John Cornyn: “Cesar Chavez sexually assaulted a 13-year-old in his office…”

“I think it's entirely appropriate that the money that goes from this monument go to help fund future victims of sexual assault. One of Cesar Chavez sexually assaulted a 13-year-old in his office, which is where this site's located. This is literally a crime scene. He was 45 years old and a world famous political figure. But she was just a child. He used his home office to rape and molest her repeatedly.” (10:58–11:10)
