Let us assume this accusation happened in Iowa (I have my own examples of being on the receiving end of hatred, and bigotry, based on religion and LGBT--those were 30+ years ago, however). Where can a candidate go today who finds themself in this position? Where can the 2022 candidates go to? What would the heads of each of the major Parties do? Would they chastise or abandon the candidate?
