Every woman “deserves to be heard, believed, and supported” right up until they start causing problems for Democrats running for president, apparently.
Back in 2015, Hillary Clinton found it politically useful to hype up the myth that women everywhere were being raped and abused. But now that her long political career is over and #MeToo has exhausted its mileage, Clinton is setting a new standard for women who accuse men of sexual misconduct.
In an interview with People magazine published Sunday, Clinton defended Joe Biden against allegations from several women that he had inappropriately touched them. “This man who’s there in the Oval Office right now poses a clear and present danger to the future of the United States,” Clinton said, “so get over it.”
She’s right. It was a bunch of drama queens accusing Biden of misconduct, but it’s largely because of Clinton that their little claims about being touched on the shoulders were at all taken seriously by the national news media.
As detailed in my forthcoming book Privileged Victims: How America’s Culture Fascists Hijacked the Country and Elevated Its Worst People, the entire concept about believing every woman every time has served as nothing more than a weapon to bring down men in power for no other reason than that they’re men. Liberals championed the tactic because they thought they could use it against President Trump and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
It didn’t work and, in fact, it backfired, taking down Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken, turning former President Bill Clinton into a political pariah, and wounding Joe Biden early in the Democratic primaries.
Liberals are now backing off from their former cause celebre after finding out that it’s not working out so well anymore.
Unfortunately for them, it might be too late.
