A ‘right to be heard’ doesn’t include a ‘right to be BELIEVED’

Those who whine about an accuser ‘being heard, so, she must be credible’…ignore the very basic concept of PROOF – without that fundamental key, no one is safe.

Anyone has a right to come forward, but no one has a ‘right’ to be believed. Conflating one with the other is meant to unfairly force an emotional element into the equation.

Sunday’s interview of Senator Cotton (R-AR) on CBS is a case in point. The interviewer tried to force the Senator into conceding credibility to an accuser simply because she came forward, totally ignoring the fact not a shred of corroboration or proof existed.

“DICKERSON: You said when we last talked in November, “I think it’s important that women feel they can come forward. That’s a good change in the norms and the expectations of our society.” A woman came forward here. And you’re saying basically she said nothing credible. How can women come forward, if when they do they’re- they’re told they’re not credible?” (bold emphasis added)

That last sentence is key – FakeNews and their Democrat cohort would have us believe the credibility of an accuser, with NO proof or corroboration, cannot be questioned.

To them, the seriousness of the charge is all that matters…lack of evidence be damned.

(For that matter – in the case of Kavanaugh’s accuser – overwhelming evidence that she ISN’T CREDIBLE be damned: she’s a woman, he’s a Trump nominee…’nuff said.)

This turns centuries of settled law upside down, but, hey…when it’s a Republican or a Trump nominee in the crosshairs, all bets are off, and rule-of-law no longer applies.

Disgusting.
