The Left Continues to Destroy Itself and Others With Evidence-Free Destruction of Reputations

Equating accusations with proven fact is reckless and repressive. As we are yet again seeing in the NY Mayoral Race with the evidence-free accusations against Scott Stringer, it is also standard behavior in liberal politics, whereby they ruin lives without a second thought.

Last year, left-wing groups instantly embraced a sickening smear campaign against a young gay challenger to 15-term Dem incumbent Richie Neal, treating Alex Morse as if he were a sexual predator. When that was proven false, this is what they NYT asked the left. The answer is no.

There is only one place where it is controversial to assert that grave, life-destroying accusations shouldn't be assumed true without *evidence*: in US left-liberal culture. Destroying people with glee -- even those with reputations over decades -- is central to what they do.

There's no evidence -- zero -- that Scott Stringer is a sexual predator. There's evidence for doubting it happened. But evidence is irrelevant in left-liberal culture. No person should be trusted with the power to destroy someone's life without evidence.

Ten years after Jean Kim claims - with no evidence - that Scott Stringer assaulted her, she wrote an email asking for a job with his campaign. That huge portions of the left has issued statements treating Stringer like a sexual predator is repulsive:

Imagine working for decades in public life with the left and then suddenly - weeks before an election - someone pops up to claim you groped them 18 years earlier and the left instantly proclaims you a predator. Who would want to work in such a culture?

Now that Stringer has been throw into a ditch by the left with no evidence -- exactly as they did with Alex Morse (it's the same groups doing it) -- look at how their new favorite candidates speaks. Who talks this way??

This is the same group that used the phrases "rape culture" and "survivors" to denounce Alex Morse before learning the accusations against him were lies. Look how they talk about Scott Stringer, as though his guilt is proven. This mentality is repugnant:

This is who just destroyed Scott Stringer's chances to became Mayor, and his reputation for life, with an accusation utterly bereft of evidence about something that supposedly happened 18 years ago, that the left decreed is true. Laughing it up:
