Cool your jets.

This is how the right wing propaganda machine operates. They're not even very good at it.

Take any accusations with a grain of salt. Don't trust, but do verify. If merited, run with it.

They've done this to themselves. It's not right to disbelieve a woman's account of abuse. But when that woman belongs to a group that is known for its lies and dirty tricks, thereby politicizing the abuse, no one can be taken at face value.

It's the boy who cried wolf syndrome, applied to the GOP. Project Veritas demeans and devalues true victims. True victims should be rioting against them, regardless of party affiliation.
