I have a name to name Sen. Johnson (re his 2016 re-election effort): “Toast.”

If Jim Hoft weren’t alive, Ron Johnson would be the stupidest man on the Internet.

Why does every famous person have to write a book? I care about how this Senator votes not where she went to school or who her parents were. Book publishers always push the “sexiest” part to get a headline. If she had something to say on this subject years ago she should have mentioned it. Her crusade against harassment in the military is excellent and she should have used this personal experience to buttress her argument.
Ron Johnson, an older white male, has never seen nor been the victim of any sexual harassment. I guess that means it’s never happened!

The people that harassed her already know who they are. Honorable men would come forward on their own and apologize publicly. The question becomes are these men honorable do they have what it takes to admit a mistake or are they conservative Christians?

I guess that was his GOP way of saying that he didn’t do it.
I’m not on board with the idea that you can’t mention a life event in a book if you haven’t already gone public with the event.

I don’t know. Louis Gohmert is still out there.

It’s just his way of saying “Pics or It Didn’t Happen”. Anything to discredit any statement made by any Democratic politician.

It would have fit in very well with her hearings on sexual harassment in the military. That was the time to go public.
“Well, if you’re gonna throw out accusations, my guess is, you probably ought to name names,” Johnson said.
LOL. The GOP has accused Obamacare of being a nuclear train wreck wiping out the coverage of millions of Americans and ruining healthcare for all the rest – and the GOP can’t even find an honest victim.

We disagree on that, amicably.
This guy knows that Hillary’s coattails are gonna sweep him right out of office in 2016.
Desperately seeking logic to his statements… He hasn’t seen or experienced it… Jealous?
They have a right to defend themselves… NOT if they are not named!
A ploy by Dems to help Hillary… Only Repubs think in such conniving ways.
As soon as I saw the first three words of this article, I knew it was going to be something stupid. Stupid is as Johnson does.

Not a good way to endear oneself to female voters, Sen. Johnson. So she should have come forward at the time? Look at the saga of Anita Hill. She would have been ridiculed by all her male colleagues. Even Democratic senators voted for Judge Thomas’s confirmation.
Women are a minority and unless you get it on tape, you are ridiculed.
She REALLY needs TO NAMe NAMes SO that We cAN point OUT tHAt she IS nOT a LIAr but A bitCH!!!1!!!one!!!1!!!11111

No reason to “give people a chance to defend themselves” if you’re not identifying any attackers.
But the fact that this comment comes from a GOP Senator is not surprising. It stems from an inability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, which seems to be a Republican failing. I think it takes a lot of gall for an old white man to judge the sexual harassment a woman gets from her Senate colleagues.

Here’s a thought, how about this fraud from Wisconsin tell his fellow male Senate members to step forward and man up and admit if they were one of the Senate colleagues that Senator Gillibrand was talking about. Certainly they remember as well as Senator Gillibrand…and it not then that alone says something about how often they must do/say something considered vulgar by women.
