I'll add a couple (paraphrased):

Since Trump got to stay, then sexual harassment and rape are not a reason to remove a Democrat from office.

Women who are sexually harassed by Democratic employers should not fear retaliation for reporting the harassment (because, of course, Democrats wouldn't engage in retaliation).

Because it really doesn't matter to those impacted by sexual harassment, Ms. Toad Mar 2021 #62
