2020 presidential hopeful Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. is a top Democratic contender for the race for the White House. While she could always use a few headline grabbers to grow her support… she probably didn’t quite want it like this.
Court documents officially show that her father, Doug Rutnik, once worked for a sex cult. Rutnik lobbied for the infamous Albany, New York group, Nxivm, according to Big League Politics.
Some ranking members of the group are currently being charged with a massive amount of bombshell crimes, such as sex trafficking, money laundering and kidnapping. Gillibrand’s father Doug was on the payroll for the group at $25,000 a month.
He was later fired and then sued by the group, but Nxivm ended up having to pay him $100,000 — you can view the court documents here.
In a tell all with Big League Politics, Nxivm publicist Frank Parlato claimed that even Kirsten Gillibrand’s stepmother was a put into the cult — so it’s safe to assume she may have known about this.
Gillibrand has denied knowing the cult ever existed.
Another source linking Gillibrand with the group came from a witness, John Tighe, who said he met Gillibrand at a fundraiser for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Tighe claimed that Gillibrand sat at front row tables that were bought out by Nxivm, and that Gillibrand sat with Nancy Salzman — who was later plead guilty to racketeering conspiracy. Nancy’s daughter, Lauren Salzman, even testified in court that she enslaved a woman once.
“I knowingly and intentionally harbored Jane Doe 4, a woman whose identity is known to me, in a room in the home in the Northern District of New York,” she said.
Yikes.
Salzman reportedly threatened to deport the woman back to Mexico if the unnamed woman did not give into her demands.
Nancy Salzman, along with co-founder Keith Raniere, founded the alleged cult in the 1990s, most notably alongside “Smallville” actress Allison Mack and Seagram liquor-heiress Clare Bronfman.
Last month prosecutors told disturbing details about the group, including women being forced into the cult to have sex with Raniere, and being starved and branded with hot irons.
“There are women on the record who are now adults who have accused Raniere of statutory rape and there are some very suspicious incidents where Mexican girls came under the perimeters of Raniere’s control and left under suspicious circumstances,” Parlato said. “They came from Chihuahua Mexico. I reported this to the authorities.”
Who knows where this big bombshell of information will lead.
It’s clear that Gillibrand has some ties to the sex slave ring — distant as they may be. New York politics is a cesspool of big money.
But more importantly, if anything serious comes of this, the self-proclaimed champion of the #MeToo movement will be labelled a fraud by other liberals.
