National Organization for Women also called for Keith Ellison to drop out of AG race

I read here that NOW (National Organization for Women) is calling for Justin Fairfax to resign due to an allegation of rape..
The organization also demanded that Keith Ellison drop out of the AG race that he later won.
The accuser in that case said she had video, but later said it was deleted by a hacker.
Their standard for guilt seems very low.

Too much of this is suspect. Suppressed/repressed memories- how convenient. We really are like villages. Someone starts a rumor/makes an accusation and we all fall into the guilty trap. Wait for verifiable proof.
