I think it's important to reveal the existence of someone posing to be something they're not in order to influence public opinion. That behavior is even more manipulative than calling them out as liars. I totally accept that people who used to be Dems are fed up, just like people who used to be Republicans are fed up. But lets not pretend that the walkaway movement didn't originate with and get propogated by Russian bots trying create chaos. |
Very balanced speech, although I feel he believes the accusers. |
What i don’t get with people who think this way (“words”, I.e. testimony is not “real evidence”). Soooo - then have an investigation to get your real evidence. Only having a hearing means only having testimony. Not that hard to understand. |
That is fine. But the rest of the US does have doubts. There should be a FBI investigation. No supreme court justice should have these accusations out there and still go to vote. He is not owed a vote. He is not owed the position. |
Imagine if social media existed back then... wow. We'd have a lot more evidence now. I'm afraid for our next generation who have documented every single action and behavior at parties and elsewhere. |
With an allegation of enabling gang rape? I believe a lot of Republican women will stay home. We'll see. |
Some are saying that Swetnick graduated from HS in 1980. What was she doing at these HS parties 2 or 3 years later? If that is true, something is fishy. |
+1. This is not at al hard for me to believe. When I was a freshman I was at a party where my elementary school babysitter showed up. She sure was surprised to see me. There was not bright line between publics and privates. It's not like it was the greasers and the socs a la The Outsiders. |
Guy Benson’s tweet. I totally agree:
Guy Benson ? Verified account @guypbenson Following Following @guypbenson More Lots of bipartisan, warranted skepticism & caution about the ‘gang rape ring’ accusation. If it’s true, there should be tons of corroborating accounts, numerous victims & assailants, & ppl should go to prison. If it’s not, it’s the most despicable political smear I can recall. |
Thank you. I'm a conservative woman who WAS sexually molested, so I know bad things can happen. Vague guilt-by-associationnonsense is a great way to put this into perspective. If this was going on, I don't understand why this girl would continue to go back into the horror again and again. And not tell anyone. |
No, moron, it’s not “OK.” It’s a different scenario that raises different and more messy issues of consent and complicity. And it’s particularly a silly issue when the allegations are basically that there were guys at these parties and Kavanaugh, you know, was around somewhere and may have like given some girl a drink and his friend Mark Judge is an alcoholic and an idiot. |
Right because women would totally make up these horrific stories and put their families through death threats and jeopardize their careers for a chance to sully some low-T Chevy Chase judge?!?!? |
It is going to be soooooo hard to be a predator and get away with it. |
You're afraid for them? Oh boo hoo, the bad boys who are spiking the punch might have to answer for their behavior? |
