    Some of that is just hypocrisy. Imagine you are someone who was groped/raped by one of these high profile figures and you have kept your mouth shut fir years thinking no one would believe you - THEN they declare they are joining the “family values” party that likes to pretend that they are all for fidelity and Christian values whilst defending and even lauding a man found to have sexually assaulted a woman

    Imagine you're falsely accused of sexual assault.

    Exactly! When stuff came out about Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose I didnt hear any liberals claiming it’s because they were going to take down the right wing establishment.

    Y’all claim conspiracy for every bad thing that comes out about someone you like or think we don’t like. Even election results!

    Terrible, and it happens. And believe all women was stupid. Take all women seriously and judge each claim on its merits. Visits to a rape crisis center and text messages where he seems to acknowledge what happened, are hard to ignore.

    That doesn't answer the question.

    Again, who said that? It's in quotes. It was posted as a direct quote. Who said it?

    Imagine you’re assaulted and called a liar for coming forward.

    Please point out one post from any one of our more fervent members who has said of the right “They did the wrong thing and should be punished”

    some examples of “They can’t be guilty they are right wing”

    “Jan 6 was Antifa/Feds/just a tourist visit/ lizard people”
    “Jan 6 rioters (who weren’t rioting) are being treated unfairly and should be all pardoned”
    “Ken Paxton is innocent!”
    “Roy Moore never did anything wrong”
    “E Jean Carrol lied and the jury was rigged and the judge was biased besides it was political!”

    E Jean Carrol got death threats and in fact there have been so many death threats to witnesses against certain people that a new branch of the fbi has had to be created to deal with them

    So, you fabricated that quote and falsely attributed it to Right wingers on the forum. Right?

    She sure seemed to vanish after the election huh? If she had proof of visits to a rape crisis center and text messages, I’d be inclined to believe her too. She had nothing. Even Carroll was willing to go in front of a jury with her claims.

    That often happens when people receive death threats.


    Tara Reade, who drew headlines during the 2020 presidential race by accusing then-candidate Biden of sexually harassing and assaulting her, said she decided to go to Russia after receiving threats in the US.
    ....................
    Reade said she decided to come to Russia following death threats she received this year after she reiterated her accusations regarding Biden and announced on Twitter that she was willing “to testify under oath in Congress if asked.”

    Is there a conviction?

    Or is this just more Court of Public Opinion BS that now seems to be standardized in certain circles?

    She provided the underwear that she had on that day, and it was put in a freezer, but there's no guarantee that they can extract DNA.

    You’re against people having opinions? Do you only believe things that were proven in a court of law?

    What ever happened to survivors must be believed, or do you only believe things proven n a court of law?

    It is a very convenient excuse for bad behaviour. Now one complaint - yes it could be as the actor Craig Charles (Dave Lister from Red Dwarf) found out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Charles but when it is multiple women then it has more credibility. There is also a workplace history of harassment apparently
