'Progressives' aren't much better when it comes to sexism.

35. It's my understanding that Gillibrand led the charge, and

the next were other women senators. FINALLY, some of the men piled on, not to be left behind or criticized for their inaction. I don't believe Bernie ever did. I saw a report that he was asked about it yesterday and basically deflected the question.

It was also Gillibrand's (IMO) incredibly stupid -- or just terribly wrongheaded -- comments that were on all the news reports of it -- she became the face of the call for Franken to step down.

ONLY the women are to blame? I didn't see that AT ALL. And as a woman myself I'm particularly sensitive to it. I also spent the whole darned day here because I was so upset with the goings on myself.

I absolutely blame her for a lot of it because the difference between harassment, groping, assault and so forth ARE important and bit "the wrong conversation" at all -- just the wrong QUESTION. She, as I said, led the charge, and was too eager to throw a great Senator under the bus without sufficient credible evidence. I don't blame her because she's a woman, I blame her because she was so intemperate and unfair.
