Shouldn't Roy Moor be proven guilty before he is not allowed to run for Senate? Al Franken admitted what he did, but doesn't seem to think he should step down as Senator.
Bill Clinton was proven to have lied about what happened, and the left thought it would be good to run his Wife for office. The thing that the very liberal John Oliver doesn't seem to get about all of this, is the hypocrisy from the left.
John Oliver is a tool.
Please don’t confuse the lefties with the principles of presumed innocence, the right to face your accuser in a court of law, and the rest of those pesky rights they are trying to destroy in America with their never ending march toward Socialism/Communism. Because they are all our dependents, don’t ya know...

America is now a plutocracy and your ranting about it being taken over by socialism/communism....where is your great destroyer of America?...all I see is the poor and middle-class getting screwed over and over, while the wealthy and corporate accumulate massive amounts of money

John Oliver is a hack as far as I am concerned, and illustrates the problem quite nicely.
First, to pretend this happens only on the right is a joke.
Sure, someone says Roy Moore, and many right wingers say what about Bill.
But you say al franken, and many left wingers say what about trump.
So excuse me if I take his opinion with a large train of salt.

Is IS allowed to run for senate and is doing so now?
As far as "proven guilty"?
We do not apply a court standard of justice to making voting decisions, or what we should eat for breakfast, or a million other decisions in our daily lives.
No, we operate on informed decision making in voting and other things, not a full-on jury trial for each and every conclusion or decision we make.

Will be a sad day in this country when all I have to is call the media, say someone raped me, providing no evidence, and their life is over.

How is whatchamacallit any different than the daily games of deflection that have raged in partisan environments for as long as Homo sapiens have been around?

Obama used this method like a pro, as have numerous appointees of his (including Clinton).
Yes, on the surface, I'm using that tactic now, but the difference is that I'm not point this out to minimalize Trump's use, I'm just showing you that all politicians use this
But, sure, if you want to play make-believe, we'll pretend that Trump has revived this dormant tactic that was last used by the Soviets, if it makes you and John Oliver feel better.
