I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.
It was by design.
The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times “could not corroborate” my story despite talking to two of my friends.
I gave them the contact information for five friends.
They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.
They simply did not call the other three.
I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.
I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked.
I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.
As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim.
My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive—long before he ran for Senate.
Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman.
Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well.
But tell me again how they “could not corroborate.”
For all the parents out there dealing with a decision... let me give you another perspective
In 2018 my wife and I went in for our 20? week ultra sound at Beth Israel in Boston... the rep was very quiet the whole time, something seemed off. My wife & I were first time parents... didn't have much context. The doctor pulled us into her office and told us our sons nuchal fold was abnormally large... she went on to say there is a significant increased chance of Down Syndrome and even Turner's syndrome... talked about options to terminate the pregnancy. My wife was inconsolable, rightly so ... even thinking about it now brings back a lot of heavy emotions because of how hard of a day it was... hard...
I did a lot of research on the topic ... my wife & I prayed non stop about it. All we could do. The doctors wanted to do an amniocentesis which has its own host of risks..run more tests...
We came to the conclusion, which was not easy... it didn't matter... no amnio, no more tests.... I felt in my soul the Lord's plan was perfect and if our son was going to have Down Syndrome we would love him and shepherd him through this world the best we could. We get what we get. Anything from the Lord was a BLESSING and I was not going to point my finger at Him
Fast forward to today... our son is going to be 8 in the fall. He is perfect. Just hit a homerun the other day... a much better baseball player than I was at his age. My best friend
I share this deeply personal story for nothing more than to give just ONE parent hope... the Lord's plan is perfect... stay the course
Absolutely the most diabolical, heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a very long time.
Iron Will is asleep right now. So I’m going to kiss his beautiful little forehead and quietly promise him - yet again - that I will fight to my last breath for him and every person with Down syndrome from the moment of conception forward.
That I will never relent in pushing back against the utterly depraved mentality that dehumanizes him and deems him as less, as unworthy of life.
And then I will pray. For the little baby lost, for this broken, broken world and for redemption.
Join me.

This man was willing to put in all the work and money it takes to keep a dog with no kidneys alive indefinitely, but he murdered his baby for having Downs Syndrome.
I can't believe somebody m*rdered their unborn baby because it might have Down Syndrome.
Then they thought it would be a good idea to post it on X for sympathy.
Un freaking real.
Demonic.
@McJuggerNuggets You killed your unborn baby because of T21 but are choosing to keep a dog with no kidneys alive?
Your priorities and actions are reprehensible. The blood of your child will cry out from the ground to the Most High God of the universe for justice.
Apparently Google decided “showing current reality” might not be ideal for reelection optics of LA mayor? So now Google Maps is serving pre fire images for parts of LA us and our neighbors live.
I am officially calling for the arrest, prosecution and jailing of Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson.
Under Tennessee law verbally threatening a state police officer is a serious CRIMINAL offense and interfering in the officers duties is also CRIMINAL.
Rep. Justin Pearson is doing BOTH in this despicable video.
These offenses carry heavy fines and jail time.
Tennessee Code: Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer § 39-13-116:
When the assault (including verbal threats causing fear) is committed against an officer performing their duties
Penalties:
11 months and 29 days in jail fines up to $2,500 with a mandatory minimum of 60 days in jail and a $10,000 fine, plus possible 1–6 years in prison.
No one is above the law. LOCK HIM UP
