California Dems react to Chavez child rape claims as Newsom is yet to adress scandal
NY Post
California Democrats reacted with disgust to the shocking allegations of sexual abuse of women and girls by labor icon Cesar Chavez — while Gov. Gavin Newsom has yet to address the scandal tearing through the state.
A bombshell New York Times investigation published Wednesday said that Chavez raped and sexually assaulted two girls who were as young as 12, as well as abusing other women, including his United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta.
The horrifying reports come just days before an annual state holiday honoring the late union leader, Cesar Chavez Day, on March 31. It’s unclear whether the paid day off for state workers, which was proclaimed last year by Newsom’s office, would proceed as planned.
Newsom’s office said it would “provide comment once information is shared or reported,” Politico reported.
Newsom, who had a press conference scheduled for Wednesday morning in Alameda, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Rumors of a damaging report about Chavez on Tuesday led to a wave of cancellations of events and other celebrations in his name in Texas, California, and Arizona.
