    BREAKING: NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN RESIGNS. What an awful revelation. I am distraught that while I was championing his work he was literally beating women. I had no clue. Standing with his victims and with all victims. Goodness gracious.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/993668042923134976 …

    I'm angry & so hurt for these 4 victims. Like them, I am a progressive, & held New York AG Schneiderman in high esteem. I saw him as a progressive hero here in the state. That means nothing. That's dead. This is criminal. The evidence is overwhelming. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/four-women-accuse-new-yorks-attorney-general-of-physical-abuse …

        Thank you for speaking out and for all the work you have done to support this cause. I would ask that you please refrain from using the word “victim” when discussing the survivors or sexual harassment and assault. The change in word, grants more power to these individuals.

        Completely agree. The use of "his victims," snapped my neck back. Standing by women as they stand up for themselves is admirable. It's more helpful to address and refer to women as women.

        Shaun, you're not supposed to have a clue. (Alleged) serial abusers don't walk around advertising their behavior. I've worked in the domestic violence arena for over a decade and I can assure you, abusers are skilled in deception and the protection of their secrets.

        I mean, I tweeted on more than one occasion that I wanted him to run for president. Now I'm just sickened. None of us knew. Except the ones who did. It's a shitshow.

        Any woman can describe to you the betrayal of being hurt by supposed “woke” men. As any POC can describe to you the hurt suffered as a result of white “feminists”. Unfortunately respect for one cause does not equal respect for all causes

        Domestic abuse knows no political, social, educational or racial bounds. It's everywhere, as anyone dealing with it will tell you.

        We are all so disappointed. Thankfully he immediately resigned urged on by his party. Unlike the Rs who flout the law and continue to claw at power. And their sanctimonious and self righteous sycophants are gleefully gloating. They are truly despicable

        He was a hero to many of us. I'm overwhelmingly sad about this, but we have to rise above it and be better than this. He did the right thing by resigning. I stand with his accusers.

        As a woman, I have many questions. Before rushing to snap judgement...are we sure this is not a 50 shades of gray scenario? Maybe all parties consented. It is odd the women came forward after the relationships were over...

        1/2Interesting. Just believe... is NOT rational. I shouldn’t have questions? Look, we have all had different experiences in life. Having been in circles with powerful PEOPLE & those they date. (I have witnessed behaviors) quite often truth is reinvented to fit a narrative after.
