He should be held accountable for it as well as his alleged abuse of women. One doesn't excuse or distract from the other. By the way, if those accusations sound familiar, they should because the recent ex-occupant of the White House has been dealing with the same issues. Well, except for the catching flak from his own party part. We should hold the ex-president as accountable as the governor of New York and vice versa. 


You're only addressing Kavanaugh. All else being equal, the quantity of accusations lends credence to the idea of "where there's smoke there's fire". So there's probably the most doubt behind Kavanaugh's accusations as there were only 3. But are you saying Ford wasn't credible because she couldn't remember a few exact details of her claimed assault? If so, maybe you should read up a little since that's not an uncommon phenomena for victims of sexual assault. 

Going a little further on the smoke and fire analogy, the ex-President is probably the most likely to have committed those offenses. Even if you do throw out the fact that he's casually admitted to sexual assault on tape, you should at least be willing to hold these people to the same ethical standards, regardless of party.

Ford wasn't credible because she couldn't remember any details. No one could corroborate her claims about that day - even the people she says were there. It was a setup from the get go. 

I'll agree on the smoke and fire analogy. My beef is one side is pursued relentlessly while the other is given a pass. Cuomo is getting the business because he has so much baggage that it's difficult to ignore. You can be certain that if he were of another political stripe the coverage would be nonstop.
