With Roy Moore, reporters found the reluctant victims.
They were vetted and researched and validated by multiple sources.
That didn't happen with Franken and like you said more and more 'witnesses' turned up.
They all seemed more annoyed rather than traumatized.

Franken's ouster stinks to high heaven to me.
Not that anyone should not get upset by unwanted physical touching, they should.
I just do not think that Franken, a champion of net neutrality, woman's rights, healthcare, and many other good social services, should be removed from office.
That's my two cents.
