You need to post the clip if you’re going to make accusations like that.

The clip hasn't posted yet but yes this did happen in committee today. The clip should be posted in a day or so.

Please post it, I’m very interested in seeing it as he is my rep.

Sorry, I won’t have the clip ready to go until the entire hearing is archived.
But I’ll be sure to have the screencast app ready to go next time just in case another GOP rep decides out of the blue to accuse another rep who’s presenting a bill of being a pedophile. Until then though there’s an entire room filled with witnesses to the embarrassment that is the RI GOP.

Then wait till you have the video to make the post.
At this point, you’re just spreading hearsay. Be better than that.

Or ya know the poster can talk about it as it's happening in real time and follow up with a video later, like they said they would. It's not their fault Capitol TV posts are delayed. I also was watching the hearing and heard it all happen too. Start watching Capitol TV more often and you'll see just the kind of nonsense things your rep says.

If I had the time I would, but sadly I’m working and in meetings most days.

Just because you don’t believe that it happened doesn’t mean that there isn’t literally an entire room of people who witnessed it happen in real time.
I posted here because it was an outrageous and unprofessional abuse of power from an elected official, and felt that as many people need to know about it as possible.

I never said I don’t believe it, but I do like to have proof with a claim as abhorrent as you’re making.

🤦 Talking about something you witnessed is not hearsay.

Lol, just a typical conservative using words that they don’t fully understand. They do seem to have a firm grasp on pedophillia though, it honestly feels like projection at this point.
CthulhuAlmighty t1_jcp9xlr wrote
OP may have witnessed it, but provides no evidence. They are spreading it to others, which will then be hearsay.
Dinosquid t1_jcpdk9l wrote
Lol no, that is not hearsay. 😂
CocaineSlippers t1_jcqluyo wrote
Without the video evidence being provided, how could it be substantiated? It would be hearsay.
Dinosquid t1_jcqol9w wrote
No! Wrong!
First of all, look around; This isn’t a court case. Y’all can fuck off with hearsay all together. I heard from a guy I know whose wife told him you fuck dogs. That’s hearsay and I can still say it whenever I feel like.
In court:
“I saw her say X” is admissible testimony.
“My friend said she said X” is hearsay, which is not admissible evidence in court.

Excuse me while I spread this, then.

Please do, he was being an asshole. But he didn’t accuse her of being a pedophile as you stated in your post.

>"Oh, I didn't mean to. Are you a pedophile? I'm sorry," Quattrocchi, a Scituate Republican, asked Kislak, a Providence Democrat.
The article doesn't convey the timing of that quote as well. There was a long pause between "Are you a pedophile?" and "I'm sorry." Long enough to put a pretty significant emphasis on the accusation. Enough to get a rise out of the entire room.
Regardless, I got a feeling that even if I did have a clip of the moment for you, you would still find a way to misconstrue the obvious reality of the situation.

I like to have some sort of proof before taking a strangers word on a serious accusation like this.
You seem to think I’m defending this rep, I’m not. Hell, I didn’t even vote for him (and he was on my ballot). But before I break out pitchforks and torches (hyperbole, but making phone calls and visiting offices isn’t off the table), I like to hear/see it from a reputable source.
While I think he was being a douchebag, it doesn’t read from the article as bad as you initially made it sound. Although, you might be right, the video might make it worse.
whatsaphoto OP t1_jczd3ta wrote
Surely you'll call this hearsay too, since it doesn't include a clip. Hope it's sufficient enough for you, though.
CthulhuAlmighty t1_jczhwcf wrote
Thank you for posting something to it.
While he was throughly being a dick, he didn’t accuse her of being a pedophile as you stated in your post.
