If true, and given the Covington story we have to wait until we have very clear evidence, those men should be condemned and prosecuted.
However what they are accused of doing is no different than what Democrats did to Judge Thomas and Judge Kavanaugh. In both cases Democrats got women to claim they'd been sexually assaulted or harassed when in fact there was no evidence for the claims.
The only difference appears to be that the right wingers couldn't find people who were willing to go along.
The same media who will be howling over this latest scandal cheered on Michael Avenatti when he produced a woman who initially claimed that Kavanaugh had taken part in multiple gang rapes even after it became clear that she was lying through her teeth.
To this day the #FakeNews media acts as though Anita Hill's claims of sexual harassment were credible even though she followed Clarence Thomas from job to job while he was supposedly being sexually harassed.
We need to stop the weaponization of the #MeToo movement because it destroys the credibility of people who have really been raped or sexually assaulted.
But to do that we can't just condemn right wing scum we need to condemn everyone who lies about sexual assault to achieve a political objective.
