Actually, the Me Toos have scored far more ‘own goals’ against leftists. Resigning like this is a fast way to make sure the media doesn’t have the “Trump, who grabs pussies, employs a known abuser as Staff Secretary” meme to spout at every newscast for the next six months.
Sure. It makes sense in the present situation. But the ramifications of the Me Too meme are going to be felt years from now, warding away talented and mostly good men from public life, because years ago, while navigating the complicated shoals of inter-gender relations, they pissed off someone female who subsequently made an allegation against them. Doesn’t matter if the man in question sinned no more and lived an exemplary life afterwards, or if the woman in question is fabricating out of malice. The allegation is believed on its face, automatically, and the man’s career is ruined, which is very disturbing.
