NY Times: Sexual Abuse Is Totally Not Partisan Or Something

They’re totally not trying to find a way to convict Judge Brett Kavanaugh with zero actual evidence, just pointing stuff out, Keith Ellison was unavailable for comment

Sexual Abuse Isn’t Partisan
Yet the response usually is. Republican leaders can’t seem to take the problem seriously.

Republicans seem determined to brand themselves the party of sexual harassment and abuse.

This is not to pass judgment on whether the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when they were in high school, as she has said. That has yet to be investigated.

The FBI refused to investigate. For one thing, no federal crime has been committed. Second, they’ve done a background check on Kavanaugh six times for various federal positions. Third, this was 36 years ago, the accuser has kind of squishy on details, and it would be the local police who would investigate. They need details. And might decline because it was 36 years ago and she failed to say anything in all this time. And, is a complete Democrat partisan supporter.

But, yes, it is meant to pass judgement on Kavanaugh.

In July, when Representative Jim Jordan faced multiple accusations of having overlooked the sexual abuse of college wrestlers while he was an assistant coach at Ohio State University, Republican lawmakers rushed not merely to defend their colleague but to tear down his accusers. Mr. Trump’s by now predictable response: “I don’t believe them at all.”

And no one has been able to offer credible proof that Jordan overlooked the abuse. Many wrestlers came out in his defense.

Except that, if Dr. Blasey’s account is true, then Judge Kavanaugh is not “a really good man” because he would have been lying to Congress, the president and the American people.

Mr. Hatch isn’t the only Republican peddling a boys-will-be-boys defense. One anonymous lawyer “close to the White House” went so far as to warn of the dire repercussions of treating Dr. Blasey’s complaint seriously. “If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried,” he told Politico. “We can all be accused of something.”

How many have had their lives ruined, especially males in colleges, from accusations that were unsubstantiated and lacking proof beyond feelings? This, in fact, is the problem with the “all women should be believed” movement, which morphed into #MeToo when tons of Hollywood Democrats were caught out: it avoids Due Process. Sexual assault is a horrible crime. So are most crimes. That’s why they’re called “crimes.” Our system of justice relies on the notion of innocent till proven guilty, and evidence is required. Not just a person’s say so.

Anyhow, lots of Typical Whining from the Editorial Board which features a confirmed racist in Sarah Jeong at Republicans and Trump. What you’d expect.

And while the Senate Judiciary Committee has asked for Dr. Blasey and Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony on the accusations, it has not committed to hold full hearings, with witnesses, or to ask for an F.B.I. investigation, something Dr. Blasey on Tuesday insisted should occur before she appeared.

Remember, this isn’t partisan, guys and gals. Except for pushing the Talking Point about an FBI investigation, which is a complete canard and distraction. Or that Diane Feinstein sat on the letter since July, bringing it out at the 11th hour. And that the NYTEB, and all the Democrats, are strangely all on the same page about holding off till all the above happens. About finding Excuses to hold off, to attempt to run the clock out.

They don’t want this answered: they want to destroy a good man for their political purposes because they are Sore Losers.

Meanwhile, the Democrats sure don’t care about Keith Ellison and the accusations against him.
