        Nice try. The man didn’t commit suicide because of false accusations. He did it out of guilt and with his suicide note to cleanse himself of the crime.

        You do know that the majority do not even go to trial? A lot of people are ignored, labeled a liar, and have their lives ruined because they are the victim of a heinous crime. Women put up with this shit all the time and he couldn’t even deal with it for a whole day?

        What do they do when a teacher or cop is accused of something illegal while on the job? They get put on leave while the allegations are investigated. I think it should be the same for politicians. Of course there will always be people that lie but it’s not an excuse to not

        Take all accusations seriously and remove them from a position of authority until it is investigated?

        I really think the guy had other issues going on, we don’t know so it’s not fair to automatically blame it on the allegations. The guy had to have been struggling for some time to get to the point of killing himself.

        That is horrible. I hope he was receiving help but unfortunately not everyone will seek out help or get the very best. Suicide is tragic and painful for everyone left behind but so is rape. We can never discount it. I know most men think women are bat shit crazy but it’s false!

        Sad, but why would he kill himself if there wasn’t some truth to the accusation? And who exactly is Ms Johnson to ask for his seat. #StopSexualAsssult

        The guy was a habitual liar, hypocrite, egomaniac with a severe drug and booze problem. He was ANTYHING but fit for public office OR ministry. He was a scum bag. No sympathy for his wife, she enabled him as she KNEW what he was doing.

        White people need to stop using the term lynching.
