You're right, it's no surprise.  I've been waiting for the flood of Liberal women taking shots at Rep lawmakers to deflect attention from the tsunami of liberal Hollywood fems accusing truly guilty creeps like Weinstein. What I am surprised about is that it took so long.  In this case the accusers are all of the same stripe, liberal, Dems, no proof in the offing, hoping the accusation will suffice as conviction.  That's what's really sad, along with the compulsion to jump on the bandwagon and try to reap political hay with a current scandal on their side of the fence.  When they come with real proof then they will receive the attention deserved.

YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER SPEAK TO A REPRESSIVE LIBERAL

I can only warn people, COMMUNICATE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Oh wow... Back to blaming the female victims again I see. Some things never change. It's hard to imagine why a woman might not feel comfortable coming telling her story.  Why is it that Weinstein is "truly guilty" while these state legislators will require "real proof"?

You have no proof of the accusations so that renders the argument specious.  Again and as usual, no cigar. (Unless your name is Monica)

Which accusations have no proof? Agsinst Weinstein or the SD legislature?

The #MeToo movement is what inspired former Sen. Angie Buhl O'Donnell, D-Sioux Falls, to go public last week about an interaction with former House Majority Leader Brian Gosch, who commented on her breasts and asked her for a hug. Gosch said the comments were made in jest and weren't meant to make her feel uncomfortable.

After Buhl O'Donnell posted her story to social media, lobbyist Samantha Spawn shared her account of being raped earlier this year by a Capitol employee. Spawn said the man followed her to her Pierre hotel room after a lobbying event.

Where is the actual proof of rape as claimed by Smanatha Spawn?  Don't you think the actual police report would be the best possible proof instead of a post on Facebook?

Having said that I must agree in part with the comments of Rep Eddie Bernice Johnson and to paraphrase, women do have the responsibility to dress appropriately for the position employed.  

(ANOTHER POINT TO BE MADE, NOT PARAPHRASING) If some women dress in the manner of prostitutes in the Pigalle section of Paris there is expectation to be the subject of an off color remark.

However, that does not erase the responsibility of the male to keep his mouth shut and hands to himself.
