*** Lucy Flores left Our Revolution in May 2018 ***

[pnwmom]

So can we please stop saying she's a liar when she says she hasn't yet endorsed anyone, including Bernie?

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/24/our-revolution-bernie-sanders-staff-changes-607330

Velasquez’s departure follows the resignation of Lucy Flores, a former Nevada assemblywoman and fellow founding board member, who quit in April over her own anger at Our Revolution for, in her view, ignoring issues important to Latinos.

To set the record straight, I haven’t endorsed any presidential candidate including Sanders. But even if I had endorsed someone, that doesn’t erase the multiple pictures, articles & the well known “open secret” abt Biden’s inappropriate behavior. This shld been addressed long ago

2. That is a non-updated page. She publicly left the org and that is reflected on their Mission page.

Additionally, Lucy Flores resigned from the board in April 2018 due to what she claims was the organization's lack of outreach to the Latino community.

3. They should really update that page.

Especially since there's a link to it right next to the current list of board members.

I know it's a static page, but they should add an addendum or something to avoid confusion. I suspect they may do so shortly.

[sheshe2]

5. Interesting that it has been a year.

4/2018 since it was said she resigned yet still listed.

Our Revolution. Hmmm.

[sheshe2]

4. Perhaps they should update their links and page.

According to them she is still there.

Very misleading. Hmm.

[pnwmom]

6. They're a pretty disorganized bunch, from what I've heard. n/t

[sheshe2]

8. No kidding.

Frankly I do not believe a word they say.

Cenk Uygur/ TYT/ Our Revolution/ Justice Democrats.

No thank you.

The truth is now coming out. This may be a good thing.

39. LUCY FLORES said horrible things about Hillary. I can't stand her and don't believe a word she says

Trashing Dems in my book is rotten. She went after Hillary and how she is trying to hurt Joe Biden.
Shame shame shame on you Lucy.

[Hortensis]

27. That she belonged to this disreputable radical group at all,

though, casts doubt on her judgement and credibility. Those prone to extremist behaviors are always dishonest within the sphere of their zealotry, and usually profoundly so, because both their beliefs and the ruthless behaviors that go with zealotry require it. Their ends always justify their means, necessary because everyone not with them is bad and must be stopped. So what was she doing with them?

And Ms. Flores left this group not because of the typical destructive behaviors of these groups, belying their claims of being committed to progressive government by weakening, and even sometimes opposing, election of Democrats, but because they neglect Hispanic issues. (Of course.) But that's only one of many wrongs she should have cared about, and a person of good judgement and character would not have run with those dogs in the first place, or dissociated for better cause when they realized what they were.

[Demsrule86]

35. Wow just wow.

[Hortensis]

37. :) Thing is, Lucy Flores is and was a professional politician

who doesn't have the excuse of the many decent people who joined OR out of idealistic enthusiasm without realizing what they were joining or just how dysfunctional OR's leadership was.

Flores was a Democratic assemblywoman. She has to know that in the real world if your goal is universal healthcare, civil rights, feeding and housing the poor, or affordable/free college and technical school, you elect liberal Democrats, as many as possible until majorities are achieved. It is that simple.

[Demsrule86]

38. I agree. I was admiring your post. One of the best written posts I have

Ever seen.

[trueblue2007]

40. Is she credible ..... interesting tweet and photo

Seems comfortable for #LucyFlores to grab @BillClinton by the neck. @JoeBiden has no reason to apologize to this reported former gang member who spent time in juvenile detention for stealing a car.

:large

[Demsrule86]

34. She is still a surrogate and her story reeks.

[highplainsdem]

7. So she's an Our Revolution alum, like Nomiki Konst, who was also on CNN lying about Biden

today, and repeating the long-debunked smear about Biden and Stephanie Carter, a smear that Flores resurrected to use against Biden.

Here's my reply about that in the thread about Carter's statement today:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=45737

As I said there, I'm disgusted by the smears and lies.

And what they're saying is so ridiculous, with Flores having said Biden was nuzzling Carter's neck, and Konst claiming idiotically that he was "sniffing her hair," when he was doing nothing of the sort.

Shameful.

And Konst looked so happy to be peddling this crap.

[sheshe2]

9. +++++

[Cha]

17. I bet Konst was happy to be

peddling hogwash.. I've seen some of her gaslighting tweets.

Here she is telling Hillary to "tread carefully".. Like Hillary needs any advice from nomiki konst.

10. Her attempts to create

pile-on on Biden are fucking nauseating.

[Cha]

18. She's too obvious.. she should

have taken it down about 20 notches.

[ucrdem]

11. Makes no difference whatsoevery.

The pics that exist contradict her tale.

[pnwmom]

12. No they don't. No one's released any pictures of her standing in the dark, just offstage,

waiting to give her speech.

[ucrdem]

13. Exactly.

But there are pics showing a) Bernie with his hand on Lucy's shoulder and b) Lucy with her hand on Biden's shoulder.

Both of which contradict her tale. Which really shouldn't be given credence here.

[pnwmom]

16. How do either of those pictures contradict her story?

Her photo with Bernie is totally irrelevant. And posing for a selfie with Biden means nothing either. She had asked him to come there to endorse her -- she wanted pictures of the two of them together.

Neither of those photos disprove her claim that, while she was waiting to step onstage, Biden suddenly came up behind her, gripped her shoulders, sniffed her hair and planted a big slow kiss on her head.

[UniteFightBack]

19. She said she was completely unfamiliar with him and that he violated her personal space and

that you don't touch someone you don't know. Yet she did the same thing to him. Get it now?

There is also pictures of him "sniffing" Eva Longoria's hair at that event too, PS he was TALKING to her - but people who want to smear.....i.e. right wingers and ahem some others like to take these snapshots in time out of context.

Win at all costs eh?

[True Blue American]

23. Joe isn't hugging Flores there! Is that why she is unhappy?

[Agschmid]

31. Look at the "side boob" photo again...

Check where the material on the top stretches it’s above where Joe’s hand is located.

Yeah not ideal placement, but I would argue against “side boob” contact there.

The only person who could really confirm it would be the person who was touched, not me, not you.

[UniteFightBack]

32. Missed my point. But as you can see Flores is standing SO CLOSE HER BOOB IS TOUCHING him.

Enough of your right wing talking points.

[Cha]

26. Flores didn't look unfamiliar or uncomforable with Joe Biden..

41. Enough with your Biden bashing...every fucking opportunity you get. ENOUGH. nt

[sheshe2]

14. They didn't.

2014 and no pictures of her standing in the dark, just off stage.

[Demsrule86]

36. Yes it does. unless one chooses to believe it.

15. Flores tried to Smear Hillary in 2017..

24. Zombie Smears

Even after the smears have been utterly debunked they get trotted out to defame ‘establishment democrats’ (read Democrats) at opportune times calculated to do the most damage to the party candidates. No doubt ‘Our Revolution’ have would have organised behind Bernie Sanders call to primary President Obama in 2012, and to hell with the Democratic Party.

[Cha]

25. Yes, "Zombie Smears"..

good way to describe them.

Some of them seemed so surprised when the BLUEWAVE happened with all kinds of Dems turning red seats to BLUEWAVE seats.

That's why we have the House Victory now and a chance to hold the fascists from taking over everything. No thanks to the pettiness of those hurling "estalblishment" accusations.. like it's a dirty word. The BlueWave Revolution was in spite of them.

The secret to the blue wave that won the House for Democrats

Editor's Note: Congressman Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, is from New Mexico. He was appointed to the House Democratic Leadership as a Chief Deputy Whip in 2013, served as chair of the the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2016 cycle and was elected by his colleagues to serve again as DCCC chair in the 2018 midterms. He is running unopposed for the position of assistant Democratic leader in the upcoming Congress. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own; view more opinion at CNN.

As Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, I spent a significant amount of time this cycle traveling throughout the country making a personal case to supporters about our candidates. I know firsthand how Democrats achieved our historic victory, and what it will take to build on this success heading into 2020.

Throughout my time on the road, there was one constant: Nancy Pelosi. She was strong, passionate and persuasive. She always showed up, always took the time, always made the case better than anyone else about how consequential these midterms were.

She did all this while balancing an ideologically diverse Democratic caucus and the dangers posed by an erratic, impulsive President who constantly sought to distract from the personal conversation that Democrats were having with voters. But with laser focus and a "Just Win, Baby" mentality, Nancy Pelosi's achievements this year are historic

29. Beautiful Truth..

Too many didn't want reality.. they wanted lies and fantasy fed to them by faux, fb, the USmedia, and those 3rd party Liars like David Sirota, susan sarand0n, jill stein, BG.. Russia and their Bots.


Mahalo, crazytown

[democratisphere]

30. To set the record straight; inappropriate according to you.

Flores continues to embellish and juice up her story with each new interview. This person is not credible.

[katmondoo]

33. If I were a candidate I would would keep her as far away as possible from me

I would also stay far away from her, not knowing what she would say about me. She will not be working in any campaign this time around. Who would take the chance.

[peggysue2]

42. Agreed!

She's proven herself to be a toxic element. And this is what happens when you weaponize a gender-related movement. The MeToo movement has an important message, giving voice to women who have been silenced in the past. These sort of ridiculous smears coat tailing that message simply undermine the importance of the original impetus. Which was genuine, long overdue

Sabotage is not a pretty thing to watch. In fact, it's disgusting.
