Lucky for you he's also accused of groping (i.e. sexually assaulting) in the very same club.

Have you ever been to a club Mickey? This stuff happens all the time. I'm not saying it's right but are we really going to litigate every single person who grabbed ass at a club and got shut down?

You asked if there was more than "being a creep," and there is. What you do with that information is up to you

Groping is creepy. The groping was included under my creepy umbrella.

Is this really just about some old Tweets? Probably not.

Here’s why: imagine you are a staffer at Teen Vogue. Your new editor in chief has just been announced, and she has no managerial experience, no experience editing, and no fashion experience. (And there’s also this whole episode.) You know more about running the magazine than she does, and so does the magazine’s lowest level intern. And now you are working for this person, who might have been a fine political reporter but has zero experience doing the job for which she was hired. What do you think staff reaction to that was? A cheery, well, let’s see if this works out! I’m sure it’ll be fine!

This seems like an obvious take, but worth mentioning nonetheless.

Isn't this explanation actually worse?

His potential challenger got caught in his own #MeToo claim (in his defense, he seemed genuinely contrite about the incident). Anyway, he backed out of the race, but it took over the news cycle for a couple of days, and I think that in the absence of a real challenger, there's less uproar. But I don't think that means this story is over.
