I've never seen so much hatred for a Democrat on a Democratic forum. I feel so unpopular here just because I like her and the work she's accomplished. WHen she was appointed to the senate, she focused on sexual assault in the military.

I'm also speaking as someone who has had my character assaulted when I was sexually assaulted in middle school (the perp was popular and it turned into he said she said with his word trumping mine. He didn't even get a slap on the wrist).

A previous poster here was tying a victim to Sean Hannity-- whether that is true or not, her allegations need to stand on their own, not based on her ties to someone else. This is a textbook example of why some women don't want to give their names when speaking about sexual assault.

This was also around the time of the Alabama election, where a pedophile almost became a senator. I think had Al Franken remained in the senate, Doug Jones would have lost the election because there was no consistency. What ousting AF did was show Alabama (and the country) of the party's zero tolerance policy for sexual assault. The result was a Democrat being elected in ALABAMA of all places (something I didn't think I'd see in my lifetime-- and I'm a generation younger than most of this forum).

There were also over 30 senators calling for his resignation, but the focus here is on just one.
