Democrats Want to Know Why Conor Lamb Is Tied to Daylin Leach? #MeToo
I wasn’t going to write this post. Yet.
After I received commitments from all three Democratic candidates for Senate to complete my Q&A, I told myself that was valuable for readers and the larger LGBTQ community. I needed to be fair even if my opinions are seeping in here and there. I’m not trying strive for journalist levels of craftspersonship, but doing my best.
Even during the Thursday night debate between the three candidates, I decided early on to just turn it off after my twitter finger was itching. I was afraid if I was critical, they wouldn’t respond and that was not fair to you readers. You would hope that candidates would not punish me (and you) because of a critique, but I didn’t want to take the risk.
Then this morning, I received this image.
Daylin Leach is a rapist. He used to be a State Senator. Disclosures about his sexual violence and sexual harassment eventually led to him losing his seat, but not before he sued his accuser. Yep.
I wrote this post in 2019 laying out the facts and my own history with Leach.
