Democrats responsible for the Cornell 7 mess

A column argued that Democrats are driving the political narrative around Cornell University’s 2024 Phi Chi fraternity rape allegations, citing court filings identifying the accuser as “Jane Doe.” The piece says Cornell convened a closed proceeding and that the district attorney failed to bring charges, while Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit last month describing a drug- and alcohol-fueled gathering that left her “shattered and degraded.” It claims the story has become “classic Democratic fodder,” pointing to Kathy Hochul appointing New York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor. Hochul is also considering an emergency legislative session targeting a “voluntary intoxication loophole.” The seven fraternity members deny the allegations.
