Guys, I have been following Franken's career since I was 10, I promise you he is not a predator. He did a really dumb thing in the spirit of comedy and there are all sorts of ways he could make amends, but I guarantee our planet is a better place with him in the Senate rather than not.
In my mind he's handling the situation very respectfully, but this is classic enabler language.
What am I enabling exactly?
Devil's advocate: You sound like the people who say "I don't care if he's a pedophile, at least he isn't a Democrat".
Maybe not devil's advocate but whatever. If it's wrong, it's wrong; there's not hemming or hawing about it.
Are you really equating what Franken did to pedophilia?

I think it's kind of funny that Gene Simmons managed to get himself ban hammered from Fox of all places. You know, the place that employed Bill O'Reilly and continues to employ Sean "Pedophilia is Okay" Hannity.
The account of what he did at Fox is pretty hilarious, he flashed his old man moobs to some female anchors and yelled "sue me!".

Guess this only applies when it's not one of their own, apparently.
Co-showrunners Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner provided a statement to Variety in defense of Miller.
“It’s a hugely important time of change and, like every feminist in Hollywood and beyond, we celebrate. But during every time of change there are also incidences of the culture, in its enthusiasm and zeal, taking down the wrong targets. We believe, having worked closely with him for more than half a decade, that this is the case with Murray Miller. While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year. It is a true shame to add to that number, as outside of Hollywood women still struggle to be believed. We stand by Murray and this is all we’ll be saying about this issue.”
