The Democratic handwringing over Graham Platner is sickening. It is not sickening because the Democratic supporters of Platner didn’t abandon him when the New York Times first explored his sexcapades. One could infer that he was guilty of traditional wrongdoing from the story, but it wasn’t necessarily so.
The “believe all women” line is an obvious fiction. As we have seen, even those who mouth the idiocy don’t buy it. No one “believes all women.”
I don’t believe all women. I can think of prominent women who obviously lied about sexcapades with famous men — Anita Hill lied about Clarence Thomas, Christine Blasey Ford lied about Brett Kavanaugh, and E. Jean Carroll lied about Donald Trump. They are obvious examples.
Women are prey to the same temptations as men. They lie. They even lie about sexcapades.
To be clear, however, I believed Lyndsey Fifield’s account of her relationship with Platner as told in the June 4 New York Times story. The members of the Democrat/MSM Axis for whom Fifield’s account was insufficient are full of it. If they were capable of shane, they should be shamed out of public life.
His Nazi tattoo marked Platner as a man of character far below one fit for public responsibility. Women lie, but tattoos don’t. Beleve all tattoos. Believe all Nazi tattoos. Especially Nazi tattoos.
