Is there an implied understanding between Rats that aligations of sexual abuse can be used against Republicans? Or is it something they talk openly about with each other?
“...is it something they talk openly about with each other?”
There has been some uncharacteristic honesty about the Left’s double-standard for this sort of issue. It’s all about abortion. I think it might have been Gloria Steinem who said during the Monica Lewinsky scandal that she would happily perform the same act on Bill Clinton to thank him for keeping abortion legal.
Abortion is all that really matters to these people. That’s what Gillibrand was alluding to with her remarks about how Joe Biden had supported women for years. The fear that Kavanaugh might threaten Roe v Wade was what made him guilty of sexual assault. The ridiculousness of the charges and the complete lack of corroboration were irrelevant.
