It is a tale as old as time. A candidate the system doesn’t like is nominated for a position the system doesn’t want them in, and allegations of sexual impropriety get published in system-friendly news outlets. Usually with someone under the age of 18. I’ve seen it all my life. I know there’s usually nothing to it. You know there’s usually nothing to it. But we’ve all given them the benefit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe, this time they aren’t just making it up. Maybe it’s not just the system making up a charge to keep someone they don’t want placed in a position they don’t want them in. Well, after the last decade, I don’t give the system the benefit of the doubt anymore. I just assume they are lying. They have to prove the opposite now.
