Sanchez Accuses Democrat of Calling Her a 'Whore,' Resigns from Hispanic Group

This is absolutely incredible.
The Politico

Rep. Loretta Sanchez has quit the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, accusing the chairman, Rep. Joe Baca, of telling people she's a "whore."

Baca denied the charge.

In an interview with The Politico Wednesday, Sanchez, a California Democrat as is Baca, also cited concerns about whether Baca was properly elected Hispanic Caucus chairman in November and about his general attitude toward female lawmakers. The caucus represents 21 Hispanic Democrats in Congress.

"I'm not going to be a part of the CHC as long as Mr. Baca illegally holds the chair … I told them no. There's a big rift here," Sanchez said. "You treat the women like ****. I have no use for him."

She said she was surprised and insulted when she learned that Baca had made the disparaging personal comment about her to California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and other legislators last year.

Nunez "is a friend of mine. Did he think he wouldn't tell me?" Sanchez asked.

So here we have a female Democrat claiming that the male Democrat Chairman called her a whore. Wow. This is just....wow.

I have no problems referring toward a promiscuous female as a whore. If I ever run for local politics I'm sure I will have your support RightatNYC.

So, let's see. You imply that Sanchez is promiscuous. Care to share your proof? Little details like Who, What, When, Where? If not you are just a blabbering, rumor spreading fool.

I'm going to head this off at the pass and ask that people refrain from making any jokes based on the fact that she's been called a whore and that her name is "sanchez."

edit: Forget it, I can't resist. Its in the basement.

I'm going to risk sounding like a broken record and call this pointless story what it is: pointless.

Here we have another example of the media wanting to make money, and trotting out another "he said" / "she said" escapade.

Where is the news? The things that actually affect our lives?

Is the charge even true? We have no idea. It's her word against his.

And somehow it is relevant that these people were Democrats. :roll:

This is absolutely unincredible.

What if George Bush had called her a whore?? Is it a non-issue then?? I bet it wouldn't be.

"What if" ... classic non-sequitor.

A Congressman has been accused of using derogatory and debasing language toward women, and to a fellow Congresswoman no less. That makes this news regardless of the party.

I mean, if a Republican congressman were to refer to Barney Frank as a "******," I'm sure you'd be on here telling us how it's no big deal and how its not even newsworthy, right?

I agree with you, if its true. I think the Congressman's constituents have a right to know how he's treating female members of Congress.

However. We have one Congressman telling a Congresswoman something that may or may not be true about another Congressman. There may be any number of motives for any of the principal people to lie.

Agreed. Which is what makes this all the more interesting. Simply based on the stipulated facts here, without any assumptions being made, its 100% true that at least one Congressperson is knowingly lying through their teeth.

I think that's interesting, and worth finding out a bit more about.

If the lie were something that was the public's business to know, then yeah, I could understand it being "intresting" and "worth finding out more".

But, like with Bill Clinton, its none of the publics ****ing business if she is a ****ing whore.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think that anyones actually implying that he meant "whore" in the literal sense. If this was about someones sexual preferences, I'd agree, I wouldn't give a ****.

The reason I think its interesting is because this is just the latest of several reports that this guy is a misogynist, which I think is worth discussion, considering that he's the Chairman of the Hispanic Caucus and a CONGRESSMAN. Sexual preferences are personal, bigoted attitudes that one holds towards others aren't.

Macaca anyone?

Cmon guys, since when did assumptions and guessing about what Niftydrifty's actions might be if such-and-such were to happen, ever pass for an argument?

Pathetic.

Right, no big deal.

and, btw, go *Cheney* yourself.

LOL........ Okay I get you know...

Your talking about looking into the guy.

I thought for a second you were talking about looking into whether or not she is a whore... :rofl

This completely avoids the argument. Do you still argue that this is "pointless?" or somehow not a story?

The only thing this story does for me is to confirm that most male Latinos are mucho grande macho boinko oinkos. Ole' for Sanchez.

 

[Hatuey]

Are they accusing L. Sanchez of being Dirty? What other way can a Sanchez be? Clean? Come on we're all adults here.

Of course I do. Should I just state it again, over and over? I'm sorry if it seems to you that I avoided the argument.
