A US Senate candidate accuses PM's spokesperson of sexual assault

[Ynet] Julia Salazar, a 27-year-old woman running for the New York State Senate, says she was sexually assaulted several years ago by David Keyes, who has been a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the past couple of years.

According to Salazar, she decided to speak about it publicly before her story is made public in an upcoming news article.

Keyes,34, said in response that "the false accusations were made by a person who has proven to be a liar in the past."

#3 During her time at Columbia, Salazar — now running as a progressive Democrat of Jewish faith who supports abortion rights and the people of Palestine — was a Christian right-to-life activist who supported Israel. While she had campaigned as a Colombian immigrant, she was born in the United States to an American mother and Colombian father. Her statements about a working class upbringing have also been called into question by statements from her brother and mother who said the family did not struggle financially.

In fact, the family owned a home next door to Mets legend Keith Hernandez — and Salazar was embroiled in a bizarre legal battle with the ballplayer and his ex-wife that included a claim of an affair, which Salazar has denied, and a libel lawsuit involving accusations of drug use, bank theft and pilfered Pottery Barn vouchers.

#5 "...and pilfered Pottery Barn vouchers." She sounds insane, but the vouchers thing is beyond surreal.

But then again, it is said that Sailors would poke a wood pile if there was a snake in it, so evaluate the above for what its worth.....

#9 My parents? All wet! But don't fret,
I've put that behind me. I'm set
To faithfully labor--
No, not for my neighbor,
But friends that I haven't yet met!
