I have interesting contribution to this thread, this is Jack Cocchiarella, who you may have seen ask Gavin Newsom about Hasan. Hasan has talked about having Newsom on more recently, and it seems like Jack was the guy who planted the idea in the Newsom team's head.
edit: adding background details here, he has a YouTube Channel with 1.5 million subs which seems to be his main political endeavor currently
He constantly brown noses Hasan on Twitter:
I could go on but I don't want to beat a dead horse, just search his account for the name "Hasan" and youll see what I mean. Jack also likes to portray himself as a hero for women alongside prominent congressmen, who are also presumably unaware of this story.
Shockingly (or not) Jack has a
dark past (
archive) that somehow made it past Newsom's screening.
Here's a portion of the article. I don't think there's any paywall but just in case you have issues, use the ghost archive link above.
NHJournal verified that Dartmouth College disciplined Cocchiarella for at least one instance of allegedly abusive behavior. NHJournal spoke to an alleged victim who provided documents about the incident, including a letter warning Cocchiarella that he could be suspended for violating the school’s Gender-based Misconduct Policy.
NHJournal has not reported the alleged victim’s name to protect her identity. She told NHJournal that Cocchiarella groped her on one occasion and attempted to touch her on several other occasions before she reported him to the school’s office.
She said Cocchiarella was friendly at first, but his behavior turned into stalking over a few weeks. His actions became progressively more inappropriate. She started to feel unsafe around Cocchiarella and decided to go to the Title IX office.
“What was scary is he said a lot of really misogynistic things,” she said.
The woman is still shocked by Cocchiarella’s persona as a feminist ally and progressive fighter, when in reality, she was scared of him.
“How does he have this platform as a feminist?” she said.
I did a bit more digging to get some more details on this. The NH Journal seems to be keeping their source anonymous, but other sourced reported on it if you google around. The Washington Free Beacon did
this piece (
archive) on it.
In a couple articles, this reddit post is hyperlinked.
Here's a link to it. Couldn't figure out how to archive a Reddit post that's rated 18+ so apologies for the lack of archive.
The screenshot of the Librex Post was quite long, although
this Imgur upload is linked to within the reddit post. Kind of a boomer when it comes to doing these archives and uploads. If I fucked anything up please let me know and I'll try to correct it.
I also found discussions linked in some articles about this on the Dartmouth subreddit.
Jack previously took legal action against someone making claims, although it seems like they were a third party claiming to have direct knowledge of the situation or something along those lines.
