Candace Owens: Democrats aren’t the party of women -- they’re the party of exploiting them for [tr]

The despicable treatment now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh received at his Senate confirmation hearing proves conclusively that the Democratic Party is not the party of women – it is the party of exploiting women for political gain.

In their eagerness to pander to women by saying absolutely anything that might win their votes, Democrats were even willing to throw out the centuries-old concept that is the foundation of our legal system: the presumption that we are all innocent until proven guilty.

Democrats insisted that women accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct should automatically be believed with absolutely zero evidence to back up their claims.

Kavanaugh “bears the burden of disproving these allegations,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., who as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee really ought to know better.

OK, so will Coons pledge right now to immediately resign from the Senate if a woman he may never have even met comes forward and says–without any corroborating evidence or witnesses–that he sexually assaulted her decades ago?

“There is no presumption of innocence…” insisted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

That’s a truly scary statement that sounds like it could have been made at the Salem witch trials in the 1690s, when absurd accusations of witchcraft–primarily made by teenage girls–resulted in the conviction and hanging of 14 women and five men, plus the deaths of five people in jail.

The statement of “no presumption of innocence” could also apply to the anti-communist crusade waged by Sen. Joe McCarthy, R-Wis., in the 1950s, when he accused hundreds of federal employees of being communists without evidence.

And, of course, dictatorial regimes have a long history of imprisoning and killing their enemies in nations where there is no presumption of innocence.

compare Candace with Kimberle Crenshaw. BBC’s Sackur usually interrupts people in a hostile manner, particulary if they are pro-Trump or just conservative, but Kimberle is allowed to go ON AND ON AND ON.

VIDEO: 1:23: 12 Oct: BBC Hardtalk: Stephen Sackur: ‘The politics of patriarchy in the US’
Men and women in the US are treated differently when it comes to allegations of sexual harassment and assault, the lawyer and civil rights campaigner Prof Kimberle Crenshaw has said.
Reflecting on the recent US hearing ahead of the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and the allegations made by Dr Christine Blasey Ford, which Judge Kavanaugh denied, Prof Crenshaw told BBC Hardtalk the “politics of patriarchy” are at play and men are allowed to show their anger in a way that women are not.
“One of the things that could be the silver lining from what happened in the hearings, it’s fairly clear that men have a different range of expressive possibility without being penalised for it,” Prof Crenshaw said.
It is not about individuals versus groups - it is a matter of the way society shapes how different groups of people are interpreted, she explained.
It is about who has the ability to get angry and still be taken seriously and who does not have the same luxury, she added.

YOUTUBE 24:18: BBC HARDtalk 15/10/2018 Kimberle Crenshaw
Posted on 14 Oct by The Donald
The United States of America is a republic divided. The Trump presidency has exposed fissures that run along lines of race, gender, education, and culture. In next month’s mid-term elections the fight for political power will be between the two traditional parties - Republican and Democrat, but perhaps a different sort of activism is needed to deliver real change? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Kimberle Crenshaw - a professor of law, a social activist and influential advocate of the idea of intersectionality. Is it the group, not the individual that matters most in today’s America?
