In a perfect world, nobody would be disparaged on the basis of mere accusations. That goes for those making them as well as those subject to the accusations. Obviously we don't live in a perfect world. But it is interesting to see that the most ardent defenders of women when it comes to the accuser are not much interested in defending women when they are the accused. At least in this case.
It's very likely that the people who are interested in defending Omar at the expense of the wife are Democrats. Which makes it interesting that Democrats are willing to doubt and disparage a woman who is claiming she has been done wrong by a cheating man. What factors go into deciding which women are to be believed? Is it because Omar is valuable and worthy of protection, while the wife clearly is not? Does it pay to be a member of a protected class in these situations? Why does Omar "trump" the wife for people who claim all women are to be believed?
Intersectionality. It's tricky.
It is possible to question the motives of the detractors of both women. How many of Omar's detractors are motivated by politics? Wouldn't a true supporter of women be equally supportive of her? I realize that there are posters like you who want to turn every thread into an attack on "liberals", but maybe take a break once in a while? If you are such a believer that women never lie, there are over 20 women making accusations against Trump. Do you support them as much as you support Dr. Mynett?
I don't think either woman should be attacked. But apparently that means that I am protecting Omar. Why don't you accuse me of protecting Dr. Mynett?
Conservatives don't hang their hat on "I Believe Her" (even when it doesn't add up) the way liberals do, therefore, there is more onus on liberals to live up to that self-identified ideal. Anyone being honest would admit feeling that burden.

I doubt it.
Tim already has, so your predictive powers are not that strong.
Time will tell. If they become a hot item, I'm sure many will question when this romance began.
And he was pressured? Lol
Poor man
"But Mynett, 38, claims his wife, 55, pressured him into getting married in 2012 after the birth of their son William in 2006 and said the unhappy marriage broke down because of their different parenting styles."

Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett says her cheating spouse, Tim Mynett, told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative and that he even made a “shocking declaration of love” for the Minnesota congresswoman before he ditched his wife, alleges the filing, submitted in DC Superior Court on Tuesday.
The physician, 55, and her 38-year-old husband — who has worked for left-wing Democrats such as Omar and her Minnesota predecessor, Keith Ellison — have a 13-year-old son together.
“The parties physically separated on or about April 7, 2019, when Defendant told Plaintiff that he was romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar,” the court papers say.

Huh what?
Physician Beth Jordan Mynett has zero reason to lie.
She has a very big reason to lie. And her profession has nothing to do with her dysfunctional marriage.
What exactly are you talking about? She has no history of dishonestly.
Her big reason is her marriage is ending and she is motivated to “win” assets, custody, sympathy, etc.
Adultery has no bearing on custody or distribution of assets.
Quite frankly, with their age difference, no one's sympathy will be on her side. People will say she knew what she was getting into.
Regardless, a bitter soon-to-be-ex-wife has plenty of reasons to lie.
Hard to believe she is lying...but, if she is lying, that is an awful big risk to take, considering she swore under penalty of perjury in her divorce filing.

Well, if both of the accused deny an affair, then that settles that!!![]()
I think the wife he left found a convenient excuse in Omar for her divorce. She is an old hag who tricked him into marrying her and now she has been dumped for a new woman.
This is standard stuff in the relationships forum.
"tricked him?!" how dumb is he?
To be fair he was pretty young when he fathered the kid and rightly did not marry her immediately. It was a last chance kid for her and an "oh my god, I am too young for this" kid for him.
Are you joking? He was 25. How utterly ridiculous and offensive to imply he didn't know what he was doing in regards to sex and birth control and that some old minx "tricked" him into impregnating her.
She could have easily lied about taking BCP. Maybe she does have a history of lying/manipulation.
I'm confused. What is your reason for disparaging the wife's character? It would seem that you're attempting to provide cover for Omar at the expense of the wife by offering up stereotypical negative things that some women do. Are you for women? Or just for Ilhan Omar?
You mean, disparaging her in the same way others are trashing Omar for possibly having an affair. Why is it ok to disparage Omar but not the ex-wife?
Do you mean that it's okay to disparage any woman makes an accusation?
It is ok to disparage any woman who is accused?
