No, it’s a different woman. She was referenced in the NYT piece, but she didn’t come forward with the rape until now. She saw how everyone dismissed the Republican woman who accused Platner and realized she needed to step forward herself.
Yikes! I’m glad another person spoke up. It is terrible the first wasn’t believed because she was a Republican (which seems like the excuse d’jour to not believe at least some women).
It’s 100% good and justified to not believe Republican operatives on literally anything. Their whole deal is abusing societal expectations about people being forthright by spreading lies for political gain. Don’t fall into the trap of believing you should take the high road and extend them good faith. They won’t do that for you and they will happily abuse any you give them.
