1. She said People make mistakes. She is not calling for him to step down.......

5. Mighty charitable of her

Maybe she could have waited until the Senate election was over before bringing the complaint.

7. Should Moores accusers have waited?

I know they are two totally different situations, but Moore is also complaining about the timing of the accusations.

2. She is doing a great job explaining the situation with Sen. Franken

and I applaud her. I think she does a great job speaking for many.

I hope there isn't a pattern with him, because I do believe he is a champion of progressives and underdogs. But if so, we must accept and pursue it.

3. I sense she's a liar

Milking this . Change the subject.
No Roy Moore
No Donald j. Maggot
No cutting taxes from billionaires
Drop dead right wing hack

8. Exaggeration...the item about her pics sounded petty..

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. and Slate is already calling for his resignation.

My concern - the ability of the public - the media - to "walk and chew gum at the same time" - the speed of news breaking and the quick shifts (fog of news being played out big time)....there is still Russia. Trump's failed trip. Moore. etc etc - but it quickly becomes an all out shift to the latest shiny object.

Everything and everyone is getting tested big time right now.

6. David Vitter didn't step down ...

And we know Moore won't. So Franken shouldn't either.

9. Information needed

I can't see news right now, but from what I am gathering from what I am seeing, this happened during a sketch in front of an audience, or a camera, during a performance by an entertainment troupe? Correct?

If so, that's a different animal entirely from being a "predator" like Moore, Weinstein, et al.
