I do not pay close attention to any of these old stories. (And to be fair, I also did not pay close attention to the stories of Hillary Clinton’s alleged malfeasance while in the State Department, nor to the harassment, abuse and rape charges brought against her husband before or while he was president, either. I know that the charges were made, and I suppose there is a good chance that there is merit to all of them – but only a full and fair investigation or a proper trial can determine whether that is really so.)
But that last sentence about President Clinton is somewhat telling – or should be to a relatively disinterested observer.
I don’t know what the charges are against the current sitting president. But “harassment” and “abuse” are not necessarily the same thing, and neither of them carries the weight of a charge of “rape” and “rape of an underage victim” is more serious, still.
Aside from that, what @josie said is also true. Many times charges are exaggerated by others who have no specific concern for the victim, but only want to score points against the accused individual – and by the same token, many charges that have complete merit are also brushed aside – also by people with no interest in justice (or victims) – but who only seek to advance a competing political agenda.
I’d be more apt to take seriously those who strive to keep all dishonorable people away from high political office – or who work to limit the political power of anyone who might be in any office. Too bad there aren’t many of either kinds of folks around.
