On the brightside, he basically immediately apologized about it and asked for an investigation. Also the 1 person who made the allegation accepted the apology.

No denial or deflections going on.

YAAAY! THAT MAKES HIS SEXUAL ASSAULT OKAY!!!!

Also, he literally never said "I'm sorry," instead choosing to say that "I remember the events differently."

He's a fucking piece of shit, and always has been.

I didn't say that the sexual assault was okay. Be less of a partisan shill.

Secondly, he's owning up to his actions far more than any Rs have lately so I can at the very respect him for how he acted now.

He denied forcing himself on her, and called the picture "a joke." That's "owning up" to you?

Is this the standard we're accepting now?

Just because he owned up to it doesn't make him any less of a piece of shit than guys like Moore.

Non of its ok. Apology or not.

I like how Trump immediately went to twitter and made a bunch of jokes about the assault but has remained completely silent about Moore

The first thing I want to do is apologize: to Leeann, to everyone else who was part of that tour, to everyone who has worked for me, to everyone I represent, and to everyone who counts on me to be an ally and supporter and champion of women. There's more I want to say, but the first and most important thingand if it's the only thing you care to hear, that's fineis: I'm sorry.


You absolute fucking hack.

I don't even know why I responded to this. I even had to take the guy off ignore to do this, but Jesus that comment made me angry.

I would much rather see people own up to their actions than deny it. I still haven't said sexual assault is okay.

Yeah, Bill Clinton was a sexual deviant. Glad you libs are finally holding him accountable.

Was that before or after his tweet where he said EXACTLY what I posted?

I missed this. Doesn't change the fact that his previous tweet PROVES THIS TO BE BULLSHIT PR.

You're cutting him slack because he apologized.

He shouldn't be rewarded or commended for apologizing. Or given a pass.

The problem I have is that everyone is quick to point fingers at someone and when someone on their "team" gets nabbed all of a sudden it's mental gymnastics.

Identity politics and the two party system is a cancer.

I really don't care what side he is on. I respect that he came clean about it and is willing to be investigated for it. He still did something shitty and should face consequences for it.

Right now you are the one trying to make this into identity politics.
