Franks and his wife have been married for 27 years...When did the surrogacy inquiries take place?
I wish he did not resign.
It signals what the Dims want to happen - allegations alone are the standard for “guilt”.
In Franks case, the worst that seems to have happened is the two females Franks spoke to - about him & his wife’s problem of not being able to conceive, and their looking for a surrogate - said they felt “uncomfortable”.
So now “feeling uncomfortable” is equal with “sexual harassment or abuse”??
What about simply telling the person you feel uncomfortable then and there at the time; then they apologize (as I think in Frank’s case he had no intent to make anyone uncomfortable), and the issue is over.
Guilt has until very recently required intention and or KNOWING an action was going to be received negatively whether you intended it to or not.
Now “guilt” not only no longer requires intention, it does not even require knowledge beforehand that the action would have been received negatively. The only thing needed for “guilt” is the other persons “feelings”. Yet “feelings” are 100% up to the person that has them, arise from their own thinking and not directly from (and may not even arise from) actions someone takes. YOU CHOOSE to “feel” by how you think.
In this case Franks was suppose to know, beforehand, what the two females were going to think about the subject they were asked about??
I wish Franks would take back his resignation. I’d be happy to become his public P.R. person.
The wife should have done the asking or some third party.
congresscritter was stupid. It was a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do and he should have known it was extremely risky.
He flushed his job right down the John.
