          Once you're accused, you're automatically guilty.

          I can't believe he called some of these accusations against him frivolous. We're are talking sexual assault and harassment, what's frivolous about that????

          Interesting. So either the women that have accused him of rape are liars, or he is. This is one of those things where there’s no gray area. A=A and Rape = Rape.
