A guy who had 8 separate women accuse him isn't a great example EdmondDantes_ Apr 11 #34

Most of them remained anonymous as I recall. LisaL Apr 11 #48

Franken was 100% faithful to his wife and he had one FOX-affiliated accuser Earthrise Apr 11 #58

AI could have been hallucinating. SonOfNebanaube Apr 11 #65

Absolutely false. Franken had 8 accusers. EdmondDantes_ Apr 11 #72

Accusations should be investigated. Kid Berwyn Apr 11 #4

Who claimed repressed memories? Scrivener7 Apr 11 #7

The accuser Kid Berwyn Apr 11 #17

There is some documentation. Maybe that particular accuser was not the one who provided it. Scrivener7 Apr 11 #24

TV coverage went from accusations to rape PDQ Kid Berwyn Apr 11 #38

I just watched that interview. I agree it's problematic, but she didn't say she had repressed memories. Scrivener7 Apr 11 #41

Right, the memories she couldn't remember until prompted. Kid Berwyn Apr 11 #53

I don't think that's what she said. Scrivener7 Apr 11 #59

Others coming forward don't necessarily mean he's guilty. Kid Berwyn Apr 11 #66

Don't agree with that. Andrew Cuomo - prime example - He needed to go. tulipsandroses Apr 11 #11

Swalwell, is dropping his bid. His ACT Blue was turned off. However, there is no reason to resign from Congress. LeftInTX Apr 11 #19
