The allegations against Democrat Matt Dababneh are serious, credible, and disturbing. The same is true for former Assemblymen Raul Bocanegra and Roger Hernandez.
Unfortunately, local tax raiser Sharon Quirk-Silva has accepted nearly $35,000 from the three during her career, and today the Republican Party of Orange County calls on her to return or donate the money she received from these abusers to charity.
Sadly, truth of the matter is, she has not even called on Dababneh to resign because that would eliminate the Democrat Super Majority. She is choosing to protect her ability to raise your taxes again instead of protecting women from abusers like Dababneh.
We're committed to sending Sharon Quirk-Silva into an early retirement, but special interests in Sacramento will make sure she has a fully funded campaign.
Who knew that traces or gossip about sexual perversion would pass around so quickly. This is unbelievable. First, Raul Bocanegra drops out for sexual assault from his days as a staffer followed by more allegations from current employees in Sacramento.
Yesterday, a leftist blogger over at "Down With Tyranny" published a post alleging that not only was Assemblyman Dababneh the individual that masturbated in front of Ms. Lopez, but that the Los Angeles Times was sitting on the story.
From the post:
"The story I got from 4 other state legislators yesterday and today is that he followed a woman into a bathroom, locked the door and pulled out his dick and masturbated in front of her. Supposedly the L.A. Times is sitting on the story and several of the legislators suggested that if I write about it, the L.A. Times will be forced to and he'll resign-- another Climate Change denier flushed away."
The downfall of one more corrupt Democrat could not be better!
And for everyone's amusement, check out the hard time that we gave this tax-and-spendthrift regressive Demo-rat at his last public town hall at Reseda High School:
The sexual harassment scandals are spilling out into the open like never before. The Democrats have stood by their perverts and predators for years, but they no longer have a strong protection in the corrupt, left-wing media.
Raul Bocanegra has resigned.
It looks like Matt Dababneh is next, as a disturbing set of allegations from lobbyist Pamela Lopez indicates that the West Valley Democratic assembly locked her in a bar bathroom and masturbated inf front of her.
Other campaign staffers have commented that is sexual behaviors and disgusting banter drove other women away from assisting candidates in their campaign bids.
This is pretty sick, althought Dababneh denies all of it, and his lawyer has issued a cease and desist letter to Lopez.
At an emotional press conference in Sacramento Monday morning, lobbyist
Pamela Lopez named Assemblyman Matt Dababneh (D-Woodland Hills) as the
legislator she says pushed her into a bar restroom and masturbated in front of
her. Lopez says they were at a party in Las Vegas to celebrate two mutual
friends’ wedding, not in Sacramento as previously reported.
Lopez, who testified about the incident at an Assembly hearing last
week without naming the legislator, said at the time she feared retaliation for
speaking out. She was also afraid that revealing the episode took place in Las
Vegas would reveal Dababneh’s identity before she was ready.
Another blog suggests that the Los Angeles Times has known about Dababneh's salacious behavior, but refused to report on it. Shameful!
Sacramento lobbyist Pamela Lopez has claimed that, in 2016, Democratic
Assemblyman Matt Dababneh followed her into a bathroom, masturbated in front of
her and urged her to touch him. Dababneh has strongly denied the allegation.
"It was Matt Dababneh," Lopez told The Times in a November
interview.
Lopez jolted the California political world seven weeks ago when she
first shared her account of an encounter in Las Vegas, joining more than 140
women as they denounced in an open letter a "pervasive" culture of
sexual harassment and misconduct in the state Capitol.
The Los Angeles Times was not "jolted" by this story. The true jolting occurred when this pro-Democratic rag had no choice but to report on the "Jerk from West Valley".
Lopez had not publicly accused Dababneh until Monday, when she formally
filed a complaint with the Assembly and named him at a news conference. The
Times had been preparing a report on her accusations against Dababneh, and
sought the assemblyman's comment late last week.
Dababneh told the Times on Monday afternoon that he "100%"
denies Lopez's allegation.
"I am utterly shocked and blown away," Dababneh said in an
interview. "This is a career-ending charge based on no facts."
Yet the Democratic Party throughout the country jumps on every hint of impropriety against Republicans, and they demand that the court of public opinion serve as judge, jury, and political career executioner.
Cry me a river, Matt!
Lopez, 35, first told her story of the encounter to the New York Times
in October, but she declined to name the legislator. At an Assembly hearing
Tuesday on harassment prevention, she said, "I am fearful of being
retaliated against."
She has told the Los Angeles Times in a series of interviews she
worried that naming the legislator would turn him into a scapegoat, distracting
from the larger issues of a Capitol culture she believes does not sufficiently
protect women. She also told The Times she wasn't naming him because he holds a
powerful position.
He is chairman of the Finance and Banking Committee. Wow. It looks like all of his chances have been cashed out at this point.
Lopez said in the interviews that when she initially told her story to
news organizations, she purposely misstated the location, saying it happened in
a bar in Sacramento. The reason, she said, was that she feared disclosing the
true location — a co-ed bachelor party at a Las Vegas hotel – because it would
have made it easier to identify Dababneh.
HUH?
The heads are rolling in Sacramento. It's about time.
For this town hall, held at Reseda High School in Reseda, the Valley section of Los Angeles, I wanted to ensure that Becerra answered all questions and everyone go to hear his answers.
For some reason, this statewide officer has no interest, no willingness to listen to constituents or answer their questions. Let's tell the truth, though, about his frequent visits to different sections of the state. Becerra is campaigning for re-election, nothing more, and he is using the California State Attorney General's office to push a destructive, regressive, anti-Trump agenda.
He has lost numerous cases while suing to stop the Trump Administration, and let's hope that we can knock him out so that he does not get re-elected in 2018.
This town hall was hosted with Assemblyman Matt Dababneh, who is trying to show himself having bipartisan credentials, so that he fight back against Republican and Democratic challenges for his seat in 2018. Susan Shelly almost won the seat in 2013 during a special election, but she lost by a razor thin 200 votes.
When I started talking with members of the audience, I found that there were a number of people who shared views similar to mine. One man commented that he had worked hard for nearly 50 years, saved his money, ensured for his retirement, and despised the state government for stealing his money and handing it out to local and county governments which refuse to budget properly.
Here is the first, extended video I had recorded at the Dababneh--Becerra town hall:
The best line from him? "Health care is not a human right."
Thank you. It's a commodity, a good, a service.
Steve Crowder helps explain the crucial difference among these different terms:
There were some natty young people there who wanted to fight with us, but I also met other residents in the Valley area who supported Donald Trump and hated the illegal immigration, the high taxes, and the poor services offered by the state of California. Pensions, potholes, and problems galore, and the Democrats just want to give us more!
Enough!
Matt Dababneh held court for a great period of time. As often happens with the Brad Sherman town halls, Dababneh spent more time touting his legislative accomplishments than listening to questions or hearing the concerns of his angry, frustrated constituents.
Finally, Becerra showed up, and then Dababneh and company launched into more presentations and awards.
I was really frustrated at that point, and I called out "Question! Ask a question."
Becerra actually received one of my own. "Will you sue colleges which refuse to protect the First Amendment?"
Unbelievable but true, he refused to speak to my concern, which is that colleges and cities connected to them refuse to defend protesters and demonstrators who want to exercise their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly.
The most egregious example of this lately occurred at UC Berkeley, when I was chased down the street, my hat, cape, and glasses were stolen, and then I was pepper-sprayed and glitter-bombed.
It was really bad for me, and worse for others, including a cameraman who got beat up!
Becerra wanted to shame us Trump supporters and call us rude.
The only reason I shouted out at him was that he refused to answer my question.
Other members of the audience were angry because Becerra is not working with ICE enough. Let's not forget that he wants to stop the border wall and protect young illegals rather than enforce the federal immigration laws in cooperation with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The outrage reached a fevered pitch when Becerra chose to run away rather than face us.
I could not believe that we had to endure this!
Of course, we refused to simply let Matt Dababneh get away with raising our taxes, reducing the penalties for knowingly infecting someone with AIDS, and turning California into a sanctuary state for illegal aliens:
Dababneh realized that he was surrounded, and that angry constituents were not going to tolerate being ignored and pushed aside as though they do not matter.
After he fled the scene, LA County for Trump celebrated yet another victory of the people against corrupt, arrogant, and undocumented politicians.
They have no good traits which I can mention!
Final Reflection
I was really impressed that there were many other like-minded people in the audience along with all of us. The anger from overburdened, exasperated California voters has reached a feverish pitch, and we are not going to put up with all of this abuse any longer.
Enough is enough. For myself, I cannot tolerate these elected officials pissing on my leg and telling me that it's raining. The state of California is in a bad state, and we California citizens want this state to remain in a strong viable state for ourselves and our future.
I was born in California, raised in this state, and I cannot think of any better place in the world to live. It's wrong, it's a total criminal for these represents, whether by district or across the state, to steal our money, abuse our rights, and destroy our quality of life.
I was really pleased that people came up to me after Becerra and Dababneh shut down their meeting to call out Becerra for ignoring illegal immigration. I have met at least two Democrats from the West Valley who voted for Donald Trump! This is incredible!
It's time that more citizens, more angry Californians started rising up and taking on the rampant evil from our state and locally elected representatives! Nothing can hold us back!
Matt Dababneh represents District 45, in the West Valley region. Republican Susan Shelley nearly won the seat in a special election, and Dababneh has had to move toward the middle ever since. Daily News reports: Exposing a split
between political groups in Los Angeles, several Democratic clubs are refusing
to back the re-election bid of Democratic Assemblyman Matt Dababneh amid
accusations he’s too conservative.
Dababneh: Not Progressive Enough
Ouch! Local clubs are throwing their Democratic elected officials under the bus already?! Well, well, well. I thought that Republicans were divided in California ...
The Stonewall
Democratic Club, the Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley and the San
Fernando Valley Young Democrats all declined to endorse in the June 7 race, a
signal of unhappiness with the 35-year-old incumbent. What is the matter with these people? Don't they care about their team? Don't they have any team spirit?
Those groups are
backing candidates in several other San Fernando Valley races. So, they are sitting this race out ... In reality, they are eating their wown.
Democratic Party of
the San Fernando Valley executive board member Doris Dent said she’s worried
about Dababneh’s voting record and his support from businesses like Chevron.
“I consider myself a
progressive and he’s just not progressive enough,” said Dent, 76, a Northridge
resident. Not progressive enough? And how are their policies any where near progress? Please explain how job-killing regulations are helping the state of California to progress?
Dababneh, whose
district extends from Tarzana to Chatsworth and Reseda to Bell Canyon, has the
support of the California Democratic Party and Los Angeles County Democratic
Party. He’s also endorsed by Gov. Jerry Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti,
and more than a dozen current and former Democratic politicians. Well, isn't that nice? But the grassroots organizations, the activists, the door-knockers and the phone-callers aren't all that happy with Dababneh!
The dissatisfaction
with Dababneh highlights the varying political positions within the party and
comes as so-called “moderate Democrats” across the state face pushback from
progressives.
This dissatisfaction is eating up Democratic incumbents all over the state.
Mike Gipson hit from the left
Mike Gipson of Carson is getting hit from his left, along with Cheryl Brown in San Bernardino. Even though Republicans are struggling to regain their footing in California, Democrats are finding their more progressive peers trying to pull out the rug from under them. The TEA Party of the Left is steaming at Democratic legislators who pay closer attention to the needs of businesses, not just the left-wing, SJW activists more interested in their Utopian fantasies than bread-and-butter realities. In Congressional districts, too, Democratic clubs are sitting out elections, refusing to endorse incumbents. Ami Bera of Sacramento is feeling the heat, and some of the labor unions who would normally line up behind a Democrat, have sided with Sheriff Scott Jones! CD-24 has opened up with the retirement of Lois Capps. Democratic partisans are worried that two Republicans could advance to the general election! Peter Aguilar has faced heat from the left for his differing votes on immigration and the Iran Deal. Does he support amnesty? Yes or no? If yes, then why did Aguilar vote to block Syrian refugees from coming into the country? Janice Hahn doesn't like minority status in Congress, either. After all, she sat with thirteen other Democrats on the Los Angeles City Council for ten years, and got everything she wanted. Bipartisanship is a four-letter word in Los Angeles, and Republicans are an endangered species which stay behind the glass to stay safe. President Barack Obama has tilted the Democratic Party so far to the left, that residents even in the state of California have switched their affiliation. A growing number of independents are taking over even in Los Angeles, and Republicans are winning back important seats which they had held in years past then lost due to ineptitude or lack of effort. Republicans need to work together, and take advantage of these desperate splits in the Democratic Party. The greater likelihood of a Democratic Top Two race for US Senate race all but assures that the infighting will explode across the state. Couple that with disaffected Bernie Sanders supporters and Hillary Clinton's high unfavorability ratings, and Republicans may stand more of a chance than expected.
