He should not resign.
I am no fan of the man, to put it mildly, but this nonsense about sexual misconduct more than ten years ago has got to stop.
I’ve said for decades that if men had a 300 year lifespan that our founding fathers would be ineligible for modern public office because they owned slaves. And that would be a travesty.
Yeah but look at the double standard: Can you imagine the hell that would erupt if that was a photo of Roy Moore grabbing her boobs or Trump?
Case in point, Richard Nixon, who resigned rather than have the country go through a horribly divisive impeachment process.
That’s silly
Play to win.
I’m with you. Juvenile antics do not qualify as rape or sexual assault. I’ve never liked that turd, but he’s not a predator like BC.
you’ve given two of the stupidest answers so far this morning
why don’t you stop for a little while.
Remember that half the population is a protected group.
I think the issue is the retirement of the double standard, which is to say that if a republican accused of this has to go, than so does a democrat.
As for Cosby and his ilk, and Hollywood eating its own, its another example of all the virtue signaling backdropped on all of this mishagas. Gays are no better either, and in some ways worse.
If this gets them out of the business of telling us how to live. I’m for it.
Not just ten years ago, but ongoing and continuing instances now appear to be popping up.
The widely publicized picture of Al Gropen, er, Franken, is not the only example of his indiscretions, and there is NO verifiable demonstration of regret or remorse. Sure, there may a few uncomfortable moments before the Ethics Committee, but aside from maybe stern looks from the members, there shall be no lasting consequences.
Call me an objectifying male, but is what he did really all that bad anyways? He put his hands on a girls breasts while asleep for a photo. Certainly inappropriate, but worth resigning over? I just don’t know.
Really?
“Pro-abortion Senator Al Franken fantasized about raping news anchor, ‘joked’ about child rape”

Just how far beneath the barrel is the standard for “conservatism”, anyhow?
Louis Gates, Jr. Probably thinks that. In every one of his shows he either guilts the White person about slavery or mentions the black persons slave past.
Some of what Franken did was consensual and/or was supposed to be humorous at the time. Women who were adults when they were “groped,” who said nothing within a few years should be ignored. You are right, ten years is over the top.
