Joe Biden has been accused of kissing a woman on her head, inappropriately. Disappointing situation. Democrats should respond and deal with it, and I think they will.
Trump supporters cannot speak to this. You gave up that right when you supported (and still support) a president with his history. When the President you support has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault, you don't get to condemn others who have been accused.
When you support a President who bragged about kissing women without their consent, and bragged about watching women change clothes during a beauty pageant, and bragged about grabbing women by the p***y, you don't get to say anything about anyone else accused of sexual misconduct.
welcome to the wonderful world of real people doing real things that are really dumb, awful, weird, terrible, etc. careful about saying who is allowed to say or have opionions. that is not the todd i know. here is the case and point (keep in mind i am no defender of this president or any other president, but i'm willing to call good and bad no matter who the president is): joe biden said some racist stuff about black politicians 11 - ELEVEN - years ago - a short time before he became VP. i think the world you might be demanding is a dangerous one to live in - more dangerous than the current one. biden was fine as a VP. but here is the racist thing he said, about 100% of the black politicians... EVER... until he met obama, who met his (biden's) personal standards. this is NOT to obfuscate but rather to challenge the statement that onlhy certain people are allowed to speak. i would like you to reconsider that demand (though it doesn't actually apply to me this time). watch here - 40 seconds total: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJSfBKQA_KQ
ReplyDeleteMy brother--I hear you. I don't want to come across as promoting censorship. Anyone can speak. But supporters of Trump cannot speak with any credibility when it comes to these types of accusations toward others. Doing so is massively hypocritical.
DeleteI don't think it is quite fair to lump all Republicans with Trump supporters. Not every Republican supported or supports now Trump. Furthermore, Republicans are just as much able to speak to this issue as their Democratic colleagues.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Cliff. I took out "Republicans."
