MaPoli - Ricardo Arroyo
I bet @RicardoNArroyo realllllly wishes he didn’t say he was “never told that these investigations happened” at press conference this past week. #bospoli #mapoli https://t.co/jGD5oePQDX
Council Matters @CouncilMatters
Hear me out: HE LIED ON HIS BAR APPLICATION. Lying on the application makes you subject to suspension from the @MassBar. @RicardoNArroyo 👏🏻 NEEDS 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻BE 👏🏻DISBARRED👏🏻 #bospoli #mapoli
“I was never made aware of either of these allegations. I was not questioned by either Boston Public Schools or any law enforcement officials, or disciplined in any way in relation to these allegations or otherwise.” - @RicardoNArroyo #bospoli #mapoli
Does @RicardoNArroyo realize that this proves that he knew he was under investigation for sexual assault in ‘05? #bospoli #mapoli https://t.co/Co6UgTgSJQ
Ricardo Arroyo @RicardoNArroyo
“Suspect Ricardo Arroyo-Montano, 10/13/87, contacted victim (redacted) on multiple occasions - making threats and harassing phone calls from his cell and possibly home phone to her cell phone.” Gee whiz, I wonder why @RicardoNArroyo didn't release this file today 🤔🤥 #bospoli

Let’s talk about what REALLY happened today @ @BOSCityCouncil meeting. @CllrKendraLara brought a posse to cheer on @RicardoNArroyo. They were loud & talked shit throughout the whole meeting, especially while Frank Baker was speaking. Anytime we spoke, we were told to leave. 🧵
Pay attention: the same woman who assaulted Shawn tells Sgt. Cheevers that she was about to “punch the shit out of” me, minutes before she attacks Shawn in the hall.
The same woman who assaulted Shawn Nelson in the hall also came at me, but was blocked by an officer.
This woman claims Shawn & I “ain’t even from here”…ummm…we’re both from Dorchester & still reside in Dorchester…but go off 💁🏼♀️
Pay attention: the same woman who assaulted Shawn tells Sgt. Cheevers that she was about to “punch the shit out of” me, minutes before she attacks Shawn in the hall.
@WeThePeople_MA @BOSCityCouncil @CllrKendraLara @RicardoNArroyo Turns out this posse is a group calling themselves “Formerly Incarcerated Women For Ricardo Arroyo” - it all makes a lot more sense now. From their unhinged behavior in the chambers, to attacking Shawn like hyenas to start a brawl to stealing his phone! Great look @RicardoNArroyo
@WeThePeople_MA @BOSCityCouncil @CllrKendraLara @RicardoNArroyo After all the commotion they caused along with an arrest of a black man whose life / freedom / opinion must matter less so long as he doesn’t support @RicardoNArroyo, they got treated to a comfortable room which Arroyo headed to prob. to thank them in person. #arroyogate #mapoli
@RicardoNArroyo You / your @BOSCityCouncil friends invited ex-convicts to harass & intimidate fellow counselors & public at the hearing yesterday. They hit a black man starting a brawl w/ several of them attacking him & stealing his phone - he was arrested, while they comfortably cooled off
@notimefotracism @BOSCityCouncil @CllrKendraLara @RicardoNArroyo I don’t care about any allegations. You never heard me say anything about sexual assault. My issue is that he lied on his bar application & that is supposed to result in suspended license. With no license, he doesn’t qualify for DA.
Why isn’t @EdforBoston telling her to stop it? Hit that gavel. She’s swearing, banging the table, accusing people of being racially motivated? She’s pointing fingers. #bospoli #arroyogate
Tania Fernandes Anderson talking about the Constitution but she voted to have people arrested for holding signs in front of the Mayor’s house. 🤡🙄 #bospoli #arroyogate
Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson has no business on the @BOSCityCouncil. Her outburst at today’s meeting is appalling. She is unprofessional and racist. Watching her put on this extended performance piece is a new, disturbing low for Boston. #Fraud #bospoli
This is who Ricardo Arroyo is friends with & associates with! Can U hear us now @MeTooMVMT . There are Predators in #Boston & they are elected officials being protected by @ewarren @MayorWu @CllrKendraLara and many more #bospoli your elected officials ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION NOW
Michelle Efendi @EfendiMichelle
@Danny__McDonald Let’s not pretend this is just a “trio of women”—it’s the same small group of antivaxxers who banged pots & yelled outside my house for months. They continue to harass people, disrupt public meetings, & support Kevin Hayden.
@wutrain @Danny__McDonald Nothing that happened at city hall today has anything to do with Kevin Hayden. Funny you can tweet a picture of me but can’t reply to anything I say to you.
@wutrain @Danny__McDonald Your friend Arroyo & his sisters-in-disservice brought a whole brazen chorus in the audience👇 to disrupt & harass city councilors concerned abt Arroyo’s history & lies. They later attacked a man & stole his phone. Rapist, liars, racists & thieves - your dream team?! #ShameOnWu
@wutrain @Danny__McDonald Is @CllrKendraLara @Ruthzee @juliaforboston @RicardoNArroyo gonna help get stolen property back or should we file a report on this theft by Arroyo’s fans / friends?
Michelle Efendi @EfendiMichelle
@wutrain You failed to meet the moment. You’re not a leader. The entire city is talking about your silence and standing by your man, Ricardo Arroyo.
18 people/orgs still haven’t rescinded their endorsement of an accused rapist who lied about it on their Mass Board exam. #bospoli
We need answers: @Kim_Janey, @VoteRussell, @NikaElugardo, @DamaliVidot, @BTU66, @RealJusticePAC, @32BJSEIU, @Ward4Dems, @ConMijente, etc. Either say loudly you’re still w/him or say you’re not w/him. #bospoli #mapoli #arroyogate
Shana had a piece of paper that said #MeToo Believe All Ppl taped to front of her shirt. @BOSCityCouncil Pres. Flynn said “that woman needs to put her sign away”. Didn’t say who he was talking to/abt & didn’t ask 2 remove her from the meeting. She could’ve just put down the sign
Lisa Kashinsky @lisakashinsky
Did you like having fists slammed at you, today, @KenzieBok? How did it feel to be accused of racism & white supremacy? You were completely silent the entire City Council meeting. #bospoli #arroyogate
@WBUR Until these files are released & an exhaustive investigation is completed @RicardoNArroyo is not fit to oversee the City of Boston. His father Felix Arroyo Sr was & continues to be an influential political player in Boston when @RicardoNArroyo allegedly sexually assaulted 2 girls
Boston City Council President Ed Flynn has stripped Councilor Ricardo Arroyo of his leadership of two committees — and his position as council vice chair:
NEW: Boston City Councilor Kendra Lara, a progressive standing behind her endorsement of colleague Ricardo Arroyo's Suffolk Co. DA bid, is filing a subpoena of documents related Councilor Frank Baker's 1990s possession with intent to distribute case.
@SWINTERSMITH @universalhub Baker isn't running for DA. It's sex assault vs weed- no comparison. And innocent or guilty, Arroyo allegedly denied ANY knowledge of these allegations....then contacted one of the complaintants hours after speaking to the Globe. So now I can't vote for Arroyo or Kendra Lara.
@RepPressley Why haven’t you pulled your endorsement of Rapist Ricky Arroyo? Do you no longer believe women? Do you no longer support your “survivor tribe?”
Or have you just been full of 💩 from the start?
@RTCVBoston @NikaElugardo @Tanisha4MA @RicardoNArroyo This is disgraceful! @RicardoNArroyo at best has no ethical compass and lies to the public/the media OR he’s potentially a serial rapist & a liar on top. Rescind this endorsement or forever be known as supporters of rape culture.
“Arroyo told the Globe last week that he had ‘never sexually assaulted anyone’ and said repeatedly he was never ‘made aware of either of these allegations.’ A 2005 police report contradicts Arroyo’s claim that he never knew about either investigation.” #arroyogate #bospoli
@MayorWu will likely ignore this request or come up with an excuse why she “can’t” just like she did with the Pat Rose Sr child rape files initially. Prove us wrong @wutrain https://t.co/BLUpPtOFUE
All Politics is Local with Jon Fetherston @LocalPoliticsis
This is #RapeCulture
#Progressives in #BosPoli & #Mapoli have a misogyny problem.
Sexual assault of POC kids in @BostonSchools is rampant. The sex assault scandal engulfing Ricardo Arroyo is just the latest to make the news.
Stop propagating Rape Culture @MayorWu & @ewarren.
Jessamyn Jones @jessamynejones
Globe weighs in on Frank Baker’s master stroke; the fork stuck in Ricardo Arroyo’s toasted nails in the coffin of the lead balloon that is, well … it’s over.
#BosPoli #mapoli
@DarraghCMurphy @WutrainS License to practice law has to be suspended @MassBar until @RicardoNArroyo application is reviewed
BREAKING: Dorchester City Councilor Frank Baker files order demanding Mayor Wu release the @bostonpolice reports on the cops' alleged sexual assault investigations of DA candidate Ricardo Arroyo.
Excellent piece by Attorney Wendy Murphy @WMurphyLaw on how @MayorWu @wutrain is failing women & perpetuating the cycle of violence against women, by continuing to endorse accused sexual predator @RicardoNArroyo in his bid for District Attorney of Suffolk County.
very smart and straightforward rundown of this weeks events from @lisakashinsky -- there is so much more to this story #bospoli
We call for Ricardo Arroyo's immediate resignation as a Boston City Councilor and withdraw his bid for Suffolk County District Attorney. The citizens of Boston and Suffolk County deserve representation from someone who leads with unwavering moral and ethical integrity.
If @EdforBoston is rescinding endorsement, therefore admitting that whether or not allegations are true, the fact that he lied about the investigations is enough to say he’s a fraud & not fit for DA. So which @BOSCityCouncil member is going to call for his resignation?
Upon reading the media reports of these troubling allegations and conflicting information, I have decided to rescind my endorsement of Ricardo Arroyo for Suffolk County District Attorney.
In light of the incredibly disturbing allegations, our thoughts and prayers immediately go to the victims. Given what we now know, Ricardo Arroyo should immediately discontinue his campaign and resign from his seat on the Boston City Council.
NEW: Iron Workers Local 7 has rescinded its endorsement of @RicardoNArroyo for Suffolk DA in the wake of the Globe article and asked to have any references to the union removed from Arroyo’s campaign materials #bospoli #mapoli
At JP presser, Ricardo Arroyo says he has never assaulted anyone, says he is not dropping out of Suffolk DA’s race, is not resigning from the council. Two of his council colleagues here: Kendra Lara and Tania Fernandes Anderson. #bospoli #mapoli

My statement on the @BostonGlobe article:

"With great power comes even greater responsibility, and that weighs heavy on me every day."...
#Breaking: Former congressman Joe Kennedy III has rescinded his endorsement of Suffolk DA candidate Ricardo Arroyo. Kennedy is the first major endorser to do so in the wake of the Globe’s report about past sexual misconduct allegations against Arroyo.
Leading the pro-rapist brigade.
#Bospoli #mapoli #boston #celtics #redsox #partiots #bruins #Massachusetts
@BostonGlobe United States Senators @ewarren & @EdMarkey impeded the publication of this article by calling the @BostonGlobe editors to use their political influence to kill the story. Did @MayorWu call in to @ewarren to get that “help”? WHERE’S THAT STORY???
@wutrain @bostonbikeunion @MayorWu you going to retract your endorsement of alleged rapist @RicardoNArroyo ? You sure know how to pick ‘em! https://t.co/C9b9rpLldZ
Boston First Responders United (BFRU) @BostonFRU
@BostonGlobe So Liz Warren, Wu, and the other liberals who tried to bury this story were not successful. Once this story got out.. the globe had to publish it.. too bad the Globe hasn’t investigated the racism prevalent in Mayor Wu’s team.. disgraceful!
Suffolk DA candidate Ricardo Arroyo was twice investigated in possible sexual assaults. He says he was never informed.
Michelle likes to say “As a mom…” as a rhetorical appeal to heartstrings (manipulative!), but I wonder, “as a mom” Michelle, how does this bit from the Globe about Arroyo’s predation make you feel? AS A MOM, it make my skin crawl. And I didn’t endorse the creep. #bospoli
@wutrain defend your endorsement.. your silence is an attack on every sexual assault victim and survivor that you're mayor of..#bospoli #mapoli #MeToo
Jessamyn Jones @jessamynejones
@RicardoNArroyo is an accused RAPIST who lied on his @MassBar exam app.
Is it “progressive” to proudly endorse an accused rapist & liar for DA? 👀🤷♀️
Who is going to pull support first? Make a statement?
#NoArroyo #Bospoli #MeToo
@mfflaherty @EdforBoston @MayorWu @wutrain @EdforBoston @DARollins @AyannaPressley Who is gonna show real leadership and be the first public official to withdraw their support of serial predator @RicardoNArroyo 🤔 https://t.co/vFWOLmewN6
The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe
Another 🚨BREAKING: Suffolk County District Attorney candidate @RicardoNArroyo accused by two different female victims of rape in 2005 & 2007. Arroyo denies knowledge of accusations despite police reports detailing Ricardo speaking with BPD Detectives & hiring a lawyer!
@BostonFRU @RicardoNArroyo It really doesn't take long to realize @RicardoNArroyo lies as effortlessly as he breathes. He'll explicitly state to your face that he won't censor you at a Zoom hearing, only to mute & boot you from the Zoom meeting. When you challenge him on it, he just smiles & walks away
In legalese this would be called “witness intimidation”…. You should know that @RicardoNArroyo being that you’re an Attorney. 👇👇 https://t.co/pdxoyrztOP
Darragh Murphy @DarraghCMurphy
BREAKING: it has come to my attention that @BostonGlobe @GlobeMcGrory may have some damaging stories of @RicardoNArroyo sexual assaults. @SenMarkey @SenWarren @DARollins have been in touch with @Linda_Pizzuti and Globe editors trying to get it squashed. Does @joebattenfeld know?
@TonyFer34621431 @BostonGlobe @GlobeMcGrory @RicardoNArroyo @SenMarkey @SenWarren @DARollins @Linda_Pizzuti @joebattenfeld Not only is this corruption & abuse of office on behalf of @ewarren & @EdMarkey if true- but also violation of journalistic ethos. What happened to #MeToo & #BelieveWomen ? What about the alleged victims? This is DISGUSTING @BostonGlobe @jtuohey21 @AnicaButler @GlobeJenPeter
I agree @ewarren. Survivors need to heard! And despite multiple allegations that deserve investigations, @RicardoNArroyo’s supporters are silent. Enough is enough. I look forward to signing my name to your petition to demand Arroyo to withdraw and resign! #bospoli #mapoli
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
Tanisha Sullivan’s father Steve Sullivan, was the headmaster of the O’Bryant when Ricardo Arroyo was there and assaulting girls. Steve Sullivan was headmaster until 2013. Believe Women. @Tanisha4MA @MayorWu #arroyogate #bospoli #mapoli #believewomen
@RicardoNArroyo is an accused RAPIST who lied on his @MassBar exam app.

#NoArroyo #Bospoli #MeToo
@RicardoNArroyo you called us selfish for fighting for our kids! You went as far as to have us arrested. Meanwhile, you’re accused of RAPING your @BostonSchools classmates! Your hypocrisy knows no bounds! #bospoli https://t.co/aoXAOIktPV

18 year-old Ricardo Arroyo left high school his senior year. Why? He claims to take care of sick parent. The youngest of five children leaves school his senior year. Who does this? I’ll tell you why. He was in trouble. #bospoli #mapoli
Q for @MassBar: if a lawyer is caught lying about a major disciplinary event in his past, as well as about the nature & length of his legal experience in order to win votes in DA’s race, will he lose his license to practice law? @RicardoNArroyo will want to know! #bospoli #mapoli
Ricardo Arroyo will increase crime in Boston. don't vote for Arroyo.
#bospoli #mapoli #celtics #redsox #patriots
Ricardo Arroyo claims that he dropped out of school to take care of his mother. That claim does not pass the sniff test.
Ricardo Arroyo and the Globe are hiding........
#bospoli #mapoli #Boston
This is what happens when the DA refuses to prosecute Larceny under 250 dollars (like Arroyo is promising to do).
You have been forewarned Boston.

#RicardoArroyo is touting endorsements he & his fam have racked up thru years of backroom deals. But he forgot to include his #1! @BostonGlobe’s Bostonian of the Year, Monica Cannon-Grant (now under federal indictment for scamming the Suffolk County DA’s Office) #bospoli #mapoli
Arroyo is paying people to tweet against Hayden. There is no limit to how low he will sink.

@RicardoNArroyo @BostonGlobe @SCDAONews @RicardoNArroyo is NO one that should talking misconduct & unethical behavior! He Conspired with @MayorWu to created unconstitutional ordinance that restrict protest against WU home. When he was told that WU was abuse the ordinance with false arrest he had look of careless!
Thread 1/3
Is @marcela_elisa working for the Arroyo campaign? She made a big deal about Mijente endorsing Arroyo. In her Globe article she implied that Mijente was a large organization. Boy was she trying to pull the wool over everyones eyes!!
#Bospoli #Mapoli #boston #RedSox
@wutrain @MaryAnneRachal1 @RicardoNArroyo @Kim_Janey For the uninitiated, Arroyo is @MayorWu @wutrain’s @BOSCityCouncil lap pet who voted for the unconstitutional ordinance 16-63 Wu proposed & has ignored unlawful arrests of Wu’s protestors as the civil ordinance is “mishandled” by @bostonpolice. It’s called #CORRUPTION. #ShameOnWu
@KenzieBok @wutrain @MayorWu @lisakashinsky @jaylivingstone @Ruthzee @jessemermell @ewarren It’s funny that this is the story our city’s so-called “journalists” are focusing on.
Why no story about @MayorWu overtly contradicting the @ACLU_Mass by silencing her constituents on social media?
Or the @BOSCityCouncil, led by @RicardoNArroyo, disregarding the Constitution?
