16. Where were you when that happened?

Yes it is very un-PC to mock grabbing a woman by the breasts for a gag photo

even if it was taken over a decade ago

on a comedy tour

with others in the room laughing along

on a fully dressed woman pretending not to notice

on a woman that engaged in similar behavior, perhaps even more egregious as she actually grabbed flesh, and on stage.

a woman that then had a right wing radio show who colluded with Roger Stone.

But if you take just the photo, taken on a comedy tour, that long ago, and transport it into the present day, during the height of the #metoo movement, it is defined as very 'un-PC'. And I don't know how 'liberal' they are, but yes, he was taken down by Democrats who would not even honor his request for a voluntary ethics probe. Democrats that may have seen him as competition in the future because of his popularity and hard work as a Senator.
