Has Sen. Kristen Gillibrand demanded that Rep Tony Gonzalez resign yet? Asking for Al Franken.

[Sympthsical]

16. I see the "blame the woman" narrative endures

Despite leadership and pretty much every other senator saying the same thing. Schumer leading the caucus into it, and Harris was absolutely in front of cameras then as well.

But the real issue was this - which people either forgot or pretend they never knew. The reason Gillibrand came in for some shit at the time is because she dared say that maybe Bill Clinton's past behavior with women wasn't great.

The lèse-majesté of it all.

And that's when the knives for her came out in behind the scenes Democratic circles. Oh, some insiders didn't like that one bit. So with Franken, they saw an opportunity to sandbag her as Single-Handedly Destroying a Democratic Man.

It shouldn't have been that easy to get people to swallow that narrative and carry it for years, but the Internet is a funny little place. Talking points from the right place get accepted wholesale.

When MeToo became, "MeToo . . . but not our people!"

It continues to be a look. A, dare I say, misogynistic one at that.
