• Massachusetts Democrat Party Allegedly Helped College Democrats Falsely

    The Massachusetts state Democratic Party claimed it couldn’t comment on
    vague sexual misconduct allegations against congressional candidate and
    Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse.

    But as The Intercept reported, the state party was working behind the
    scenes to launch the allegations against Morse, according to sources
    who spoke to the outlet, as well as messages and call records.

    “The documents show that the Massachusetts Democratic Party’s executive director Veronica Martinez and chair Gus Bickford connected the
    students with attorneys: among them was the powerful state party figure
    and attorney Jim Roosevelt, who worked with the college group on a
    letter alleging Morse behaved inappropriately,” the outlet reported.

    As The Daily Wire previously reported, Morse was accused of having
    sexual contact with students at the University of Massachusetts-
    Amherst, where he teaches political science. The only problem is that
    Morse has not been accused of sexual harassment or assault, and UMass-
    Amherst policy merely forbids relationships between faculty and
    students they actually teach, advise, or supervise. Morse has not been
    accused of carrying on a relationship inappropriate under university
    policy.

    The College Democrats claimed Morse would use their events to meet
    students and contact them on social media, though Morse said he only
    reached out to a student once following that event. In that incident,
    Morse and the student had previously connected on the dating app
    Tinder, but never met in person. That student shared screenshots of his conversation with Morse, which showed no inappropriate discussions.

    The student who orchestrated the attack on Morse had told numerous
    other students that he expected to get an internship with incumbent
    Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA).

    On August 13, Politico reported that Massachusetts Democratic Party
    chair Bickford had called for an investigation into “the conduct of
    College Democrats who leveled the allegations against Morse.”

    But it appears the state party helped orchestrate the dubious
    allegations against Morse.

    The Intercept reported that the party’s executive director, Martinez, repeatedly reached out to the College Democrats since at least late
    July and took “an active role in directing the group on the strategy
    behind the letter before and after its release, including coaching on
    how to interact with the press.”

    Also on August 13, the College Democrats apologized to Morse, claiming
    they wrote the letter “on the advice of legal counsel.”

    This week, the Intercept revealed that not only did Martinez coordinate
    with the students, she also told them to delete records of her
    conversations with them. Martinez was accused of verbally telling
    students to delete the records, but the Intercept obtained call records
    that “line up with the timing, and other statements from Martinez on
    the timeline and her involvement have also been proven wrong by
    documents reviewed by The Intercept.”

    Martinez denies telling the students to destroy communications. Those communications were not properly deleted, as the Intercept used them as evidence for their multiple stories on the Morse situation.
