McConnell is right. That is a function of the Senate ethics panel.

Feels weird to totally agree with Mitch McConnell about something.

Do they apply the Bill “Impeach Him” Clinton standard or the D “Locker Room Talk” Trump standard?

I don’t condone sexual harassment or assault but McConnell’s opportunism reeks of false equivalency. If they did a thorough background check on every sitting member of Congress and candidate for public office they could easily reduce government to the size where they can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub. Let’s start with the current occupant.

McConnell wasted no time in making that call.

It is the tax bill and the repeal of Obama care that are jet fueling that action. It may blow up on the turtle.

Meanwhile, Sessions enjoys his AG-ship sans charges despite demonstrable perjury.

If true he is no different than any other offender.

Should be looked at and he likely should step down in the end honestly. I have not seen the pictures or anything yet. I mean it is something nobody should do. Unless you are the president or a senator from AL apparently.

And Hillary should be investigated as well, because there are serious charges against her.

McConnell: “Regardless of party, harassment and assault are completely unacceptable—in the workplace or anywhere else.”

Absolutely!

Now, having established that…

Where’s his statement about the fifteen times Trump has been accused of “harassment and assault”?

Crickets – unless the press and Dems relentlessly hammer his partisan hypocrisy.

This is only the first of shoes like this to drop. This centipede has many many legs.

So true, he should get the same punishment the justice system would impose on a violent serial rapist. All offenders are alike.

AND, this will enable the imbecile to blend quietly into the background, a la his Roy Moore behavior. Where’s the tweet, Don? AND let the GOP quietly disassemble our tax system and health care.

You haven’t looked at it or seen pictures or anything yet. But he should step down in the end, because nobody should do it. That thing that you don’t know about.
