This not a left or right question but just something I’ve been pondering.
Celebs are sharing their own stories of sexual assault in support of Dr Ford. What about the woman who claimed they where assaulted by Bill Clinton (more corroborated evidence then the Ford/Kavanaugh hearing). Hollywood loved him and still does. What about the ex girlfriend who was allegedly abused by Keith Ellison? It’s just seems a bit hypocritical.
Your thoughts?

The response to Ellison’s ex-gf’s claims:

Didn’t they stand and clap for a known child rapist? That should answer your question. Hollywood actors/actresses are mostly not bright. They stick with their own. They support whatever cause that brings in money. They are irrelevant.

because they would do whatever Hillary Clinton told them to do or think. She accused the victims of lying to protect her man. Any updates on her decision to run in 2020?

Democrats are afraid of Keith Ellison, don't blame them, he's scary, what woman wants to get dragged by their feet out of their own bedroom. Becoming the Attorney General of a state sounds fine to Democrats I guess.

This is a very good question.

Even as someone who hates Trump and isn't too conservative, I think it is hypocritical.

There's enough hypocrisy to go around on both sides of the aisle.

Your thoughts?
1. Media both left and right made the Clinton issue about Monica, which was consentual on all levels

2. Because the charge against Ellison is that he cheated on his girlfriend, which she defined as abuse .

Hope I helped you understand.

It is more than a bit hypocritical.

You are confused on both counts. Nobody cared about Clinton's consensual sex. But lying under oath is a different matter.

And Ellison abused his girlfriend, not cheated on her.

Hope I helped you understand.
