The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a story about a boy who have seen a wolf, successfully threatened the wolf away by causing a commotion in a disbelieving village. One day the disbelieving village refused to show up, boy was eaten and thus proven correct.

But as it happens in real life politics too, people who were just proven they were wrong continued to blame the boy.

The story is told from the point of view of a villagers trying to hide their culpability by blaming the victim.

That's one way to completely reframe the story to fit the narrative you want to push
