This is horrible, and every statue or history annotation about this guy needs to be removed, or a note added that he is a child rapist. Remember the taking down of our heroes? They damaged and tore down statues of some of our founders and many more who gave for our country. The progressives should be in line to take any Chavez references from the public gallery.
Conservatives are not like the left; we complain, sometimes march, but we don’t destroy our symbols or our inner cities. That is what the progressives do and accept, given that they don’t stand up to stop the insanity, they inflame and get the media to promote a false narrative. All IMO.
“Farm worker rights icon Cesar Chavez, who led the battle to unionize agricultural labor, is being accused of sexual abuse involving underage girls.
A report in The New York Times cited accounts from multiple women, several of whom were underage at the time, who were either intimidated or forced to have sex with Chavez.
The report led to calls for the legacy of the liberal icon to be reconsidered.
“The allegations against Cesar Chavez are horrific. Abuse of any kind, especially against children, is indefensible and a betrayal of the values that Latino leaders have championed for generations. There is no excuse,” Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan wrote in a post on X.
“His name should be removed from landmarks, institutions, and honors. We cannot celebrate someone who carried out such disturbing harm. My prayers are with the victims who have gone unheard for far too long. They deserve justice, accountability, and to finally be heard,” he wrote.”
