Maybe because it involved her sister she was extra cautious. And maybe she felt protective of Laura and wanted her to handle it in her way.

Because it wasn’t criminal in her case. If you look through her twitter feed from Nov 9th, she is apparently relaying a story about how she and CK dated briefly and broke up while in the midst of a cross country trip. For the rest of the trip, after they’d broken up, she said he masturbated naked on the bed each…

>I’m puzzling over the reason she felt she had to wear a traditional male costume to deliver it?

Many of us have enjoyed the downfall of people we didn’t like to begin with. We all better brace for the downfall of many people we love. Skeletons are about to be everywhere.

It was fine for what it was. She had to speak and she did. I’m puzzling over the reason she felt she had to wear a traditional male costume to deliver it? Any thoughts on this?

That was a great statement actually. She doesn’t have to disown someone she cares about but she DID own the fact that he did something awful and she needs to do some soul searching on how this nets out for her and where her place was in all of it. The avalanche is still in motion....

“Liberals fall in love, conservatives fall in line.”

By the end of the year, Roy Moore will be a Senator and Al Franken won’t. Go figure.

Yup, we insist on a perfect world. They live in the world that actually exists.

Her politics vs. his politics and the timing of this accusation culturally just don’t pass the smell test for me. This isn’t a dozen women coming out of the woodwork like Cosby or Weinstein or Moore, this is a single woman with a clear agenda with a sketchy story.

No, he’s miming grabbing her breasts. It’s gross, but it’s not assault.

So the mistake is in honoring and sticking to principles even when it hurts?

We should be holding up everyone to the same standards against sexual assault, no matter what their political beliefs are.

Holding a sexual predator accountable is not “self righteous”, it’s just “righteous”.

I’m not just talking about sexual assault. It’s a problem that goes past that. It’s whenever the sights are set on left politicians in general, for any controversy. Liberals/progressives immediately turn on them. I have no idea why some of you are arguing this after last year’s election cycle.

And liberals/progressives will never learn this lesson. They like the self-righteousness too much. Oh well, enjoy the conservative control of government for another generation!

Can we at least bear in mind that the accuser is a Hannity disciple and the “journalist” in the linked tweet works for the Washington Examiner and uses a photo of herself with Trump on her Twitter feed?

So the big topic of a Republican Senatorial candidate embroiled in a sex scandal will end with a Democratic Senator being forced to resign. Like clockwork.

I love Joe Biden as much as the next person, but I will always hold the Anita Hill proceedings against him. He wasn’t the only person involved in the process, but as the person in charge he gets the most of the blame for what happened because it was in his power to fix it.

So we get sexually harassed because of our boobs but we don’t get CPR? Cool.
