WaPo Columnist Who Wrote A Book About Brett Kavanaugh Now Says #BelieveAllWomen Is ‘Dumb’ Given Accusations Against Joe Biden
The Daily Wire ^ | 4/16/2020 | Emily Zanotti

Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, who wrote a book about sexual assault accusations made against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and defended Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in the pages of her newspaper, now says the “#BelieveAllWomen” and “#MeToo” movement are “dumb” — because a similar, but credible sexual assault allegation has been leveled against the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a shocking editorial for the Washington Post, Marcus lashes out not just at Biden’s alleged accuser, Tara Reade — who has now filed a criminal complaint against Biden and who has a record of contemporaneous claims made against the then-federal legislator — but at the anti-sexual assault movement altogether.

“Reflexive acceptance of any and all allegations of sexual misconduct against any man is not staunch feminism,” Marcus writes. “[I]t is dangerous credulity that risks doing terrible injustice to the accused. #BelieveAllWomen was a dumb hashtag and a dumber approach.”

Hypocrites

Always have been, look at Bill Clinton and how he was PROTECTED by the LEFTists like N.O.W. etc in the Lewinsky Affair that was a classic dominant male pushing on a dependent female. Much the same for Sen Ted Kennedy, 'The Liar of the Senate' (at least as far as sex was concerned!)

Contrast with many GOP elected officials who get hard hit by their sex shenanigans because they are not shielded by own party and attacked by their opposition. It is trite but still tends to be true; The Right has principals where the Left only sees expediency!

The communists have no morals, ethics, etc...NONE!
They may think they’re “immune” to everything, but I got some sad news for em: History has shone that they ain’t “immune” to ultra high-speed lead injections...although some of the nastier ghouls and vampire types my require covering the lead with silver. They also have an aversion to rope, lamp posts, tar, feathers etc. History has also proven its the only way to get rid of them.

There are no rules with the left and we better learn to fight it rather than gasp in horror.

It’s the classic Alinsky tactic of ‘making the enemy live up to their own set of rules’.

Democrats have no rules.

I don’t think Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones endorse ethical elasticity...

Ruth Marcus is a hyper-partisan Commie hag and daughter of Dracula who drinks the blood of decent people to sustain her horrid vendettas.
