In reply to the discussion: Was similar doubt cast upon the accusers of Harvey Weinstein when they first came forward? [View all]Demsrule86
(68,471 posts)21. No one knows the truth. And I see no reason to attack anyone...if it can be proven to be true then
Fairfax will resign or not...can't force him unless he is indicted...if it can't be proven then why do we brand Fairfax a rapist un an unsubstantiated accusation. I don't want a man's life ruined because of an accusation. I have men in my life that I love ...I don't ever want them to face an accusation from a woman who could be lying. We don't know who is telling the truth at this point. And it sure smells like dirty GOP tricks...and attempt to steal the governor's seat.
