15. OTOH, even if the accusations are proven,

they are not accusations of assault. They consist of things he said. The women who were offended have not accused him of a quid pro quo offer or of retaliation for disliking his verbal comments.

He should not have done it, but it is not something to resign over.

However, it is NY Dems who are pushing him to resign now. Makes me wonder why.
