Really?
Shouldn't we want some kind of investigation to happen first, get folks on the record and get to the bottom of this?
Really. The combination of her story and the photo should be enough. I’m not calling for his conviction or any legal ramifications without due process, but IMO we should hold our legally elected officials to a really high standard on this, and other, issues.
That seems to put an awful lot of power in the hands of someone with evidence of wrongdoing and a compelling story. I tend to want either a complete investigation, or independent witnesses backing up the story, or other women (or men) in different situations alleging similar, or equally bad other things.
Weinstein - tons of accusers, rape accusations, abuse of power, etc
Moore - multiple accusers, inappropriate contact with underage girls
Spacey - tons of accusers, attempted sex with 14yo and a ton of other assault claims
Louis C.K. - multiple accusers, masturbating in front of women
Trump - tons of accusers and his own comments, walking in on underage girls in dressing room, rape, assault
....
way way down
....
Franken - accused of slipping tongue during consensual (pressured) kiss rehearsing for a risqué skit for troops, evidence of off-color photo pretending to grope a sleeping woman as a "joke"
Now I'm not meaning to demean the experience Leeann had and she probably legitimately feels violated by the slip of the tongue and the picture, but it's possible there are two sides to this story and that knowing more of the situation would change the perception of the events. Maybe not. But surely we should be open to that possibility.
Again, if more folks come out independently either confirming this story, or confirming stories similar to this with abuse from Franken, the questions in this specific case recede and a pretty clear pattern of behavior comes out and I would definitely agree with you. But until the questions recede, why the rush to condemnation?
