San Diego mayor Bob Filner is a *** harassment scandal
has thickened for more women have come forward to accuse them up some
operative pensive and pretty ridiculous acts or a show you some other videos
love the victims testifying here's the first in 2005
I'm Bob Filner asked me to meet him for lunch and I don't understand it was
just a lunch at that time and I did not accept his offer that time
in 2010 I attend an event down in National City
and where he pulled me away from some people that I was talking to
and and addressed me and asked me why did I not accept is
invitation to lunch back in 2005 at that time he said I was beautiful
and that he wanted to date me at this time but the owner is going through his
reelection process
in 2012 I attended another event
at this time Bob Filner was running for mayor and
this so that was at the convention center this town country Convention
Center
and he came up to me
after the that was over I was talking with friends and came up and gave me a
hug
and the touch me actually grope me on my backside inappropriately
the soon as he came in he left and
I was left there startled and fearful in fact I actually had some I want me to my
car that night
yeah so just to give really fast even idea like the balls on Bob Filner like
he they're the people that were initially the videos I've include a
retired Navy Rear Admiral a dean at San Diego State University
and the woman they just saw their the head of the city's ports Tenants
Association
and he's treating is like powerful established women like the clinton-era
interns or something yet what actually I thought the dead
at least was a silver lining in his very dark cloud over
Filner homeless and I'll tell you why because I was like look at least he is
not
kicking down it's not like he's not finding the most powerless person in San
Diego
and recipes I don't know I'm gonna go to the top in okay I'll root
you're retired and maybe rear admiral
yeah I'm coming for your rear anyway I
yeah books baby's lucky you put a headlock yeah so
now at filler a whole lot was what is former communications director
and yeah addition to asking her not to wear pay in the store usually when cases
like this come up people question the credibility of the women are the
legitimacy of the claims based on
you know who they are what they do people think well
maybe she do it for the money big right rightfully
and it's so unfair to the people who are already powerless
the your assumed guilty cuz you don't have money and has you must want money
yeah but in this case with all these women they're incredibly well
established there had
they're not looking for anything here a you didn't pin these four
you know well-heeled establish women in here to make up
i think is the most ru allegations I've never say never in my life
one initially he came out that video basically saying that his
actions were inappropriate and he apologizes he didn't
respect women to the fullest extent he's already admitted to
some love this but now in the media keeps pressing him on it I he
denies a lot of what the women are saying now and he says that he's waiting
for due process using to go to trial
so there's a hunger yeah I looked like a long hug a self-described hugs upscale
hunger in a headlock better click Subscribe tucker no one has ever
described another person is auger
all hunters are self-described I look at what we're along with the second %uh
victim
was get tough film Bob Filner office congressional office
and I was there for a meeting on to talk about %uh veterans program
I was only woman in the room I we had our meeting I
I was there with two gentlemen and Bob had a staffer in the office
as we were leaving the office I all the guys left
I was the last one in the room and Bob step between me and the doorway
any stop me you got very close to me and he ran his finger up my cheek like this
any whisper to me give a man in your life I jumped back I was very very
startled
and I said yes I have a man in my life he said who and I said lyndon blue he
says oh you mean if the Blues Brothers
cases maybe we can all get together sometime and have lunch and he can
support me for mayor
I was really rattled I went out in the car dot card in with my the two guys I
was working but I told him never to leave me in a room alone with Bob Filner
again what a lot higher I
yeah so I now that's the official policy in San Diego
you can take the mayor out unless you recall or he steps down
or he's been convicted of a federal felony okay so
now now those things have happened although there are some recall
petitions out there so a the new rule is
literally Bob Filner cannot be in a room or
alone with any woman and he must be accompanied by another film agreed not
to be alone with women on City business
as delegated authority the intern chief operating officer
you gotta resigned today you the mayor of San Diego California and you've
agreed
not to be in a room with the woman right because you're gonna run your finger up
her cheek
like I'd like you get yet you can't conduct City business
when they're gonna be there about half the time you know
I don't know what's creepier you know exam picturing myself but you know and I
you know I want to ask you to like some guy or girl could grab my ***
or runs a finger on my cheek
I feel like my chic wings a little creepier I
I think you would think that however you know
I have that infamous story I've where someone grabbed my
my *** as I was a power walking in a park and
if someone told me that I would feel enraged before it happened i'd like no
way it's just you but it's not that the video
but you feel so violated for not inviting that
and its unexpected and it comes from the last person you'd wanna from
it's just the most violated feeling you can ever imagine I mean there were tears
streaming down my eyes
when the guy came back for more you know what I did to him cell
yeah and so this is the more nightmare I don't know you know
Oshie possess sheepish you to power as Duke I was power walking he was on his
bike
%uh so he slapped my butt as he like road right back by me
and then he started laughing and then he went around to do it again when he came
right by making them off his bike and started kicking in his ribs
only once I school next woman
a apparently this like when McCormick said the Fillmore
headlock I thought she was just saying it as a way like
he put me in a helm it turns out there is something is the famous
Filner headlock he's done it to several different women
and here's another one a talking about I've known Bob Filner for
a long time since he was in city council and a numeric
numerous occasions he's put me and what I
guess now is the famous headlock and I felt
fearful and even as well as I knew him
because it it was an invasion into myspace
and he would come in and try and kiss me on the lips and i'd have to
squirmed to get away and just as recently as a few months ago this
happened
and I turned and and he
just slobber down my chan and I was so violated my was so f
offended yes some
you know again unwanted a woman or man slobbering down my
cheek in June moon and that's really interesting about stories that come out
like this
is these women experienced it for such a long time
and no one had said anything until now and I think that that's
up you know indicative of what you see with most of these assault cases women
feel scared to come out especially if it's again someone of power
so that's why I was able to do it for as long as he could everyone's afraid to
come out and say something there's probably some conversations with each
other
you know and I'll but again you know he raise a 10-time congressman
you're worried about strike back and he's the first democratic mayor san
diego in quite a while it's okay it's a fairly it's a pretty conservative party
country special the state
like the democrats do not need this sort of guy going into a re-election battle
like
it it's already hard enough in that area put up a a legitimate democrats a-league
agree at the same time I see a lot of comparisons
%uh Filner an Anthony *** and that really rubs me the wrong way and I'm not
trying to say that what Anthony *** did was right
%uh but what this guy was doing was *** harassment here
what we heard a it was sexting text messaging whatever and out as far as I'm
concerned I don't think that the women didn't want it
I mean did anyone say like I told him no stop sending me these pictures the
continued
that seem like they were solicited there's a hot there's a line ever
barbara boxer to that effect exactly what you sayin she waitin
thirst she a she saying these are not the result when she said it was
disrespectful to women
filler and *** and I objected yesterday to that I thought
that's because that mitigates someone is what film did like *** harassment
is serious is a serious thing *** does not deserve to be we're was
incredibly disrespectful as John and I were talking or
to one woman yeah his wife right that he was not but it's not the same and policy
mid
netbook with a lamentable as he gets the one she says that like
she gives an out for men to be like all geez that's not *** Rai was just
an enemies list came out and said that it's not part of the war on women that
you're completing these two very different things and some glad that they
are they were willing to come out
in and say that yeah I just be little the severity of what soldiers do it over
yeah
and it below sea and boxer both put them in the same category which is a ride
and he did mention in his first a
apology you alluded to Anna that he needs help
and I don't know if he does this because I've alcohol all
or whatever other demons is gonna miss head but I was amazed that that that the
number of times isn't open
and I think you absolutely nailed it it's because nobody's come forward for
all these years so he got taught the lesson
over and over again if you're powerful many you see a congressman now is the
mayor
right your powerful man you can go and put people in the figure 4 headlock
all day long and nobody's ever gonna complain you probably got off on even if
they didn't
you know even if they didn't a agree to his advances and probably some people at
some point agree to his advances
and so just encourage them to do it over and over again
and so you look you have to turn these people then but and as we've seen the
military you see nine campuses
it's hard because usually this sells returns around it says wall
we don't believe you and that's a you know an established
figure et cetera in this case though
it is overwhelmingly obvious
thriller ben is right had to leave ok media player
