Gary Melton compares the current climate of social media accusations to the Salem Witch Trials, where character and hearsay replace evidence.

The current media focus on Trump’s alleged Epstein links is compared to the historical smear campaign against Rasputin, which helped topple the Russian Czar.

The Alex Jones trial is contrasted with the OJ Simpson case, where Simpson was acquitted in a court of law despite being guilty in the court of public opinion due to police misconduct.
