I am also pissed at being accused of offending victims of sexual assault and misogyny. No reasonable ration person should be offended by what I said earlier.
You don’t get to decide who your words offend.
I do have the right to have an opinion on what is and isn’t reasonable to be offended about. The mere mention that something that is possible is in fact possible is not something that should offend anyone.
What’s offensive and what isn’t is entirely subjective. You’re free to say what you want and others are free to be offended. Being offended that others are offended, which is what you seem to be, is hypocritical.
Believing in due process means assuming everyone’s innocence until proven otherwise. That includes the women who approached Sen. Flake in the elevator. You had no reason to suggest they might be paid actors and you’re being called out for it. As they say, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
Of course, what the stories those women shared have to do with a completely separate accusation, I have no idea. I’m saddened they were assaulted, but their pain isn’t relevant to Kavanaugh and Ford. One person’s unsolved murder doesn’t make someone else’s murder suspect guilty.
It’s relevant to all the elected idiots who started saying Ford was confused or mistaken right off the bat. Then there was the congressman who made the Ruth Bader Ginsburg joke about her being groped by Abraham Lincoln. The old gentleman’s club on capitol hill just doesn’t have an effing clue.
