NAACP supports Carlos Henriquez IN WRITING! is it a national story yet?

For weeks I’ve pushed the story of Car­los Hen­riquez as a national story.

I pointed out his arrest in July 2012 when he was charged with kid­nap­ping and assault­ing a woman at the height of the War on Women meme in the national & Eliz­a­beth War­ren campaign…

…the national media was not interested.

I pointed out on the radio he was con­victed of the Assault charge in Jan­u­ary with the judge specif­i­cally warn­ing him that when a woman says no it means no,

…the national media yawned.

I linked to a story pointed out that he refused to resign and con­tin­ued to work out of his jail cell

…the national media was more inter­ested in Huck­abee say­ing “libido”

I pointed out he is son of San­dra Hen­riquez Assis­tant Sec­re­tary for Pub­lic and Indian Hous­ing for the Obama administration.

…the national media still con­sid­ered it a local story, noth­ing to do with the war on women.

Now that the Mass House is finally tak­ing steps to expel him from their body we find out via Red Mass Group the NAACP has sent a let­ter to the Mass House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives urg­ing them to keep him.

The NAACP, New Eng­land Area Con­fer­ence (NEAC), respect­fully requests that the Mass­a­chu­setts House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives abstain from vot­ing in the mat­ter of the expul­sion of Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Car­los Hen­riquez, expected to come before the House today. In the alter­na­tive, Mem­bers of the House are asked to vote against the expul­sion of their colleague.

Seri­ously, the NAACP, one of the old­est civil rights orga­ni­za­tions in the coun­try is going to bat for Car­los Hen­riquez? Why on earth would they do this?

There are two basis on which NEAC makes the request. Firstly, the mat­ter of expul­sion is pre­ma­ture since Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Henriquez’s case is under appeal. The House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives must respect the Mass­a­chu­setts judi­cial process and let Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Henriquez’s case before the Appeals Court pro­ceed, with­out jump­ing to judg­ment before the appel­late deci­sion is rendered.

Seri­ously? A con­vic­tion isn’t good enough, he has to lose the appeal as well. Cripes with a good set of lawyers to delay the process he could stay long enough to become speaker.

Sec­ondly, while NEAC respects the jury’s deci­sion, there is cur­rently no rule for expul­sion that applies to mis­de­meanor con­vic­tions. Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Hen­riquez was duly elected by the elec­torate and there is no legal basis upon which the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives can prop­erly act.

So there is no spe­cific rule for expelling a mem­ber of the Mass­a­chu­setts House if they assault a women who refuses them sex. That’s seri­ously the argu­ment the NAACP is making?

Let’s for­get for a moment how this sym­bol­izes the fall of the NAACP as a civil rights orga­ni­za­tion that this let­ter illus­trates and look at this sim­ply in terms of news.

I know I’m just a blog­ger & radio talk show host, but it seems to me that the NAACP actively work­ing to make sure a demo­c­rat con­victed of assault­ing a woman who refused him sex is some­thing that would not only be Imme­di­ately be rec­og­nized as News­wor­thy, but given the “War on Women” meme would ele­vate this to a national story.

It has been said that the cur­rent media are sim­ply Demo­c­rat oper­a­tives with bylines. If they choose to ignore this story that will be con­firmed with­out a doubt.

Oh and if you claim to be a fem­i­nist & aren’t out­raged by this, then you’re lying to yourself.
