am i bad for asking they say revealed instead of claimed?
She alleges she was raped.
Does he have a name?
Seeking an advantage for the next reelection cycle when her appointment ends. Probably hope she wont be primaried.
Well now she either names names, or condones it.
Since she has a much more honorable past and demonstrated performance than that bimbo who lied about Kavanaugh, I tend to look at her claims with more belief.
However, something just doesn’t sound right.
Awaiting far, far more info.
If true, we should see names, places, and times.
This strikes me as using an issue, a horrible issue, for self-gain and political capital.
She should say who it was and answer as to why she did not report it.
Arizona Republicans strike again! From Margaret Sanger to John McCain to Martha McSally.
By not naming him, she is enabling him to do it to another.
Simple as that.
Whatever happened to “allegedly”? Or how about “without evidence”?
If it’s true, she is protecting a rapist who dishonored his position of trust. She seems to be a weak creature who should have never been put in the Senate. Especially after she lost an election for Senate a few months earlier.
This woman is seriously DUMB. Way to go Governor Ducey appointing her. WTF were you thinking?
Was the rapist white? Was the coach?
That would add gravitas to the reports and cause the MSM react.
Were McSally to reveal the names of her oppressors after all these years would be a great injustice.
Maybe she’s confusing actual rape with a dream she had about an airplane or a nuclear missile.
Whether these allegations are true or false, by waiting so long, they’re basically unprovable.
A rather curious time to reveal such an event. Anything else I say makes me look insensitive.
“The article said that the coach, who was 20 years older than her, coerced her into sex. Although she was uncomfortable, she said the coach kept her from talking about it with others by manipulating her mentally.
“Even though he didn’t physically force me, it certainly was an emotional manipulation,” McSally was quoted in the story as saying...”
The coach was contacted and denies the story. He left the school’s employment around that time, but why is unknown.
The same link points out McSally has also claimed she was stalked:
“At the time [2014], she said in a written statement that she had “threats” made against her, “and wasn’t even safe in my own home or my car when my stalker broke in and held me in a hostage-like situation.”
I recon that makes at least three men who supposedly forced her, by emotional manipulation or worse, to have sex with them. None of which she reported until in Congress, although she had extensive congressional contacts long before leaving the USAF. And apparently she never fought back.
