I don't think they really believe that.  Its a useful rhetorical device
when you want to wield power.  In the past, people would change tracks
and try to disprove this spurious allegations, which gave them moral and
political leverage.  This is why so many organisations have let them in,
just a little, to stop the accusations.  Its not a statement of fact, or
genuine, its to illicit fear and put you on the backfoot.  Companies
will spend $$$$ to not have people like him accuse them of being
uninclusive or whatever.
