#MeToo: Coming for a Republican Near You

The smear campaigns are already under way.
If you believe the character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh by the Democrats and the #MeToo mob is an isolated phenomenon, you’re kidding yourself. Such smears will be the primary weapon they deploy against Republicans throughout the midterms. It’s their only hope of winning majorities in Congress. The GOP is favored to retain their Senate majority, and recent shifts in the generic ballot portend bad news for them in the House. Even worse, Democratic policy proposals range from the merely dumb to the downright dangerous. Without launching a barrage of last minute accusations of sexual misconduct, they will remain in the minority.
The smears have already begun, and the victims aren’t limited to men running for (or members of) the U.S. Congress. Washington State Senator Joe Fain, for example, was targeted last week by a woman who accuses him of raping her 11 years ago.AP reports, “In a tweet Thursday afternoon, Candace Faber said Republican state Sen. Joe Fain sexually assaulted her in 2007 the night she graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.†Fain denies the allegation, of course, but says he’ll work with the investigators: “I invite and will cooperate with any inquiry.†But here’s the passage of this story that should give you the creeps:
Faber explained later in a statement that she was inspired by Christine Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor who told the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two were teenagers. Kavanaugh fiercely denied Ford’s claims.
