective equipment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing to restrict abortion , since at-home abortions are already not allowed in the state .
He accused the governor of rewarding his political allies at the expense of public health .
`` In bending to his political interests , the Governor is denying access to medical care , increasing the cost of healthcare and decreasing the quality of life in our communities , '' Corman said in a statement .
`` This bill embraced federal guidelines for prescribing medications .
The bill changed nothing about how healthcare was being offered through an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an excuse to veto the bill is just a partisan falsehood . ''
Wolf has prioritized abortion throughout the pandemic .
Despite the state government 's ban on elective surgeries , Planned Parenthood Keystone , which operates in a significant portion of the state , said it would remain open `` for abortion services only . ''
It also put out a call for donations of personal protective equipment despite shortages in local hospitals .
Wolf 's office did not respond to requests for comment .
Pro-life groups denounced the governor 's decision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mancini , president of March for Life , pointed out the heightened risks of self-administered abortions , which do not apply to other medical services that can be provided online .
`` While helpful in many situations , using telemedicine in the context of abortion eliminates critical aspects of medical oversight , for example the use of ultrasounds to rule out a deadly ectopic pregnancy , '' Mancini said .
`` That Governor Wolf , a close ally of our nation ’ s largest abortion provider , Planned Parenthood , would veto a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telemedicine is not only a politically motivated decision , but it defies common sense .
Sadly Pennsylvania residents will miss out on the positive aspects of virtual medicine because of it . ''
Wolf has received substantial support from abortion activists throughout his political career .

Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf (D.) vetoed a telemedicine bill designed to alleviate a backlog of medical services because it restricted access to at-home abortion.
The Pennsylvania state legislature passed the bill, which sought to promote the use of remote, virtual medicine in the state amid the coronavirus quarantine. The bill established guidelines for the provision of remote medical services, and also provided for reimbursements of insurance companies for remote services.
Gov. Wolf, an outspoken abortion supporter, slammed the door shut on the bill because it did not apply to at-home abortions.
"Telemedicine is a valuable option in the delivery of health care services, especially during these trying times. However, it is crucially important to ensure this access is equitable and does not restrict medical treatment and services," Wolf said in a veto message released Wednesday. He claimed the bill "interferes with women's health care and the crucial decision-making between patients and their physicians."
The Pennsylvania state legislature passed the bill after adding an amendment that indirectly regulated abortion-inducing drugs. Democratic lawmakers opposed the bill because the new amendment banned the use of telemedicine for procedures that are not approved under the Food and Drug Administration's Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). The abortion drug mifeprex has not been approved under REMS, which requires patients to be informed about a drug's side effects, along with the drug's registration with an FDA safety program.
Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman (R.) said the bill was written to ensure the safety of patients and ease access to doctors without increasing travel or the use of personal protective equipment. He stressed that the bill did nothing to restrict abortion, since at-home abortions are already not allowed in the state. He accused the governor of rewarding his political allies at the expense of public health.
"In bending to his political interests, the Governor is denying access to medical care, increasing the cost of healthcare and decreasing the quality of life in our communities," Corman said in a statement. "This bill embraced federal guidelines for prescribing medications. The bill changed nothing about how healthcare was being offered through an in-person visit. To use that as an excuse to veto the bill is just a partisan falsehood."
Wolf has prioritized abortion throughout the pandemic. Despite the state government's ban on elective surgeries, Planned Parenthood Keystone, which operates in a significant portion of the state, said it would remain open "for abortion services only." It also put out a call for donations of personal protective equipment despite shortages in local hospitals.
Wolf's office did not respond to requests for comment.
Pro-life groups denounced the governor's decision to block the telemedicine legislation. Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, pointed out the heightened risks of self-administered abortions, which do not apply to other medical services that can be provided online.
"While helpful in many situations, using telemedicine in the context of abortion eliminates critical aspects of medical oversight, for example the use of ultrasounds to rule out a deadly ectopic pregnancy," Mancini said. "That Governor Wolf, a close ally of our nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, would veto a bill for not including chemical abortion in telemedicine is not only a politically motivated decision, but it defies common sense. Sadly Pennsylvania residents will miss out on the positive aspects of virtual medicine because of it."
Wolf has received substantial support from abortion activists throughout his political career. Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania PAC donated $26,500 to support Wolf's reelection in 2018, according to state campaign finance records. Planned Parenthood Votes also donated $5,000, while NARAL contributed $2,000 to Wolf in 2014.
Twenty-one Democratic attorneys general called on the FDA to loosen restrictions on abortion pills because of the coronavirus pandemic, arguing the restrictions are "onerous and medically unnecessary." The Susan B. Anthony List, a group that supports pro-life female candidates for public office, said Democrats are attempting to exploit the pandemic and advance abortion interests over those of constituents in need of necessary medical services and prescriptions.
"The Pennsylvania legislature acted prudently to expand telemedicine while keeping in place regulations that protect women from the risks of dangerous abortion drugs," the Susan B. Anthony List told the Washington Free Beacon.

The coronavirus pandemic has upended much of daily life around the world, but that doesn”™t mean geopolitics and regional rivalries have stopped. In fact, China may be using the crisis to boost its position in the hotly contested South China Sea. Lisa Fletcher has that story.
Lisa Fletcher: When it pulled into port in Guam in the Western Pacific, the USS Theodore Roosevelt was carrying more than just the cases of coronavirus that would propel the ship into the headlines when its captain sounded the alarm. Its unscheduled stop also sidelined a big part of America”™s ongoing effort to show military strength in a part of the world that China would like to dominate. Nowhere more so than the South China Sea - a crucial seaway surrounded by competing nations with claims over the area and it”™s resources. To understand what”™s going on while the world is focused on the virus, we reached retired Navy captain Carl Schuster, the former director of operations at the military”™s joint intelligence center for the Pacific.
Lisa Fletcher: When it comes to the Western Pacific, why is there so much attention on the South China Sea. Why is that such a flashpoint?
Carl Schuster: It's become a flashpoint in the last 30 years mainly because China has begun to assert its interests. They claim the entire South China Sea under what they call the nine-dash line. China expanded that about five years ago to include Indonesia's Natuna Islands. The key escalation occurred in the 1970s, there was a discovery of oil reserves in the Spratly Islands archipelago, and suddenly everyone wanted to initiate their claims.
Lisa: For more than a decade, China has been building up its naval forces and on some remote, previously empty islands, it has built military bases, ignoring other nations”™ claims of sovereignty. In March, Beijing conducted large-scale naval exercises in the South China Sea and in mid-April, a Chinese carrier battle group sailed close to Japan and Taiwan.
Schuster: They're sending a signal to the neighbors. "We're the home team. The Americans aren't there for you now. Does that tell you how reliable they might be in the future? Whereas we are here. We've always been here and we always will be." There's a geopolitical leverage perspective. There is a geopolitical message.
Lisa: That statement makes me think that people who are strategists for the U.S. and decision-makers can't rely on old ways of thinking or old impressions about the way the Chinese operate.
Schuster: We need to change the way we approach. We're no longer the only game in town, so, ”˜we're angry, we'll cut off your money,”™ no longer works, because China will step in. We've got to rethink how we do it as a whole government process because that's the way the Chinese think. We've got to develop an integrated, full-spectrum approach to covering the Chinese, integrating soft power, information warfare, cyber power.
Lisa: A sign of just how important the area is to the U.S. Navy, just before the coronavirus outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the carrier sailed as part of a large U.S. fleet through the South China Sea. For Full Measure, I'm Lisa Fletcher.
Since the first case of coronavirus was reported on the carrier Roosevelt, other navy ships including carriers have reported outbreaks but the Pentagon says readiness has not been affected.

The Hill reports that “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Matthews said on Friday that he was surprised to see people rallying behind Michael Flynn after FBI notes regarding his interview had been unsealed.
“Did the FBI play hardball? Yeah. Guess what? The FBI plays hardball. And guess what? If you are talking to the FBI — and a lot of lawyers would say don’t talk to them unless you have to — don’t lie,” Wallace said.
Fox's Chris Wallace on Michael Flynn: "Did the FBI play hardball? Yeah. Guess what? The FBI plays hardball. And guess what? If you are talking to the FBI — and a lot of lawyers would say don't talk to them unless you have to — don't lie."https://t.co/RHPi177Qt8 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) May 2, 2020
John W. Huber destroyed that talking point of the FBI playing hardball and accused them of cheating instead in a lengthy thread.
Okay let’s listen in on a Chris Wallace phone call he makes while on vacation (while he makes dozens each day), get the transcript, call him up and ask to chat about that call, say he doesn’t need a lawyer, keep him “unguarded” and “relaxed”, and send an agent he’s met before https://t.co/WlQYGWAPzF — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then don’t show him the transcript to jog his memory, or advise him he’s under investigation, or read him a warning about 1001 lying laws about misleading federal agents — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then come away thinking he didn’t accurately describe the call but wasn’t giving *any* indications of lying in the opinion of the FBI agents & leave the case dormant (except for going to senior people working for Chris’s boss at Fox and telling them he’s a liar, so he’s fired) — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then open a case against Wallace again when it’s convenient for political reasons, and threaten to jail Wallace’s family unless he cops to “lying” — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then have Wallace’s lawyers strongly recommended he plead guilty to save his family from jail time, so he decides to plead guilty — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
By this time Wallace will be $6m in the hole in legal bills, with no job, career in tatters, and having to sell his house just to stay afloat — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then have an avalanche of suppressed exculpatory documents come out showing that the entire “investigation” of Chris Wallace was baseless in the first place, making any lies immaterial and not chargeable anyway — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Then have Wallace say in a sworn declaration that “in gods name” that he was actually innocent all along and only plead guilty to help his family, and beg the court for forgiveness, and ask to have his plea back so he can try and clear his name — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
Oh, THEN we can have an anchor on Fox News say, in effect that “Gee sucks Chris, but the FBI are tough cookies, and it’s your own fault for lying. Suck it up you chump”. Talk about an empathy malfunction, geez. Wake up — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 2, 2020
You’d think Wallace would be a bit more guarded about the intelligence community seeing as the Obama administration via Eric Holder actually spied on one of his colleagues and later admitted it was a mistake.
Not too dissimilar from other 1001 cases I’ve worked on. Agents and prosecutors love this statute. Most people have no idea how it works, or they wouldn’t talk to agents without a lawyer – or usually even with a lawyer. — Ross Garber (@rossgarber) May 2, 2020
Please tell me you believe Wallace will have seen and read this thread. Tremendous. — Philip Jagoe (@philjagoe) May 2, 2020
Would you like to volunteer for this Chris @FoxNewsSunday?!? — ???? ???????? (@buckeye36) May 2, 2020
I always thought he was a fair guy till recently — Bill Adair ???? (@BuckeyeBilly4) May 2, 2020
If ever Wallace was to cement his status as “resistance par excellence” this is it. — Doug Jones (@DOUG__JONES) May 2, 2020
The FBI could get the Pope to lie. They’re experts in getting a person to lie in order to get a tactical advantage over them. Wallace should know that. — Dennis O'Brien (@devpdko) May 2, 2020
Note to self. If the FBI wants to chat, tell them "up yours". — John L. (@meanswhatitsays) May 2, 2020
