Whitch Hunt

A search for and subsequent persecution of a supposed witch/A campaign directed against a person or group holding unorthodox or unpopular views.

A witch hunt, or a witch purge, is a search for people who have been labeled witches or a search for evidence of witchcraft. 

In contemporary English, "witch-hunt" metaphorically means an investigation that is usually conducted with much publicity, supposedly to uncover subversive activity, disloyalty, and so on, but with the real purpose of harming opponents. It can also involve elements of moral panic, as well as mass hysteria.

Trump announced plans to slap Brazil with tariffs on 1 August earlier this month, partly in retaliation for a supposed political “witch-hunt” against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro. The former Brazilian president faces decades in jail for allegedly plotting a military coup to stop Lula from taking office after the former lost the 2022 presidential election.

目前媒介大肆宣传的床铺与Epstein 的私交就是witch hunt

Epstein 有个组织party组织交友活动的美名,这怎么了?没什么问题啊。还有,床铺不但日理万机鞠躬尽瘁,而且多年来始终如一,洁身自好,完全是坐怀不乱爱妻如命的好男人,不知为什么得罪了那些媒介,完全是扑风捉影无中生有。真让人看不下去。为美国做点事为美国人民做点事真不容易。不能再说了,再说我眼泪都要下来了。
