In the film Airplane! there is a running joke where Captain Ovure asks a kid named Joey a series of inappropriate questions like “Have you ever seen a grown man naked?” and “Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?” One of these questions is “Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?” in reference to the oily homoerotic fight scenes in Spartacus. During the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, grandstanding NJ Senator Cory Booker referred to himself as “Spartacus” and he apparently does like movies about gladiators. A gay man is accusing the democrat of trying to force a sexual encounter in a public restroom. #BelieveAllMen?
An anonymous man has posted a lengthy accusation of sexual assault against Cory Booker. This man describes himself as a gay liberal who votes mostly for democrats and who once considered Booker a personal hero. Here’s what he said happened:
Cory Booker Sexually Assaulted Me
Yes, you read that right. The man who would be the modern incarnation of the Thracian
Gladiator turned rebellion leader, once tried to aggressively force me to give him a blowie in my (then) workplace restroom.I had the chance to meet and speak with him at some length in an informal group setting. I made it quite clear that I was a great admirer of his, especially with regard to his record of being an advocate of the LGBT community. I left the meeting prior to the rest of the group, just as everyone was finishing up and went to use the restroom. It was there that Booker and I bumped into each other again for what would prove to be a much less pleasant
I stopped to use one of the building’s single-occupancy restrooms. Upon washing my hands prior to leaving, I heard knocking on the door…When I opened the door, Mr. Booker was there. He smiled and very gregariously said “Hey!” We engaged in some brief idle chitchat in the entryway and then he asked me to speak in private.
He pulled me into the restroom, albeit not too forcefully and slowly pushed me against the restroom wall. He said that “Being a hero was a serious turn-on”. He continued, “The Senate appreciates fine citizens like you. 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.
If you remember, Booker as member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, believed the baseless accusations by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh. He said he found her evidence-free story to be credible, called for an FBI investigation, and ultimately voted against Kavanaugh, based largely on the unsubstantiated allegation of sexual misconduct. What are the chances that he supports an investigation into the allegations against him?
Unlike Ford, this anonymous man claims to have some solid corroborating evidence to support his accusation:
I wanted so badly to speak out but I was highly ambivalent about the consequences of going public. So I reached out to two lawyers anonymously. One of them got back to me; Harmeet Dhillon of the Dhillon Law Group, a 1st amendment trial lawyer and RNC committee member. 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.
A major point in this anonymous man’s writing is that he doesn’t think democrats will take his allegations seriously and he’s right. Democrats say all women should be believed, but what they really mean is that all women accusing a Republican should be believed and any women accusing a democrat should be ignored. The fact that he’s a man accusing a democrat makes it even less likely that democrats will believe him and they sure as hell won’t freak out like they did with Kavanaugh.
