Amen to that! And stand up to those who want to take down Al Franken because of politics ..... or even worse democrats who are trying to show parity at the expense of a great senator. I would say this if it was John McCain. All transgressions are not created equal!!!!!

Thank you for clearly verbalizing what I’ve been grappling with in the last while.

They don’t deserve to be celebrated either. All a woman has to do is get old or fat and she’s invisible. Excuse me if I don’t have time or inclination to support or campaign for a sexual harassers rights.

Seeing Al F photo; dumb yes but my mind went to Steve Martin; Dead Men DWP. Admit I laughed at that scene; no politics for me

Especially the ones who are falsely accused by those with evil ulterior motives!
Replying to @marwilliamson
True, but let us be sure that our motivation to differentiate is not political.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Asking for some perspective? Wise.

So true every case is individual. Unfortunately everything is put under one label or in one box due to time. People seem even more rushed now & #time is in short supply. 🤔
