> We went from "he grabbed me by the pussy"
I hate having to write this. But this is one of the biggest examples of fakenews out there that “our side” is ok with because we want to be lied to.
As awful as he was, not a single woman ever actually accused Trump of this. His statements were off record to in discussion about how women react when you are famous.
We didn’t even go from “he grabbed me by the pussy”. We went from the actual quote ”and when you a star, they let you do it, you can do anything... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything”. [0]
If we’re going to call out fake things and being intellectually honest about accusations and “canceling”, let’s start close to home first.
