I had no idea 22 women have accused him of sexual harassment.


I thought it was only that one incident at the bar.

Link? I have never met the man but he is considered a real nice guy.

I always felt like he was a nice guy too.

I have a colleagues that have worked with Cuba in the past. Have never heard a bad word. Who knows people change...

bars/night clubs..... groping there is kinda common, no? Peeps get drunk, wear sexy clothes, the hunt is on, etc. I'm not saying it's cool, if unwanted, but..... places where intoxication is a thing... brains don't work well.

Groping in restaurants is a bit dodgy though. Either he has a major issues misreading signs, or he's got a donald trump syndrome (grab them by the pussy).
But the bars/night clubs.... next thing you know, strippers will come out and claim that he groped them, which.... err...he probably did, like everyone else.

I get your point. But when there's 22 women, there's something going wrong there.

reply

Could be - the restaurant bits seem off
Otherwise, I know peeps whose head goes sideways when they drink a bit of alcohol.
Allegations against Biden seem by far more serious in comparison.

"there 22 women, there's something going wrong there"

This is generally the lowest common denominator in terms of a lack of critical thinking that scumbag lawyers rely upon to get poorly informed people to accept their narrative as more credible than the actual evidence (or lack there of) often suggests. "Never mind the evidence, I mean would 22 women lie/grossly exaggerate? " If the prospect of a nice settlement pay day was on the table then you bet you ass they would.

reply

You really think 22 women from different cities and states got into contact with each other and concocted a plan to take him down?

reply

No. It's the sleazy lawyers organizing it. In these kinds of "Taking all comers/No scrutiny necessary" cases, people are enticed via the media to "come forward" by dangling the prospect of a lawsuit payout.

reply

But they would still need to prove it. Harvey Weinstein isn't in jail because 60 women accused him.

reply

Not quite. There was actually strong evidence (i.e. caught on video) in at least some of the Weinstein allegations. On the other hand you have a case like Cosby where he gets convicted, pretty much exclusively based on he said, she said from like 30 years earlier.

reply

As expected, the incel jumps in to defend a rapist then accuses 22 women of lying!

reply

Don’t be racist by drawing attention to black celebrity molesters.

You caught me.
