Don't see the MSM-13 hounding Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-CA) from office. He's accused of sexual molestation of a teenage girl. Rather, Pelosi et al want these accusations buried in an Ethics investigation.
“Both friends and foes of Cardenas told CNN in interviews this week that they are still trying to sort through the facts of the case. Several said they did not want to comment because they said they believe there is a possibility Cardenas is being falsely accused.
Richard Alarcon, a former LA City Council member who challenged Cardenas for his congressional seat in 2016, told CNN in an interview that he was approached by the accuser's father after Alarcon decided to run against Cardenas in 2016.
During a meeting with the man, Alarcon said, the victim's father said he could give Alarcon negative information on Cardenas if Alarcon agreed to hire the man on his campaign. Alarcon declined. In an odd twist, the former council member said he got a text message from the man minutes after the meeting that, he said, he believed was intended for Cardenas.
The text message said "Hey Tony, you'll never guess who called me and I just met with," Alarcon recalled. He said he assumed the man was trying to play both sides and turned over the information to the FBI.
Through his attorney, Cardenas contends that the victim's father is a "disgruntled former employee" and his accuser "may be the victim of manipulation." The victim's father did not respond to a request for comment. CNN does not identify people who report sexual assault unless they choose to publicly identify themselves.”
