(12,343 posts)Its not that simplistic. Your assumption is that a given organization can continually put forth multiple women to falsely accuse a Democrat, one after the other.
First, that belittles the significance of coming forth as a victim of sexual misconduct. That is no easy admission. I am a victim of child molestation and admitting that in public is not easy or without its own costs, both emotionally and physically.
Even if false or contrived, the insinuation that they can keep doing this is both impractical and illogical as to attempt such a false attack twice, much less three or more times is a significant operation. No secret is that well kept. No conspiracy that well organized.
We can get past this and still be successful. As we saw in the off-year elections a month ago: there are intelligent, committed and well-spoken people out there willing to step up and serve their their community and their country.
This may be the end of one tale but the beginning of so many more.
