Republican: "Rape Allegations Against Politicians Are Fabricated 99% Of The Time"

Following the controversy surrounding President Trump's supreme court pick Brett Kavanaugh over the past few weeks with three women coming forward to claim that the judge sexually assaulted them in the 1980's, it quickly developed into a extremely hyper-partisan issue with those on the left choosing to support the women's claims and those on the right dismissing the allegations as politically motivated.

Now in steps a Republican Senate nominee from Mississippi, Chris McDaniel, who when interviewed by Bryan Fischer, a man who has claimed that the Holocaust was caused by homosexuals and that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian, on Fischer's Focal Point radio show stated that "these allegations 99% of the time are just absolutely fabricated", where McDaniel got that number from is truly anyone's guess.

McDaniel continued: "We have a system where Judge Kavanaugh is obviously well suited for, and they're going to drag something up even theoretically, allegedly from all those years ago that suddenly disqualifies this man, all of a sudden he's a terrible human being. No not a chance. I don't fall for it anymore. I hope the American people aren't falling for it. These allegations 99% of the time are just absolutely fabricated."


When asked to clarify his statements McDaniel uses a right-wing trick that is very much in vogue right now: claiming that your words are misrepresented or taken out of context when quoted verbatim. A tactic which is extremely popular with the likes of Jordan Peterson fans.

A spokesman for McDaniel told WLOX, "He's not saying 99% of all sexual misconduct allegations are false" but followed up by stating that "when it's against a high profile figure, 99% of the time they are (fabricated) yes." Schrodinger's sexual misconduct allegations, apparently.

 Kavanaugh was accused of pinning 51-year-old psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford to a bed while they were both at a party in the 1980's as high school students. Ford alleged that Kavanaugh "groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothes she wore on top of it."

None of these allegations mattered however, as Kavanaugh is now a Supreme Court Justice after receiving key confirmation votes from undecided Republicans and more conservative Democrats and an investigation into the allegations was extremely rushed and some witnesses were never even interviewed.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different...

Sally Albright: I'd Prefer 4 More Years Of Trump Than President Bernie Sanders

One of the main talking points used against Bernie Sanders and his supporters is that their lack of enthusiasm and support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 directly led to Donald Trump becoming president, with Sanders supporters being labelled as privileged and sexist for not backing Clinton, and yes that includes you misogynistic Jill Stein/Green Party voters! However, our favourite anti-Bernie Democratic loyalist, Sally Albright, now insists that it isn’t pivotal that you support the Democratic nominee in order to defeat Donald Trump, should Sanders win the 2020 Democratic nomination. Albright recently claimed that “ 4 more years of Trump would be better in the long run ” as opposed to a President Bernie Sanders. This comes after the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party have spent the past three years suggesting that apathetic Sanders supporters are the cause of every terrible Trump decision and we’d be in a utopia if us sexists would have just fell in line behind Clinton. In ...
