I hate the black and white mentality. People were right to be skeptical; there was zero evidence. It's very sad it turned out that there really was (apparently, unless something else comes out) a ten year old that was raped. That's fucking terrible. But the skepticism was still absolutely warranted, yet they're trying to act like these people are terrible monsters for doubting a freaking ridiculous story that now looks to be true.
I was personally very skeptical. Looks like I was wrong. I'm not going to try to minimize that skepticism though. I stand by my reasoning, and would do the exact same thing again next time a story with so little backing evidence gets so widespread coverage. The story stunk, and parts of it still do.
Was the story true, or do illegal aliens rape ten year olds so reliably and frequently that it is trivial to find such a victim the moment it becomes politically expedient? Was the delay in releasing the details of the case actually caused by the search for such a victim? My first thought was “this probably happens a lot among the illegal alien community, so I’m surprised there are no details proving this happened”.
You were not wrong to be skeptical. I was the same way, and we were right. Sometimes you need to make the best analysis under all available evidence, and sometimes something unusual will happen, but the large majority of the time you'll be right.
And you're also correct that the other critical part of the story - that the 10 year old was DENIED AN ABORTION in Ohio - is clearly false.
Well, she may have been denied but, if she was, it was likely for political reasons, not legal. They wanted this story, and it sounds like multiple parties potentially broke the law to help create the narrative they wanted.
I was also very skeptical and for good reason.
The difference between us and Politico is we have no problem changing our position once new evidence is uncovered.
They pushed the Russian collusion hoax even after they knew it was false, yet they want to rake people over the coals for not apologizing for being skeptical of this story? Lol
