Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

'He repeated the rape accusations against Yusef Salaam, a member of the exonerated Central Park Five who is now a New York City councilman, calling him a “disgusting pig” who had gotten away with “gang rape.”'

Putting on my communications cap, here's a thread about the @bostonglobe coverage of #junotdiaz. First thing you need to understand is why PR firms aim to place stories in newspapers in the first place. Most people think it’s to influence public opinion. Not true.

For the women who are afraid to come forward: I will stand with you. So will @monicabyrne13 and many others. I know it's scary but the love and support I've gotten far outweighs any ridiculousness spewed by random Twitter trolls. It's worth taking the chance. #JunotDiaz

The @latimes picks up the story, which brings it closer to home. #JunotDiaz www.latimes.com/books/la-et-jc-junot-dia...

Hey, I was quoted in today’s @BostonGlobe article on #JunotDiaz and I have a few things to say about his response. At no point does he deny any part of our meeting. He doesn't deny that he reached out to me on a dating site. (cont)

"In Scholarly Debates on #MeToo Survivor Support Should Take Precedence" https://buff.ly/2IHXbmw #JunotDiaz

Which brings me to #MeToo, #JunotDiaz and why I wrote my essay for The Rumpus. It’s too hard for women to speak up solo after being abused. Even if they aren’t in physical danger, the pain of being disbelieved, insulted, and pressured to shut up is intolerable. (cont)

For the women who signed the @chronicle open letter in support of #JunotDiaz: "For women, knowledge of abusive men — obtained via gossip or whisper networks — isn’t frivolous or titillating. It is a means of survival." #MeToo @annehelen...

From my piece for @The_Rumpus. Being a victim doesn’t make it ok to prey on others. #MeToo #JunotDiaz

My piece for The Rumpus. Dedicated to the women who have already come forward, those who are thinking of speaking out, and those who will never reveal what Junot did to them. therumpus.net/2018/05/enough-on-junot-... #JunotDiaz

Just from a public relations and legal point of view it is so incredibly dumb, esp. since they admitted in their statement that they spoke only to him when they made their decision. I'm pissed as both a woman and a communications professional, heh. #pulitzerprize #JunotDiaz
