Kirsten Gillibrand: Don’t Blame The Victim Of A Rape That Never Happened

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has a history of calling people rapists without any proof. If she hears a rape accusation, she assumes it’s true. She skips niceties like “allegedly.” The way she sees it: If the accused isn’t guilty, why does he stand accused? Due process is for ladies only.

She’s not about to stop now, even after the UVA gang-rape case has been revealed as an utter hoax. Joseph Spector, Journal News:

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who is pushing for stronger laws against rapes on college campuses, today warned against people criticizing the woman at the center of a University of Virginia sexual assault case…

“Victim blaming or shining the spotlight on her for coming forward is not the right approach,” Gillibrand said on “The Capitol Pressroom,” a public radio show in Albany. “In fact, what we have to focus on is how do we keep these campuses safe? How do we have better trained personnel on campuses so they can tell a survivor what her options are and so they can have all the facts?”

Gillibrand said it would be wrong for some to call on the female student in the UVA scandal to face criminal charges.

“I think it’s inappropriate,” she said

Punishing false accusations of rape would only discourage actual rape victims from stepping forward, you see. We must protect women, even if they’re lying. They’re victims because they say so, and we must not be swayed by mere evidence to the contrary.

Those frat bros probably had it coming anyway. If you think those guys are innocent until proven guilty, you hate women. Go ahead, deny it. That just serves as further proof of your misogyny, misogynist.

Just like with the Hands Up Don’t Shoot BS..the left knew it was BS from the start but they didn’t care, its the same with all progressives “The ends always justifies the means” in their world

The victims are the men falsely accused of rape.

Its not the truth of the charge, its the seriousness of the charge.

What does this harpy want? The Department of Education has forced colleges to strip away almost all due process rights for the inevitably male accuseds. What goes on in most colleges right now is kangaroo court proceedings.

Didn't this story be proved as a hoax? If so, then you can't have a victim, right?

Kirsten seems to be talking out her butt.

Ah, the same ditz who insists she was sexually harassed yet refuses to name the harasser.
(Spoiler alert: She lied.)

If the rape never happened then there is no victim, except the falsely accused.

This could be Gillibrand trying to maintain the Wymyns Empowerment Narrative in the face of bad facts but I think that’s giving her too much credit. No one ever said Kirsten was the sharpest tool in the shed. I think she has been unable to mentally process that the story is a lie.

Kirsten Gillibrand is a child molester.

That shouldn’t bother her.

I called her a child molester but it shouldn’t bother her if it’s true or not. How do these idiots come up with this stuff? How do they get in the senate?

“Its not the truth of the charge, its the seriousness of the charge.”

It’s actually the political standing of the accuser. Big difference.

Did this person come forward and contact the Police? Was she even cooperating with the Police during this latest investigation?

Well, there is that filing a false police report thing we have to deal with. AFter all...nothing says "I care about the community" more than wasting law enforcement resources by asking them to investigate crimes that didn't actually happen.

“In fact, what we have to focus on is how do we keep these campuses safe? How do we have better trained personnel on campuses so they can tell a survivor what her options are and so they can have all the facts?”

Yeah...sending law enforcement on a snipe hunt with a false incident report can be a real harrowing experience. People who do that need options...like jail.

No Charlottesville police have had to suspend their investigation because the "victim" refuses to co-operate with their investigation.
