Journalists push back after Trump tweets lives being destroyed by 'mere allegation'
The Hill ^ | February 10, 2018 | Josh Delk

Journalists pushed back against President Trump's tweet Saturday saying people's lives are being destroyed by "a mere allegation," a comment that sparked backlash on social media.

Trump decried how people's "lives are being shattered and destroyed be a mere allegation" after two White House aides abruptly resigned this week following claims of past domestic abuse.

While Trump did not mention any specific allegations, he wrote: "Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused - life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?"

I assume they are smart ladies and immediately called 911 and filed complaints? Why not?

Lives destroyed by mere allegations? Like Roy Moore?

Has anyone seen the video that Scott Baio did about accusations leveled at him by some tart named Nicole Eggert? Pretty obvious to me that he’s telling the truth:

He is absolutely correct. His great sin, what makes him utter poison to our system, is that Trump speaks the truth about our structural deceits and hypocrisies.

I can’t get past the black eye. And this info came out during the routine FBI background checks. The ex-wives didn’t go on The View. And Porter had told Kelly what would be discovered. That’s why he never got his security clearance.

Can we stick to the subject here? Should the president be defending Rob Porter?


The subject is due process.

Should we use allegation and accusation to destroy people’s lives without due process?

We Should Care About What Happened to Carter Page
The former Trump aide’s reputation has been ruined — not by a conviction, not by any charges, but by a warrant that was supposed to be secret.

So domestic abuse is a lie and women shouldn’t be believed, even if they have a black eye?

Have you ever known a woman who was hit by a man she was married to or in a relationship with?

“.............Commie liberals who only love America when liberals control it”

Even then I don’t think they love it, because they are still trying to destroy everything that’s good about it.

As a man who took office by swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution, he should be defending due process, and is doing so. So should every other elected official in Washington, and they aren't.

When I said this same thing (What Trump tweeted) just a week ago on FR I was flamed to a crisp.

I was told that courts don’t work, and they are just liberal agenda machines designed to rule from the bench.

Here is the truth though : The truth lies between those two sentiments. As a conservative we need to follow the rule of established law. At the same time, we are trusting a broken car to drive us across the country. No one seems to be winning until a major overhaul is accomplished.

Of course they feel attacked. It’s their main occupation, making allegations.
