In an interview with WCVB-TV&#8217;s <em>On the Record<\/em>, Rollins\u00a0took Walsh to task for his handling of domestic abuse allegations against his choice for Boston police commissioner, Dennis White.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a bad situation overall, because either he knew about it and he&#8217;s lying, or he didn&#8217;t know about it and you&#8217;re a terrible manager, right?&#8221; Rollins said.\u00a0 &#8220;Aside from mayor, is there anything bigger than the commissioner of the Boston Police Department? And there was no vetting process with this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rollins&#8217;s outspoken criticism of Walsh presents a thorny conflict for the Biden administration as the president faces the prospect of adding her to his administration and navigating the contentions against Walsh.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh suspended White following the reporting of the allegations by the <em>Boston<\/em> <em>Globe<\/em>. Although Walsh claims to know nothing of the allegations, police officer Willie Gross has sworn in an affidavit that Walsh did know of the accusations from White&#8217;s ex-wife.\u00a0Rollins said she is more inclined to believe Gross.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m saying one signed an affidavit and one said it didn&#8217;t happen. I don&#8217;t care who you like and who you dislike,&#8221; she said, arguing that Gross&#8217;s willingness to sign an affidavit &#8220;trumps&#8221; White&#8217;s claims of ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>Rollins, a liberal firebrand, has been involved in scandals of her own. Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey (D.) investigated her for a road range incident but ultimately not bring charges against her. Rollins in January <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/road-rage-incident-could-undermine-radical-prosecutors-promotion-to-u-s-attorney\/\">threatened<\/a> reporters who asked her about the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats have joined in on looking into Walsh&#8217;s handling of the allegations. &#8220;There are a number of questions that everybody wants to know about this whole situation,&#8221; Rep. Seth\u00a0Moulton (D., Mass.) told the <em>Boston<\/em> <em>Globe<\/em>. &#8220;If it turns out Secretary Walsh is lying, he should resign as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic lawyer accused Labor Secretary Marty Walsh of either lying or gross incompetence during his time as Boston&#8217;s mayor.
