They are trivializing, cheapening, and commercializing the whole issue. It is a true perversity to make up fake abuse for the sole purpose of damaging a political opponent. It risks lending the same aura of inauthenticity to the claims of those who have suffered real abuse, and thus abuses them all over again. Or, as Republicans put it, makes them "collateral damage."
