Efforts to portray California governor candidate Larry Elder as a domestic abuser have failed. In fact, the whole thing is nothing-but as we all know, when a right-leaning candidate looks likely to beat a Democrat in a high-profile campaign, you can always count on abusing women Allegations.
this Los Angeles Times The report stated that prosecutors “refused to initiate criminal proceedings against Larry Elder, accusing him of gun-wielding and domestic abuse, in a 6-year-old case related to the statement of his former fiancée.”
According to a spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office, the Los Angeles authorities did not file a lawsuit because the statute of limitations for such misdemeanor cases is one year.
Elder’s former fiancee, Alexandra Datig, recently claimed that he had abused her and stated that he was brandishing a gun during an argument before breaking up in 2015. She knew it when she reported it to the police last week.
From the times:
Datig said she was told that the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office would not continue the investigation because time has passed. Neither office made a ruling on the substance of her allegations, but stated that their findings would become meaningless because the alleged incident occurred six years or more ago.
In a previous interview, Datig argued that during an argument in 2015, Elder checked whether his revolver was loaded. She also claimed that the candidate pushed her during the “drug-induced anger” in 2014 and claimed that he was a regular marijuana user. In a written statement, Datig said:
In our conversation, he was very angry and showed hostility towards me in the form of silent contempt. He continued to open the drawer and reached for his 0.45 caliber revolver. To make sure that the gun was in my field of vision, he opened the cylindrical rotating part of the revolver and checked to make sure that the gun contained a cartridge. He closed the cylinder again, made sure the gun was in my view, and then continued to put the gun back in the drawer.
Datig also claimed that Elder forced her to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding their relationship.
Elder defended himself in a statement against the allegations. KTTV, He said:
I have never waved a gun at anyone. I grew up in South Central; I know exactly how destructive this behavior is. It’s not me, anyone who knows me knows it’s not me.
These are all dirty accusations. It is precisely because of this kind of personal destruction politics that people have not entered public life.
I will not honor this by responding-it is under me. Although my opponents and the Newsom campaign want to distract voters, I will continue to focus on the issue that inspired 1.7 million Californians to petition for this recall.
So far, there is no evidence that Elder is the abuser, and no other women have come forward to make similar accusations. We can be sure that the Democrats have sought other women to make similar charges, just as they did against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Most importantly, the abuser usually doesn’t just show it once or twice—they establish a pattern. If Elder was the kind of person Datig accused him of, then it wouldn’t be difficult to find someone else to come forward. But this hasn’t happened yet, so far.
Nevertheless, regardless of the authenticity of Datig’s allegations, what happened here seems clear. Polls Shows that Governor Gavin Newsom is in danger of losing his job because Recall electionAmong those seeking to replace him, Elder is the front runner.
It is very likely that if Newsom is recalled, the radio host will become governor, at least until next year he will be re-elected. Datig’s allegations appear to be a desperate attempt to prevent this from happening-but it is doubtful whether efforts to discredit Elder will have any real impact on the September removal vote. .
