You know how you're always desperate for attention?
You got it now, homey. https://t.co/wkob3ohj1j

Oh, he’s got it, all right:
.@JaneMayerNYer @RonanFarrow with a bombshell story: four women accuse NY AG Eric Schneiderman of physical abuse. Devastating, excruciating read. https://t.co/clZkItsn0M

Another woman, a former federal prosecutor, says that Schneiderman made an advance toward her; when she rebuffed him, he slapped her across the face with such force that it left a mark that lingered the next day. She has asked to remain unidentified. https://t.co/JQtWo4h3no

There’s no way around it: It looks bad. Really bad.
The @AGSchneiderman response: "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross.” https://t.co/dlnMNt9UXN

Yikes. This is going to get a lot uglier before it’s all over.
That didn't take long: we have a new candidate for worst Democrat in statewide office, and it's a figure beloved by the #Resistance https://t.co/lmxILoU0Kp
