“Conyers - in or out?” @MeetThePress’ @chucktodd asks.

“We are strengthened by due process. Was it one accusation or two? John Conyers is an icon in our country,” says @NancyPelosi. #MTP

Democrats have always been as bad as Republicans when it comes to sexual harassment. The only difference is there’s more Republicans defending a pedophile (see Trump, Donald) than Democrats defending an harasser.

To be fair, it’s a tough situation, especially when there’s only one accusation. Who do you believe when there’s no evidence?

I don’t see how that relates to my post.

Trump is defending a pedophile. Bill Clinton is not.

I default towards the woman. For sure a man will get accused when they are innocent (see Lacrosse Team, Duke) but it seems much rarer.

He’s saying that Democrats defended Bill Clinton.

I know but that doesn’t fit the format of my post, both in who the accuser is and what the accused is being accused of…sigh, this is gonna be pointless so I’m gonna just give up now. Trying to make my post and someone’s response related in any way but a vague tangent is impossible here some days. I almost wish there was no quote button.

You’re right Warb, Democrats defended Bill Clinton. Has nothing to do with my point but you’re still right.

Sheesh.

The behavior is terrible, and potentially-to-rightly career ending, regardless of whether it is a republican or democrat.

Having said that, there is some pretty big contrast between the responses. Franken’s side is a mixture of self-reflection/apology and occasional support (SNL, for example) while admitting wrongdoing. Republicans on the other hand have dug in their heels in support for Moore by denying the accusations, supporting him anyways because he’s not a democrat, and even supporting his actions as being Biblically acceptable. These latter two are particularly disgusting.

As long as @RichardFausset and other journalists fail to understand that Nazism and other fascist mythologies that lionize white people, scapegoat nonwhite people, and worship power have REAL APPEAL, they’ll keep publishing these “can u believe it?” puff pieces, which help Nazis.

You know who had nice manners? The Nazi who shaved my uncle Willie’s head before escorting him into a cement chamber where he locked eyes with children as their lungs filled with poison and they suffocated to death in agony.

Too much? Exactly. That’s how you write about Nazis.

I get your point now. Keep in mind I hate this Tony Hovater nazi motherfucker. I can’t wait till he dies and I hope he suffers, but the news isn’t exactly supposed to take that tone.

oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about sexual harassment, not pedophilia.

If it wasn’t him on the tape, why’d he apologize for it a year ago? Why didn’t he say back during the election that it wasn’t him on the tape?

Logic doesn’t matter to his supporters, nor does reality.

Senility or just plain asshole? I can’t tell anymore.

I’m surprised Trumpy doesn’t have a portrait of General Custer hanging in the White House at this point.
