exactly where I stand.
I stand in a place that makes me suspicious of accusers whose story falls apart within minutes of theyre telling it. Thats what happened with Tweedon, Frankens first accuser. She was proven to be lying about many points that were key to the credibility of her tale.
Im standing in a place that makes me suspicious of the second accuser, who tried to pass off a photo of herself with Franken as some kind of evidence of sexual misconduct an alleged groping incident carried out in front of her own husband, and in front of countless fair attendees armed with cameras.
And then there are the anonymous accusers. They should be found credible based on what? Theyre say-so, absent any other evidence?
Not all women who make such accusations are truthful. And in this case, some Democrats are more than willing to take them at their word alone, without any investigation into the facts whatsoever.
Im not seeing much of a difference between those who dismiss an accusers story out-of-hand and those who dismiss an accuseds story out-of-hand.
Justice is not served by doing either, nor is the truth.
