Perhaps it should be made known from the onset where men and women politicians are in public together, there should be NO contact whatsoever.

I have been hugged and had arms around me by Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Jim Clyburn, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Al Franken, Barney Frank, Mark Dayton, and the late Paul Wellstone....and NOTHING inappropriate happened.

I am female and I'm glad that such allegations are not being discounted out-of-hand, but I am NOT going to believe without critically appraising the allegations and, in most cases, allowing the facts to be explored/investigated.

I will not be part of the few who would manipulate the well-intentioned "Me-Too" movement to destroy based on nothing more than accusations being levied.

This is a cudgel that we are potentially handing our political opponents in order to destroy or determine our candidate. After the whole Franken saga, have we learned NOTHING?
