Why are we so quick to rush to judgement on Al Franken?

31. Two things:

First: I haven't seen people here being willing to accept the woman's word on what happened. What I saw was people saying, "Do not dismiss her accusation out of hand." Big difference from what you describe. Then Franken himself came out with his apology in which he accepted responsibility for having done something that was inappropriate.

Second: I can't speak for anyone else, but I would not dream of dismissing an accuser out of hand because I don't like her social profile. That's what Trump Republicans do. I don't. I'm better than they are.

At this point, more of the story has come out, the accuser has accepted Franken's apology and what I see here are people mostly saying, "Ok, that's done."

But no, no one here has "convicted" Franken at any point in this.
