Katie Hill and Liberal Hypocrisy

Katie Hill was credibly accused of sexual misconduct. He is accused (and seems to admit) having sex with a staffer (which is an ethics violation). There is a charge that she paid off said staffer. She ducked out of the ethics investigation (which would have been done by her own political party).

Like so many people before her who have been accused of sexual misconduct. She hasn't admitted to doing anything wrong. She is blaming the press. She is blaming her ex-husband. I haven't seen her take any responsibility for her actions.

1. If she believes she is innocent she should take the responsibility to fight it. Kavanaugh fought accusations against him. So did Bill Clinton. The only reason for her not to fight is that she is afraid of what might come out in the investigation.

2. She is claiming that no man would face what she is facing. Of course Anthony Weiner faced exactly that. Aziz Ansari didn't have pictures, but he did have an embarrassing description of his sex life prominently published. Of course, Larry Craig got pretty publicly outed.

Katie Hill is the example of hyprocrisy. She has a point that her pictures should not have been published... but she is wrong to claim that this doesn't happen to men. If you think pictures of Rudy Giulliani, Marco Rubio or Adam Schiff smoking a bong while naked wouldn't be published... you are nuts.

However she was caught committing sexual misconduct. If you believe in equality, she should face the same public shaming as everyone else from Al Franken to Clarence Thomas.
