With the 3rd threat of sexual misconduct in the VA executive branch, I think...

... VA should just declare the situation too complex to deal with and move on. I think having to replace 3 levels of the executive branch tips the scales in favor of tending to other business in the state. This is not to suggest that sexual misconduct is not serious, just that it's OK to bring perspective to things.

I fully realize that there are probably just as many female racists as male, but I can't help but notice that we aren't hearing about women in blackface or women caught up in sexual scandals.

....just let it go? It's all very complex so we should just not deal with it and move on. Can you imagine if we had to replace both a president AND a vice president?

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.
