4. I haven't said anything about this up until now unless

There was a pattern of behavior. If this claim is legit, he needs to.resign.

[Demsrule86]

6. It is not legit...this is more ratfucking...right wing person. I heard that tweet was deleted ...I

couldn't get on but I don't know for sure.

[AkFemDem]

7. Bullshit. nft

[theboss]

10. It's in the Washington Post, who I believe is credible

Considering we are canonizing Bezos today.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. It's breaking on MSNBC

[Demsrule86]

24. I want to know about both women...before I jump on the GOP fuck Democrat train.

[DesertRat]

12. It's being reported on CNN and MSNBC

[Demsrule86]

25. They are credible source but that doesn't mean it is true.

[a kennedy]

28. and do I mention here.....THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO SENATOR AL FRANKEN!!!!!

Or am I out of line?? This is the play book, this is how they work.

[Dorian Gray]

31. He wasn't accused of

rape...

so it's not exactly what happened to Al Franken.

It sounds like there is corroboration, so screw this guy.

[a kennedy]

33. Ok, my bad........

I’m still just sick over Senator Franken NOT being in the Senate now. I’m sick about it still.

[Dorian Gray]

34. I get it...

he was a great fighter and a powerful voice. I wish he had fought a little more for himself. What he was accused of was nowhere near this level of crap. He could have weathered it and opened a conversation about respecting boundaries.

But rape is something much more sinister and problematic.

I'm sure that there could be assholes working to unseat him, but he's the Lt. Gov, It might be just that he's a rapey scum bucket.

[Demsrule86]

32. I just don't think they should get away with it...let the voters of Virginia decide.

[58Sunliner]

14. Might want to read up.

Through her attorney, Meredith Watson said she shared her account of sexual assault immediately after it happened with several classmates, who have provided statements. Her lawyer also said she shared her account with friends in a string of emails and Facebook messages.

[Demsrule86]

26. I want to see who the friends are...and if there is a GOP connection...this smells...like Franken.

8. I had a feeling another shoe would drop.

The first one is credible and rapists usually strike more than once.

[OliverQ]

11. One discrepancy I noticed.

Watson is claiming she was raped in 2000. She also claims that she sent Facebook messages to friends about the incident. Facebook didn't exist until 2004.

So did she not say anything for 4 years, and then said something on Facebook once it was created?

[58Sunliner]

16. Emails and Facebook.

[theboss]

17. I read that as she has discussed this on Facebook with friends later on

Exactly as Dr. Tyson did.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Presumably the facebook references are from now and not then.

A law firm and crisis management team wouldn't vouch for something that could be so easily disproven.

[standingtall]

15. An accuser that wants no form of investigation but wants the accused to resign

should not be considered credible.

[theboss]

18. This is the hill we are dying on?

Okay.

[Demsrule86]

27. Yes. An accusation but no proof GOP shananigans.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Cui bono

Kaneedreck Adams, 40, an attorney who attended Duke with Watson and said in the spring of 2000, when they lived across from each other in on-campus apartments, Watson came to her crying.

“She was upset,” Adams said. “She told me she had been raped and she named Justin.”

Why would Mr. Adams lie?

[standingtall]

22. An investigation would find out if someone was tellling the truth

or what incentive someone would have to lie.

[yardwork]

29. Contemporaneous corroboration is strong evidence.

So are the emails the accuser sent in later years, stating that he raped her in 2000.

This looks very bad for him.

[HipChick]

21. Agree...100%

[allgood33]

23. OK. Too much harm being done to the women and Fairfax. Time for him to step down and allow

the Governor to appoint antoher Democrat as Lt. Gov. Is that how it works? The Governor appoints and new Lt. Gov.?

If so, the newly appointed needs to be clean, clean, clean. Hard to find in ole Virginny.

[Dorian Gray]

30. Put a fork in him....

he's done.

[ripcord]

35. He has until Monday to step down

Then Patrick Hope will introduce articles of impeachment.
