How The Right Weaponizes Accusations To Destroy People And Institutions
I was listening to Sam Seder and Digby on the Majority Report talking about the various political sexual harassment cases in the news last week. Sam talked about the fear the GOP will weaponize them. Of course they will, they have in the past.
I expect more allegations of misconduct on the left to pop up. Not because there are numerically more, but because the right will actively seek out cases on the left to push to balance out their own woman-grabbing elephant in the room.
When I started this piece on Thanksgiving weekend 2017, I anticipated cases of false allegations coming from the right.
On Monday I read the story of a woman who manufactured an allegation against Roy Moore and tried to get the Washington Post to run with it. The woman worked for James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. (I was right again, but since I didn't publish Sunday I don't expect a cookie from Karoli this time.)
