Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor who has called for making California employers more accountable for hiring undocumented workers, faced allegations today that she herself had done so for nearly a decade – a charge that her campaign denied as an attack by Democrats playing “the politics of personal destruction,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
LOL! Meg is done.
The video above is astonishing. Whitman told her housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz Santillan, who she fired when she found out she was undocumented, that “you don’t know me.”
Neither do any of us Meg! No one knows what a monster you are, but it is coming out. First a former Meg employee told the press, a few months ago, about how Meg assaulted her at work. And now this.
The housekeeper “tearfully alleged that she was fired in June 2009 when she came to Whitman for help in obtaining her green card. Whitman, she said, was planning her run for governor at the time, and fired her longtime employee a few days later.”
Whitman just opened a campaign office in Santa Ana. Well, folks are going to see this video on Spanish language news today, all day and night long. The real Meg is now emerging…
Love it!!
I can’t wait to see how CHip and Matt spin this one.
I guess the good thing for Meg HITman is that it diverts attention from her horrible performance last night.
What a liar
Who to believe – a woman who admits she lacks papers and is thus undocumented and makes these statements on the arm of Gloria Alred the day following the first gubernatoral debate, or a wanna-be politician who says this woman presented documents and swore under oath she was here legally? Crocodile tears and a pity party don’t cut it, but some truth might be nice. Wonder if we can hope for some truth? Perhaps it is too much to hope for—-
If I had to choose who the liar was between a Mexican maid and Whitman, I’d always choose Whitman. Remember, she said she couldn’t find time to vote because she was too busy with the kids, when apparently she was handing them off to the hired help. Whitman could say today (the 30th) was Thursday and I wouldn’t believe her.
Meg Whitman is one of the RICHEST people in California.
Here husband is a doctor.
How is it they allow a servant “who was unknown to us” to care for her kids and domestic duties with out a proper background check?
Her campaign application is six pages long and asks about “embarrassing situations”. So how pray tell, did she not know this woman was illegal?
She is either lying or stupid, or both.
Gimme a break. For $23/hour it was obviously an Agency hire (including their markup) and they’re at fault if the beaner maid is illegal. And it’s starting to sound like she was stealing Meg’s mail.
$23 an hour to work 15 hours a week, which she made her work more hours than she paid her for, minor details.
I support Jerry Brown and I can’t stand Whitman, but I’m worried this one will backfire. Regardless of what the truth is the timing of the announcement will inspire cynics and anytime Allred latches on to something credibility suffers. I bet Allreds favorably numbers are worse than congress.
Hmmm… false flag operation? Perhaps! A very clever scheme from Camp Meg to get her sympathy, the Senorita is actually still in her pay, and Allred’s a dupe.
Let’s go with that.
Meg hires Latino’s?
And pays twice to going rate?
And then fires the employee when it is learned that she lied on her employment paper work?
And that is wrong? all three of those questions.
cook,
That she fired her says all we need to know about her. Meg didn’t even try to help her. Heartless.
Lets not say that Whitman is “heartless”, that will just give the Republicans base a reason to vote for her.
Ha! ba-da-BING!
Then again, she can’t win in California with JUST the Republican base, now can she?
Hi People!!!!. Let me ask a question? WHO COMMIT THE CRIME IN THIS ISSUE?????????.
Should Nicandria been prosecuted for federal crime like stilling somebody’s else identity,Being in this country or somewhere else without the proper documentation(immigration papers) is a federal crime ,should Nicandria obey the LAW or should she (nicandria) be above the LAW?.
I hope the person whos identitity was stolen for this Nicandria have the monetary support from people the is lobbying for Nicandria. I hope no one of you NEVER in your life have to deal witjh all the probelms the Identity tihief bring it.
I hope someone here understand what legal or illegal means. Looking foward to read your answers.
Rosary.
Once again they try to shift the debate and blame the candidate rather than the worker who broke the law.
You are completely right; but the fact is that she will not be prosecuted because she is illegal she is a presious minority (Minorites seem to be the governement pets). This countries Government have become the enemy of the people, not their friend!
Ice already said they will not charge her with any crimes! REALLY?
I can’t believe people actually fall for this crock of shit. HAHA, so sad.
