| Description | A California woman who accused congressional hopeful Gil Cisneros of sexual misconduct has reversed course after meeting with the Democrat.
Melissa Fazli, a Democratic activist and documentary filmmaker, previously alleged Cisneros propositioned her during a party convention earlier this year and said she interpreted another interaction as him wanting “to have sex with me in exchange” for a political donation.
But after a meeting was facilitated this weekend, Fazli is changing her tune.
“I misunderstood the conversations that I had with Gil Cisneros at the Democratic convention and after. I don’t believe that Gil sexually harassed me,” she said in a statement released by the Cisneros campaign Monday.
In his own statement, Cisneros said he decided to reach out to Fazli after “seeing the pain of Dr. Ford and so many women and the dismissiveness of both Judge Kavanaugh and Washington Republicans.” |
