He is on point. The common way to approach any questioning of the common way of thinking is to always deny, never admit to anything and make counter accusations. The questions are never answered, and the counter accusations are aggressive charicatures that most often has little relation to what was claimed. I personally find this more scary than McCarthyism because while it used the judicial process, the current attitude is to rule by mob with no process and without hearing both sides. Our democracy is fragile and rely on us respecting the rule of law . These people have the power to ruin people’s lives and use it. They should be ashamed for risking our democracy in this way for short term gain, in the naive belief that democracy is the default state of a society.
