It is known that purity tests are ineffective in elections on both sides of the debate.

You are aware that something like 30 women have accused him of sexual assault, right?

Another possibility is that they can make claims they don't really stand behind, because there's no personal responsibility for their statements. Trolling, essentially.

The problem is, it's often hard to tell which is which. A bit of Poe's law.
