This is a welcome, long overdue article.

Disgraced Deborah Wasserman-Schultz, forced to resign as DNC Chairwoman because she actively conspired to deny a white Jewish man the chance to win the Democratic ticket, arguably because she had already decided that Hilary Clinton, a woman, was the right choice, did not resign her nomination to run for Florida’s 23rd Congressional seat.

If any male Democrat had had the temerity to conspire with other men to deny a woman the chance to win the Presidential ticket, he would have soon found himself minus his manhood and, while banished to obscurity forever, would have had to resign from the party and refuse his nomination.

Disgraced and unapologetic Deborah Wasserman-Schultz, who had the audacity to call for Franken’s resignation, was one of the first women to be interviewed after his resignation.

He had to go, she said.

How galling and how entitled and how arrogant and how hypocritical.

By actively thwarting the democratic process within her own party, she is is one of the main factors behind Trump’s ascendancy to the Presidency: she divided her caucus.

How did she get away with it? Because as a woman she could.

The #Metoo movement, like all moral panics, fuelled in part by Identity Politics, needs the ‘folk devils’, in this case white men, to be banished, if not hanged, and Al Franken was no exception.

And damn it, not one interviewer asked the tear-stained Tweeden if there was a harassment policy with the USO, if she had contacted them and lodged a complaint.

Did she even speak to Franken?

Hardly any raised the issue of her employment with Fox news and here I quote: “Tweeden hosted many segments of the Fox Sports Net show Bluetorch TV.”

None asked what it was like to be in a COMBAT ZONE entertaining young men and women on a worthy cause with a man like Franken, who like her was willing to risk his life in order to do so.

Hardly any dared to ask her if her support of Trump, lamenting the fact that he did not run for the Republican nomination in 2012, had anything to do with raising the issue of sexual harassment against one of the best Democratic Senators.

As a Canadian, I was appalled at the rush to deny Al Franken the opportunity to defend himself.

There is much danger in all movements which, while purporting to represent the moral high ground in a worthy cause, forget just like Deborah Wasserman-Schultz did, that the process is the prize.

And with the accusations currently being levelled at Joe Biden, it would appear that the #Metoo movement has not learned a single thing.
