Gillibrand Kept Aide Despite Multiple Claims of Sexual Misconduct
Despite her #MeToo rhetoric, the Senator took no action when her office had a genuine #MeToo situation.

A U.S. Senator and 2020 presidential hopeful kept an aide on her staff despite multiple accusations of sexual harassment, according to several Monday report.
“The military adviser to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a 2020 presidential candidate who has been an outspoken supporter of the #MeToo movement and a campaigner against sexual misconduct in the military, kept his job despite allegations he sexually harassed a junior female aide,” according to Washington Examiner.
The female aide and alleged victim of the misconduct resigned in protest over the way Gillibrand handled her complaints. She is described as mid-20’s, married and apparently Gillibrand officiated her wedding.
The military advisor, who has now been terminated, is Abbas Malik. He was only fired after media inquiries into his alleged misconduct.

“The woman has accused Gillibrand of hypocrisy in protecting a powerful male staff member and abandoning a junior female staffer — a sharp contrast with her political rhetoric on sexual misconduct,” according to the report.
Malik allegedly made “a string of unwelcome advances” and sexually explicit remarks. He reportedly said that the young female aide “couldn’t get laid unless she was raped.”
Despite the aides reports, Malik kept his job.
Gillibrand released a statement to The Examiner:
“These are challenges that affect all of our nation’s workplaces, including mine, and the question is whether or not they are taken seriously.
As I have long said, when allegations are made in the workplace, we must believe women so that serious investigations can actually take place, we can learn the facts, and there can be appropriate accountability. That’s exactly what happened at every step of this case last year. I told her that we loved her at the time and the same is true today.”
The accuser wrote a letter to Gillibrand, which was subsequently published in Politico:
“I have offered my resignation because of how poorly the investigation and post-investigation was handled.
I trusted and leaned on this statement that you made: ‘You need to draw a line in the sand and say none of it is O.K. None of it is acceptable.’ Your office chose to go against your public belief that women shouldn’t accept sexual harassment in any form and portrayed my experience as a misinterpretation instead of what it actually was: harassment and ultimately, intimidation.”
Rotten Tomatoes: Super-Woke ‘Captain Marvel’ Trashed by Audience, Praised by Critics
By Justin Caruso
Film review site Rotten Tomatoes shows that only 36 percent of the audience liked Captain Marvel, compared to 81 percent of the professional critic class who liked it.
Rotten Tomatoes displays two scores for Captain Marvel–one aggregated from reviews of movies critics in different publications, and another from general user ratings.
The list of approved critics handed the new film a high 81 percent mark, but average viewers were less impressed, clocking in at only 36 percent liking the movie.
The film has already faced some controversy on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie-reviewing site shut down audience reviews until the film actually came out, citing their concern that trolls would rig the numbers.
Captain Marvel features the first female-led Marvel superhero, and the film is full of social justice themes.
Star Brie Larson claims her acting in the movie is her “activism” and declared the movie to be about “intersectional feminism.” Larson also kicked off promotion by complaining about movie critics being “overwhelmingly white male .”
Already, Hollywood and the media is circling the wagons around the movie. The Daily Beast accused critics of the movie of being “men’s rights activists and incels,” while a critic for the Wrap openly lauded the film for “evoking a riot grrrl-adjacent feeling.”
Not all professional critics were impressed, however. The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mediocre review, and an Indiewire review summed up the film, saying, “Neither a blast from the past, nor an inspiring glimpse into the future, at the end of the day it’s just another Marvel movie.”
“And not a particularly good one, at that.”
‘We were way too aggressive’: Twitter CEO admits conservatives were targeted
Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey addressed claims his social media platform had targeted conservatives, admitted they had likely acted too swiftly in banning some right-wing users, and failed to explain their reasons.
In conversation with podcast host Joe Rogan, Dorsey and his chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde fielded questions and criticisms regarding widespread accusations of the company catering to liberal viewpoints.
“Probably our team having a lack of context into actually what’s happening” Dorsey explained. “We would fully admit we probably were way too aggressive when we first saw this as well, and made mistakes.”
The controversy surrounding the social media giant came after conservatives and those expressing conservative viewpoints complained their accounts had been suspended for ideological reasons. Columbia University researcher Richard Hanania recently published an analysis showing that, of the 22 public figures banned by Twitter in the last few years, 21 were Trump supporters.
Conspiracy theory talk show host and Trump supporter Alex Jones (who, ironically, was on Rogan’s show just a few days ago) had his account suspended last year, alongside other figures like right wing activist Laura Loomer and GOP congressional candidate Jesse Kelly. In Kelly’s case, the company failed to explain the ban, even after Kelly’s account was later reinstated.

“A lot of where we have failed is explaining the ‘why’ behind our policy and reasons,” Dorsey admitted, promising to look into alleged excesses.
As a case example of the kind of bias in question, Rogan and his fellow guest journalist Tim Pool brought up the company’s policy against “misgenderding,” a term for referring to or addressing Transgender people as something other than the gender they identify with. Canadian Feminist Megan Murphy was recent booted from Twitter over accusations she had “misgendered” her opponent in a debate.
Gadde explained that the rule in question was only enforced if a specific person is repeatedly targeted in a way that could be considered harassment. Tim Pool was unconvinced.
“You’re biased, and you’re targeting specific individuals because your rules support this perspective,” he argued, suggesting that the rule itself reflected a liberal viewpoint.
“You have essentially created a protected class,” Rogan chimed in, highlighting how the company’s claims to political neutrality are undermined by the one-sided way it has enforced its policy against “targeted harassment.”
Anti-SJWs Launch “Alita Challenge” To Boycott Man-Hating Captain Marvel
By Tyler Durden
The backlash against Captain Marvel has reached a boiling point ahead of Friday’s premiere, after star Brie Larson slammed the number of white male movie critics reviewing her films – while others have taken issue with the feminist marketing campaign behind Marvel’s “big feminist movie.”
The ensuing flood of complaints against both Larson and Marvel Studios resulted in a 28% drop in box office projections, while popular movie review site Rotten Tomatoes made site-wide changes, removing their “Want To See” feature from the website.
Larson’s “Social Justice Warrior” (SJW) supporters have branded the backlash as a classic case of misogyny; men who simply can’t stand a strong female lead in a superhero movie – however this analysis falls short in light of the overwhelming popularity of hollywood productions such as the Resident Evil, Alien and Kick Ass franchises, not to mention the Hunger Games, the Fifth Element – and of course, badass heroine Sarah Connor from the Terminator series.
Enter the “Alita Challenge”
Combating the SJWs is a new social media campaign created by comic fans who just want to watch an agenda-free action movie. Dubbed the “Alita Challenge” and operating under the hashtag #AlitaChallenge, moviegoers are encouraged to ditch Friday’s premiere of Captain Marvel and instead see Alita: Battle Angel – an adaptation of the popular Japanese cyberpunk manga series which features a female lead, yet doesn’t include a “girl-power” agenda or feminist marketing. What’s more, while Alita star Rosa Salazar is no fan of President Trump, she hasn’t denounced 30% of the US population.
In describing the Alita Challenge, OANN‘s Jack Posobiec explains that Disney, which owns Marvel, has been cramming “SJW bullcrap” down people’s throats – noting they “did it to Star Wars,” and the Avengers – and now they’re doing it with Captain Marvel.
“We’re going to stop giving money to people who hate us,” says Posobiec, who wants movie studios to leave their politics at the door.
The #AlitaChallenge isn’t the first challenge to the toxic femininity surrounding Captain Marvel – as conservative actor James Woods tweeted on Sunday: “When you have a choice, pick a movie where the studio doesn’t hate half its audience…”
Many have also noted that Rotten Tomatoes professional critics have widely panned Alita despite an incredibly high audience score, while giving Captain Marvel rave reviews.
Perhaps it should also be noted that the Hollywood Reporter said Captain Marvel is “Mundane” and “marked by unimaginative plotting, cut-rate villains, a bland visual style and a lack of elan in every department.”
Of course, the Hollywood Reporter‘s Todd McCarthy is a white male… and may not be looking for a “her-o”
Trailers for both movies can be seen below. Of note, Alita‘s has 129,000 thumbs up vs. 5,700 thumbs down, while Captain Marvel has 1 million thumbs up vs. 93,000 thumbs down.
