The Me Too movement (or #MeToo movement) is hashtag movement spread virally on social media in October 2017 soon after the sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood mogul and Democratic party mega-donor Harvey Weinstein became public. The charter member of the Clinton Legal Defense Fund against sexual abuse claims faces allegations from at least 97 accusers over 30 years. The movement attempts to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment of predominantly liberal media personalities, executives, and celebrities.
With the Kavanaugh smear, Democrats attempted to reverse the movement and weaponize it to smear conservatives.[1][2]
Attempted hijacking by Democrats for identity politics
The cyncical exploitation of real sex abuse victims by Democrats for political purposes became obvious when Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who voted against Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, in turn published the names of real abuse victims without their consent, thus victimizing them all over again, alleging real victims supported her re-election. Heitkamp now faces potential lawsuits from real victims.[3]
