Since there seems to be no news that the media wants to cover other than sexual harassment charges or some way to attack President Trump, I thought it might be worth updating today's developments.
1. A fifth woman has come forward to accuse senator Al Franken, the Minnesota Democrat, of groping her. She was in the military when Franken came to her base on a USO tour about a decade ago. When she asked if she could take a picture with Franken, he put his arm around her and grabbed her breast. She says she was so shocked that she froze but now that all the other stories have come out she wants to add hers to the list. There's no reaction from the Senate or the Democrat Party.
2. Matt Lauer says he's sorry. Maybe I missed something, but one woman claims he forced her to have sex. Sorry doesn't cut it when what happened qualifies as rape. We will have to wait for all the facts to come out.
3. Representative John Conyers says he has not decided to retire from the House, contrary to reports. James Clyburn, a prominent Democrat member of the Congressional Black Caucus announced that he is suspicious of the charges against Conyers because all the women involved are white. Clyburn also compared the women accusing Conyers to a woman who murdered her children but first told police that a black man had done it. Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat leader, said a few days ago that Conyers was an icon and that she didn't know who any of the accusers are. Now, she says she spoke to one of the accusers and sees no reason not to believe her. (I'm waiting for the guy from the Congressional Black Caucus to point out the Pelosi is white.)
4. In Alabama, Roy Moore, the GOP senate candidate has moved back into the lead in the polls against the Democrat in the special election to be held in two weeks. Moore continues to deny the validity of the claims of three women who accuse him of wrongdoing 40 years ago. Gloria Allred, attorney for one of the women, continues to refuse to produce the yearbook supposedly signed by Moore 40 years ago, a signature that Moore's people say is a forgery. Testing that signature would go a long way towards determining if the woman's story is true.
5. CNN fired a senior producer yesterday for misconduct. It's not even worth going into the details. This is the 16th or 17th prominent liberal media/political person caught up in the sexual harassment storm. So far Moore is the only Republican named. The media used to focus only on him, but now there are just too many Democrats/liberals to ignore.
We will have to wait for today's list until later. No doubt there will be a few more added by tonight.
