The sexual harassment tsunami continues to drown democrats

democrats asked for this and they are getting it. Bigly. They blasted Trump for things he said to Billy Bush which were supposed to be private. They thought they had him. They made a yuge issue of it. A referendum was held and the voters spoke. Trump prevailed.

Then came Harvey Weinstein.

And the oceans loomed. The accusations trickled out at first and have only grown in volume. They have reached tsunami level and have swamped primarily the protected gated enclave of DNCville.

And it is nothing less than a pleasure to watch this spectacle.

That sanctimonious dirtbag Al Franken says he won't resign despite saying Anthony Weiner's resignation was "the right thing to do."

He (Vitter) was reelected by the people of Louisiana so I think he should still be in the Senate. I do think there was a bit of sort of weird hypocrisy with such loud calling for Weiner’s resignation in light of the circumstances which there was all this visual evidence which was unpleasant to see… and obviously what he did I thought was.. um.. you know…. I think that his resig.., I think resigning was probably the right thing to do. But, there’s a lot of, guess what, hypocrisy there.

At Mediaite there was some whining about Franken not really committing "grope-grope" as the imbecilic Whoopi Goldberg might say, but the media fails to recall that Franken shoved his tongue down Leann Tweeden's throat, which is sexual assault, i.e. penetration.

Then there's John Conyers, the "icon", who apparently has a history of taking advantage of women:

Deanna Maher says that while she was chief of staff for Conyers from 1997 to 2005, the congressman propositioned her three times, which included unwanted touching and inappropriate advances in a speeding car.

The first incident occurred in 1997, shortly after she had been hired, during a Congressional Black Caucus event. “I didn’t have a room, and he had me put in his hotel suite,” Maher said. She rejected his offer to share his Washington, D.C. Grand Hyatt hotel suite and have sex.

Conyers, who is now 88, then touched her without her consent in a car in 1998 while driving to the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

“He was trying to feel me up with his right hand,” Maher said. “I kept pushing his hand away. Then he put his hand on my neck and started trying to tickle me. We were on I-75, and he was driving erratically. I was saved by the bell because we got pulled over by the police for the way he was driving.”

Conyers touched her legs under her dress in 1999 at a meeting with pastors in Highland Park. Conyers “put his hand up my dress and whispered in my ear, ‘I didn’t know you had such great legs.'” Maher said.

Nancy Pelosi has quick to rush to Conyers' defense but apparently got cold feet as more accusers surfaced. She was at first willing to give Conyers a pass on his abuse of women because of his "iconic" status. Now she's not so sure icons are worth throwing yourself on the fire and we're back to the "believing women" thing:

“This afternoon, I spoke with Melanie Sloan who worked for Congressman Conyers on the Judiciary Committee in the mid-1990s,” Pelosi said in the statement. “Ms. Sloan told me that she had publicly discussed distressing experiences while on his staff. I find the behavior Ms. Sloan described unacceptable and disappointing. I believe what Ms. Sloan has told me.”

We're now at the number five vis-a-vis Conyers accusers and we're nowhere near done.

Another loud mouth Trump critic, Rep. Al Green slept with a allegedly drug addicted staffer, perhaps because she was compromised:

Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green had sex with a staffer who he said was a drug addict and then sued her when she threatened to go public with claims she suffered a hostile work environment, saying he “will not be extorted or blackmailed.”

Lucinda Daniels, his onetime district director, claimed she suffered a hostile work environment, claimed sexual harassment and demanded $1.8 million. Green sued her, saying she was using their sexual relationship to shake him down at the behest of other unnamed conspirators.

Then he sued her.

Then there's another big mouth from the South, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva. He used $50,000 of taxpayer money to shut up a victim of the hostile environment allegedly Grijalva created:
