How to use accusation in a sentence?

1. Brett Healy:

   The accusation is so juvenile and ludicrous it cannot be taken seriously, if this rumor was even remotely credible, someone here in Wisconsin would have alerted the media and filed a complaint with the Elections Commission. Rural Wisconsin voters, who have a history of voting Democrat in presidential elections, decided that they had enough of the far left policies of President Obama and they took it out on Clinton. For the Democratic Party to attempt to blame their widespread defeat on an imaginary bogeyman is comical and a little sad.

2. Eric Bolling:

   I don't know of any video Nicole Saphier was in prior to or after appearing on my show. Frankly, I was shocked when Nicole Saphier made the accusation, i asked our producers to add Nicole Saphier to the show for the express purpose of debunking the conspiracy theory. I believe viewers see that I did not and do not endorse Nicole Saphier theory.

3. Daniel DiNardo:

   The questions raised deserve answers that are conclusive and based on evidence. Without those answers, innocent men may be tainted by false accusation and the guilty may be left to repeat sins of the past.

4. Chief Magistrate Graeme Henson:

   Suspicion, wild accusation, deficiencies in evidence cannot be translated into accepted truths simply because an agency of prosecution says so or a media who wants something to be true says it must be without due process.

5. Greg Stube:

   I ’m flabbergasted by this sleeping pill accusation.
