Bay Area Houston

This can’t be good.

I’ve said my peace about Democratic Socialists in general and about candidate for Congress Pervez Agwan. “Much like the members of “The Squad” Agwan is fast talking, rattling off pie in the sky Bernie Sanders ideas such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, giving power to the people, yada, yada, yada. It was old in 2016. It’s old now.”

Pervez is running against Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher who has served her district and the party very well. Pervez is running to the left of the left and has a nasty lawsuit filed against his campaign for sexual harassment. And it is pretty nasty. You can read the entire original petition here. This is a civil case with the plaintiff asking for $250,000 plus exemplary damages and lawyer fees from the campaign. From the original petition:

• Plaintiff claims he made sexual advances at the campaign HQ. (assault and battery)
• He prohibited her from leaving. (False imprisonment)
• He caused (Intentional infliction of emotional distress)
• The plaintiff left her position because of the harassment

But it gets worse. According to the Houston Landing the campaign hired Over Santiago Garcias Lopez. He has since been charged with improper relationship with an underaged student. He is on $100,000 bail is no longer with the campaign.

The campaign has seen a loss of endorsements and a mass resignation of mostly female staff members in October of last year. The Houston Landing’s article is pretty bad. It claims the campaign has provided conflicting information concerning the allegations. It is worth a read.

Of course the campaign has denied the allegations and is blaming a pro-Israeli PAC. We will see.
