women, he should expelled.

I am a father of three daughters and i have zero tolerence for men who abuse women.

However the circumstances of the accusations against the Senator from Minnestia smell like a political hit job to many of us.

If Schumer Gillibrand Sanders and Warren know something thst we don't, lets hear it.
Are there details that we are not privy to ?

I stand by the need for a hearing.
