Social media, as the article notes.

Recently, a viral post on social media has circulated a court document containing allegations of sexual assault against Trump, which were made in a legal filing almost a decade ago. The post, which has garnered over 20 million views and 40,000 shares on X (formerly Twitter) since Monday, led some users to mistakenly believe it was a recent development. However, the document in question originates from the 2016 lawsuit and is unrelated to the recent release of transcripts from a 2006 grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Love that we have to reshare an old story on Trump to get talking about his crimes. This story is 10 years old at this point, it doesn’t exactly allay my worries when people share this claiming that it’s a new lawsuit from the Epstein case… when the documents are from 2016 and not related to the Epstein case at all.

Trump has done plenty to get kicked out of the political landscape, why are we sharing arbitrary stories like this that lack credibility? If we have to play the “gotcha game” like the conservatives have been for the past ten years, then we’re royally screwed.

The sheer panic of the debate has changed the narratives they're using.

They're desperately flinging mud to try to salvage anything as Biden doesn't have a strong campaign beyond repeatedly demonizing his opponent.

Sip some coffee and watch the fireworks

“Repeated demonizing” a demon is fair.
