Look, we all had fun with Warren's Marine boy toy, but would it be asking too much for every single reporter/gawker/insult comic to completely ignore this one? https://t.co/5BQg7p05cD

(42,600 posts)have been targets of lurid lies and accusations.
It must be understood that all women who have wielded political power have been subjected to accusations of sexual deviance or voracity. Cleopatra was said to have offered men a night of lovemaking with her at the cost of their lives. Anne Boleyn was falsely accused of affairs with five different men, including incest with her brother. Catherine de Medici was portrayed as the devious madame of a harem of seductive ladies-in-waiting whom she ordered to seduce noblemen, and was accused of securing prostitutes for her young sons. Elizabeth I, in order to avoid this kind of speculation, had to present herself as the similarly implausible Virgin Queen.
These women, who did not conform to the reductive vision of second-class submissive wife to a more powerful man, suffered repeated slander always based in invented accusations of sexual insatiability.
At each point, these stories originate in the minds of their greatest enemies. Accounts of Cleopatras life, for example, all originate from Romans, who were eager to glorify the Roman Empire and its founder Octavius Augustus, who had been Cleopatras rival.

(19,566 posts)I see what you're saying, and I respect it. This is the lowest hanging fruit, the ones I keep saying we shouldn't campaign to for whom this resonates with. They're dead to us and won't change.
In my opinion, we're better focusing on people who don't align with these freaks. We can be disgusted but that's all I'm willing to give to Asshats like this.
They're not nearly as relevant as some here think anymore. Did you know FOX cable only reaches 1% of the population here? That's true, we keep pretending they have more influence then they do. Without outside influences these nuts mean nothing. They're marginalized out of the box. What we need to watch for is places like Facebook spreading their lies verbatim again. Then we need to mobilize. It's already happening. We need to unite against it.
