A former commissioner of the U.S. Civil Right Commission believes the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee played Dr. Christine Ford "like a pawn" and did not really care if the allegation was true so long as it helped to derail President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court and make her pro-choice allies happy.

The #MeToo movement has revealed some horrifically lecherous behavior but it also leads to people being considered guilty just for being accused and allegations that one in five women are sexually assaulted on college campuses, but best-selling author and scholar Heather Mac Donald says American liberals foolishly embraced a "drunken hook-up culture" and they're now trying to explain away the cons...
