Sen Franken is a Democrat, so of course people here will minimize the accusation
or ignore or excuse it or deny it ever happened.
And since the alleged victim is a conservative woman she automatically loses credibility.
I wonder what the responses would be if the alleged victim was a Democrat.

The trickle of allegations became a stream and the stream became a flood
Sexual assault and sexual harassment is unacceptable no matter who it does it.
There are going to be more allegations in the future against people we hate and people we like. I suspect many of these allegations will be true, but how do we decide if the allegations are true or lies designed to destroy people's careers and damage their lives?
