So now let's get further into what's going on with Eugene. Carol, I told you yesterday
that once again, Donald Trump has been accused of rape. I don't know how many total rape
and sexual assault allegations this makes. I read one piece that says Eg and Carol is
number 16. Uh, another that says she's number 13. Others say 17. I don't know what the answer
is, but the latest accuser is Eg and Carol who says that Donald Trump raped her in new
New York City department store in the late 1990s she goes into specific and very explicit
detail about it. Somehow this garnered very little corporate media coverage. Nothing I
was able to find on the Sunday morning talk shows two days ago. Only a little bit of coverage
yesterday, Joe Biden standing too close to a woman apparently deserved a ton of coverage,
but yet another accuser who says the president of the United States raped me gets relatively
little coverage and unfortunately, and this leads to what I was talking about earlier,
that accuser aging Carol has now started to receive death threats as was described to
a CNN reporter yesterday when Joe Biden stands too close to a woman, Joe Biden is the problem.
According to the right wing Trumpists when a woman accuses Donald Trump of rape, the
woman who says she was raped is the problem to those exact same Trumpists. And this is
why there's a fundamental problem in fighting people for whom this is just sport. I talked
about this last week. We can't stoop to their level because it's an immoral level, but at
a certain point we also need to win and take them out of power. So look at the double standard
with the Al Franken and the Roy Moore situations. By the way, Roy, Roy water's running again
and we'll talk about that soon. Maybe later on this week when Al Franken was involved
in an arguably tasteless joke involving of female reporter and a flak jacket, Republicans
demanded that Al Franken resign and frank and did resign after even some Democrats said
she should probably go and he resigned his seat from the u s senate.
In retrospect, there are many people now on the left who say, you know, given all the
stuff that Republicans have excused, it's not to just totally clear that Al Franken
should have resigned, but he did resign. Meanwhile, you had Republican candidate for us Senate
from Alabama, Roy Moore, who was accused of multiple instances of sexual assault, including
against teenage girls, and he received 48.3% of the vote from Alabama voters. He lost by
under 22,000 votes. Democrats have plenty of scumbags, but the rules are not even remotely
the same for how Republicans and Democrats handle this stuff. Who was defending Anthony
Wiener, a Democrat who is caught multiple times sexting with various women. Now, I don't
even remember what I believe. One of them was under age, uh, who was defending John
Edwards, a Democrat for his mistress fiasco, the details of which, I don't even remember
now. I'm sure you can find someone in a country of 340 million people.
Certainly there were some people defending Anthony Wiener and John Edwards, but it was
few and far between Newt Gingrich's affairs while his wife had cancer, Donald Trump's
affairs and 1516, 17 sexual assault allegations. Roy Moore, serial accused sex assault or gets
48% of the vote. How do we defeat people who have no rules and see this only as the sport
of wins and losses and not as real people and real life? I don't know the answer. Okay.
But at a certain point, we've got to start winning. Uh, and this is, you know, I'm not
playing coy and saying, Oh damn, Democrats are victims of their own morality and upstairs
there's plenty of scumbags, uh, who are in power. There's plenty of scumbags who defend
those in power, who do bad things on the left, but they're playing by different rules at
this point in time. So I don't know what the answer is, but it's abundantly clear that
Trump supporters are not going to be influenced by allegation after allegation after allegation.
Uh, and one way or another, this is a guy who has to be removed, but remember that this
is a symptom, okay. The fact that evangelicals voted for him, even though he goes against
everything, they claim to stand for the fact that they are totally unwilling to just say,
Hey, this has to stop. This is not a good guy. Uh, it is not something that is going
to go away if and when Donald Trump is removed from office or leaves office in a year and
a half or five and a half years. And this is a bigger sort of course inning of the dialogue
coarsening of morality that we are going to at some point need to deal with and I genuinely
don't know what the answer is. If you have ideas, let us know. We'll have a question
about this. A poll question on the David Pakman show Instagram page later on today or maybe
later this week. That's at David Pakman show on Instagram. And while you're there, follow
me. I'm at David Pakman on Instagram. Quick break back after this to talk about
which centrist Democrats should be the top two priorities to primary with more progressive
challengers. That's coming up next, the David Pakman show@davidpakman.com
