The halo over the head of legendary United Farm Workers founder and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez, who died in 1993, has suddenly and irrevocably melted in the wake of a N.Y. Times expose about allegations that he had his way with young teenage girls in the ‘70s and was otherwise quite the ravaging hound with other women in his orbit.
The 3.18.26 Times story by Manny Fernandez and Sara Hurtes, well-sourced and thoroughly vetted top to bottom, topples the Chavez legend in one bold, swift stroke. Another liberal-humanist icon has been redefined as a groin-driven hound.
Chavez’s rep is even more tarnished now than Martin Luther King’s was when it came out that King plowed through a long list of white women in several motel room assignations. Chavez hasn’t been MLK’ed as much as Epsteined.
By comparison JFK seems a lot more civilized because at least he was sensible enough to steer clear of jail bait.
I hate to say this but in a roundabout way the Times story might lessen some of the heat around Donald Trump, who, according to recently released Epstein file reports, may have violated this or that young teenage girl.
If the Times Chavez story had been published a month ago, Trump might not have bombed Iran.
The bottom line is that powerful men, regardless of political philosophy or strategic alignment, have often had their way with younger women. Men are basically dogs, and political power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. I’m nonetheless shocked that Chavez went for girls who were way below the age of consent…Lolita territory.
