In reply to the discussion: Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her [View all]BComplex
(10,062 posts)Women are people, and I've known a couple who have lied their asses off about just this type of thing, which REALLY pisses me off, because of the ones whose lives were totally changed because they really were overpowered and molested.
She might be telling the truth. Or there might be a reason she's telling it all of a sudden about 12 weeks before early voting starts. Either way, I don't like the way this smells, and how quickly MSNBC, Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and the usual suspects jumped on this like a chicken on a June bug, calling for him to step down....like they jumped on Biden to step down and gave Kamala Harris, what, 110 days to prepare a campaign? WTF is wrong with our party?
We have two REPUBLICAN supreme court justices who have been accused of rape (under oath), and a REPUBLICAN president who has been convicted of defamation of his rape victim. We have a total criminal running for senate in Texas! But that's ok. They're republicans.
And since we're so much better than them, we fall down the minute we get hit, and every one of us feels the shame. We STAY hit. The republicans never got that part. That's why they control the country and the world at the moment. Graham Platner is a fighter, and we need about 55 of them in the Senate and about 300 of them in the House.
I hope this victim feels better getting all this off her chest after 5 years.
