In reply to the discussion: I Believe Frankens Accusers Because He Groped Me, Too [View all]LenaBaby61
(6,991 posts)I believed the allegations/statements that the women shared with us all about Conyers. Also, because I was told that Conyers was a sexual harasser, and that he was also rumored to be suffering from something "upstairs" as this friend told me. This friend by the way who lives in Michigan and who was at the time involved in politics there (He's retired now), told me these things about 9 years ago.
But, there's something about the Franken situation that doesn't sit right with me at ALL. Now, I truly believe that not all anonymous accusations should be dismissed against a person whose accusing someone of sexual assault. I get that some women are frightened to speak out even if they're sexual abused/raped/assaulted because all too often women are blamed for the assault or said to have egged a man on
However, something about these Franken accusations just don't sit right with me. Something in the milk doesn't seem "clean" if you will. And yes, there are women who have lied on men and who've accused them of sexual assault rape/harassment.
Oh well, I guess it's a moot point, as it seems that Franken will be resigning tomorrow or soon--sans an any type of investigation--and Roy Mall Rat Moore (Who thuglicans won't ever ask to be investigated for anything) WILL be voted into the Senate, and NO thuglicans won't vote to expel him because they want that vote so they can continue destroying this country.
