Questioning (re: Franken)

Like too many of the women I know, I have been the unhappy recipient of more “unwanted attentions” than I care to enumerate, so I’m not about to challenge the veracity of the Franken accusation. That said, I would welcome an opportunity to have a conversation with his accuser.

Given her statement that his actions have bothered her for years, this is clearly not a memory that has suddenly emerged. The questions I would ask, then, are how did she manage to maintain her silence in order to support and vote for a man who has boasted of having done the same and worse to multiple women? And why is one excused while the other isn't? In truth, they are questions I would hope she asks herself.
