, Gillibrand wonders why no one is talking about due process for the seven other women who accused him.
piece focuses mostly on inconsistencies in Tweeden’s story and character references from friends of Franken. But on, Gillibrand argues that Franken’s other seven accusers are just as credible as Franken’s supporters argue he is:piece] only seemed to delve into one,” Gillibrand said. “Not the one about the person who served in the military, not the one about the congressional staffer, not the one about the former elected official, not the few who were groped at the state fair.
She also calls attention to the fact that, at the time, Franken himself seemed to agree that he needed to reassess his behavior: “He said, and I quote, ‘I crossed a line for some women and I know that and any number is too many.’ The fact that he said he had to be much more careful and sensitive in the future. Those were his words after the third allegation. So I think just picking apart one allegation is really harmful. Harmful to the larger moment that we’re in.”That “larger moment” includes the reaction to Me Too, which includes endless debates around whether the movement has gone “.
But in the wake of lost donors and low polling numbers, Gillibrand does seem eager to talk about possible “paths to redemption,” not for herself but for men like Mark Halperin, the political commentator accused of rubbing his erect penis on a colleague who just landed a new book deal, as well as Franken, who seems to be getting a second chance because his actions are perceived as more akin to Joe Biden cluelessness than Harvey Weinstein monstrousness.
