Alyssa Milano: We should believe women but not at the expense of ‘giving men their due process’ – By John Sexton (Hot Air) / April 6 2020
The backstory here is that actress Alyssa Milano is the person credited with helping to popularize the pre-existing #MeToo hashtag when she retweeted it back in 2017.
