Are you saying none of these women who claim sexual abuse at the hands of these men are telling the truth? Every Democratic male is being set up, and we're all willing dupes to these cases of sexual abuse?

Hey, if you want to go there, good luck. I'm old enough to know what evil lurks in the hearts of even the most innocent acting man. We're not all assholes, but we're certainly not all saints, either. Are there false allegations against some men? Of course there are, and most times it's for reason of politics or revenge. But to discount everything these women say is ridiculous. I know you're disappointed. So am I. But a wholesale dismissal of these women's claims goes well beyond the pale of reason and decency.
