#TrustWomen trumps evidence, due process, and the presumption of innocence.
The media’s despicable coverage of the uncorroborated allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has infected some so intensely that they’re taking their anger out on a woman who stood up against the mob and called for evidence and the presumption of innocence.
Huffington Post Columnist Lauren Sandler wrote a scathing review of Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) speech on the senate floor earlier this year (yes, as I’ve written previously, members of the media arestillrunning poorly reported hit jobs about those around Kavanaugh) in which she explained why she would vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Collins madeseveral points in her speech about the need for due process and the presumption of innocence — neither of which were present after the allegations against Kavanaugh. For the record, the woman who first accused Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford, was not served well by the way her allegations where handled, either.
