Graham Platner has been forced out of Maine’s senate race. He is accused of sexual abuse. Although not tried or convicted, there does seem to be ample evidence that he could be found liable. Maine democratic leadership felt he should not represent the party.
But, what should be done about a politician who has actually been found liable (guilty) of sexual abuse? Should that person’s party demand that he resign? Oh, wait! The republicans have that opportunity.
President Trump has been ordered by the court to pay five million dollars to a woman for sexual assault. This went all the way to Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court and he still lost. This means in the eyes of the law, he is a sexual abuser, but not in the eyes of the “we believe in the rule of law except for anything Trump does,” republicans.
The republican leadership villainizes Platner, but Trump is a Christian sent by God. WOW! Is there a patron saint of hypocrisy?
