Jack Kemp

Here below are some quotes of additional details from Rick Moran's article at PJ Media. It is followed by a note about Moran, the author.

BEGIN QUOTE

Especially this senator. He then put his left hand on my groin, over my jeans, and began to rub. I seem to remember saying something like "What is happening?" It was a bit like having vertigo. He then used his other hand to grab my left hand with his right and pulled it over to touch him. At the same time, he disengaged from rubbing me and used his left hand to push me to my knees from my shoulder for what was clearly a move to have me perform oral sex on him. At that point, I pulled away quite violently and told him I had to go. I did not see him again before he left.

The victim says he contacted journalist Ronan Farrow, the "father of the #MeToo movement," who requested a phone conversation but never got back to him after the victim gave Farrow his number.
He also contacted a lawyer. Grabien reached out to the attorney who is mentioned in the letter:

Grabien News has reached out to the accuser's attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, to verify he has consulted with her, as he described in the letter.

"All I can say at this time is that the man is considering his next steps and has no further comment at this time," Dhillon told Grabien.

The victim gave his attorney the story along with some evidence. Here's what he says about that:
Once we established privileged communication, I told her my story; disclosing my real name and the details of my case. This included the precise date, location, some corroborating photographic evidence and two possible hearsay witnesses that I had told my story to subsequent to the incident. It was, at the very least, much more probative evidence than what was brought forth during the Kavanaugh debacle. Ms. Dhillon responded to me with respectful immediacy, offering candid advice and compassion tempered with pragmatism.

It should be noted that so far, major media outlets are silent on this story. It could very well be they haven't seen it. But the victim doesn't think he will get much support from the #MeToo movement anyway:

I"m not a woman. I do consider myself liberal but I no longer consider myself a Democrat. And the perpetrator of my story is a Democratic hero/2020 contender...hardly a tale that can be programmed, categorized or easily referenced by the modern American media apparatus. Especially one that caters to reductive, easy to follow narratives with a clear view of who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. So what recourse does that leave someone like me? Do I continue to engage with Ronan Farrow? I have no idea if he"s giving me the run around. Nor do I have any guarantee that his political ideology will not color his objectivity as a journalist. In light of the Ramirez story, it's clear that that is a distinct possibility.

This is from a liberal gay man, a Democrat.

Personal Note:

I've worked with Rick Moran for years at American Thinker via online contact only. He is their Submissions Editor and one of the people I submitted pieces for publication. I see him as an old fashioned moderate with standards of decency. He always treated me fairly in our communications. Moran might have been - I speculate - a "Truman or John Kennedy Democrat" decades ago, but, as that famous ex-Democrat Ronald Reagan said, "You didn't leave the Party. The Party left you."
