I'm not big on watching cable news, but something strange is going on with these sexual assault allegations against Fox News personalities. They really targeted Roger Ailes, making a number of movies and shows that really set things into motion. They went after better known personalities like Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly. They have gone after reporter Ed Henry. In the case of those men, the accusations were more credible.
That being said, accusers tried and failed to nab Hannity and Carlson, but now they have set their sights on Judge Andrew Napolitano. The accusations being made against him are the most ridiculous yet. Little is actually known or said about Napolitano's love life other than he's unmarried and now in his 70s. Trump had previously attacked Napolitano and insinuated he was gay tweeting that Napolitano was "a good 'pal' of low ratings Shep Smith."
There are two complaints against Napolitano, but the second one curiously doesn't claim rape had actually taken place. The plaintiff alleges that he was offered a drink in Napolitano's house that left him feeling "extremely woozy as if he had been drugged" and that he had "blurred memories" of being in threesome with Napolitano. That sounds as if Napolitano had drugged and raped the man, but the complaint doesn't actually rise to the level of outright accusing Napolitano of rape, rather the complaint insinuates it. He later alleges he met Napolitano at a farm and that Napolitano attempted to rape him. Again, that doesn't constitute the same thing as rape itself. It's curious the complaint falls short of making an outright accusation of rape. There's a simple explanation: accusing someone of rape under false pretenses is a serious crime punishable with years in prison.
In other words, these are lies meant to disparage Napolitano. The real goal is extort money from a man who they think is a closeted homosexual, who they think would be willing to settle out of court rather than have the courts examine his private sex life. That's what this is, pure and simple extortion. And I think it's worth stressing that initially Napolitano was thought of as a possible replacement for Scalia (Trump personally interviewed him for the job). Kavanaugh got that nomination instead and he faced a barrage of unsubstantiated sexual assault claims during his confirmation hearing. If Napolitano had gotten the nomination instead, there's no doubt these same accusers would have come forward to torpedo his confirmation and prevent Trump from getting his choice on the Supreme Court.

David Hogg, who it turns out wasn't in the line of fire in the Florida school shooting, for simply teasing the kid on twitter for not making it into UCLA. The rest of the other media and Hogg himself made it out that Laura molested the kid and scarred him for life, literally disgusting. They tried doing that to Tucker as well, accusing him of misogynistic comments on a segment he had on his show, but again failed. I'm more worried now that you have the RHINO, Paul Ryan on Fox's board, that some of their on air hosts are on a shorter leash of what they might opine on air, that he might pull the plug on them for good.
