Whitmer: Not All Sexual Assault Claims Are 'Equal'
Townhall ^ | 5/04/20 | Leah Barkoukis

Many Democrats who once loudly proclaimed that we must believe all women when it comes to sexual assault allegations are now changing their tune. Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a potential vice presidential pick, is one of them.

CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Whitmer on Sunday why she believes Joe Biden’s denial of the alleged assault but did not extend the same courtesy to Justice Brett Kavanaugh over allegations from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

“Just because you’re a survivor doesn’t mean that every claim is equal,” she said.

“I have read a lot about this current allegation, I know Joe Biden, and I’ve watched his defense and there’s not a pattern that goes into this and I think for these reasons, I’m very comfortable that Joe Biden is who he says he is,” she said on “State of the Union.”

“And you know what? That’s all I’m going to say about it. I really resent the fact that every time a case comes up all of us survivors have to weigh in. It is reopening wounds and it is, take us at our word, ask us for our opinion, and let’s move on.”

You all seem surprised. Sexual politics hit the fork in the road during the Clinton era.

Only those against Republicans are true; Democrats, not so much.

Believe all women.......but only when they make accusations against Republicans - never when they make accusations against Democrats.

If she can’t see a pattern in Biden’s behavior, then she’s too stupid to be running anything.

>>>Why should anyone believe Whitler’s claim?<<<

Because they’re real and they’re spectacular?

Women who accuse democrats of sexual assault are animal abusers. They know this behavior will cause the death of their cats.

Same thing happened with Bill Clinton only a few months after they shut the country down harassing Clarence Thomas. We all remember Ted Kennedy. This isn’t new. I’m just amazed the stupid GOP lets them call the shots on everything.

“Whitmer: Not All Sexual Assault Claims Are ‘Equal’”

That’s exactly right, Gretchen, because some pigs are more equal than other pigs ...

I did a couple searches and didn’t see anything about Whitmer offering evidence...do you have a source?
