“When I was in office as Majority Leader, I had the policy of zero tolerance for any of this kind of stuff.”

Really? Were there any complaints of sexual harassment in the House when you were Majority Leader? Did you publicly call out any members of Congress that you knew were harassing women?

Liar. Then why were there so many payouts and NO public disclosure of those payouts during your tenure as Majority Leader. Thank goodness for Dave Brat!

No tolerance for people who are able to prove they’ve been falsely accused?

That’s sad, because the only people the criminal libs would try to falsely accuse are the very people we NEED in Washington District of Corruption. And we need them all at the same time so they can very quickly clean things up before the methane there makes them swamp critters too. Took very, very little time for the swamp to make critters out of Nebraska’s latest 2 senators.

Any time a politician feels the need to vocalize their virtue, you can bet they’re guilty of a whole lot worse things than the target of their wrath.

"I think he deserves to lose" Cantor said

Win or lose - that is for the voters in Alaabam to decide.

In the same way the Virginia voters decided you should lose your bid to be re-elected in 2014.

“Zero tolerance” for being accused of something.

Thanks for your input, Eric. Now go back to sleep.

Not to put too fine a point on this but Moore has not been accused, allegations have been made against him. We have no evidence or reliable witness to support an accusation. An accusation follows known conduct. The question then is whether that conduct is accurately portrayed by the accusation.

Example John hits Tim. John is accused of assaulting Tim. John says he though Tim was choking. We have an accusation.
But let’s say Tim claims that while they were playing a game of chess ten years back John became angry over losing and punched him. We have no facts to parse. We have no witness to the event. We have no evidence that this is typical behavior by John. We have an allegation.

The allegations against Moore have certainly not risen to the status of an accusation. An accusation which within legal limits could mean building a case against Moore. Indeed we have the opposite. A confetti of petulant harpies.

Just what is "this kind of stuff?"

Being slandered--that is, being a victim of slander--is not a status for which any sane, rational & fair minded person has "zero tolerance!" It is a very, very good thing, I think, that the people of Virginia retired the former Congressman. (And, by the way, what sort of a "Republican," goes to CNN to discuss Republican policy?

From the Pubbie candidate of the last 10 years most deserving of losing his last election.

“Pretty damned sick and desperate to defeat Judge Moore, aren’t they?”

They probably hired the accusers to concoct the story.

I can’t believe this. None of the allegations have been shown to be true. No hearing, and it looks like the yearbook was a phony, yet in the final hour you have Mittens Romney and this other loser Cantor coming out for the last minute.

Eric wasn’t in office while his colleagues were using taxpayer money to pay off sexual harassment claims? Oh, he was.

Hold on!!!!

I believe Anthony Weiner (D—IckyPhotosOfMyJunk) was slithering around while sore loser Cantor was Majority Leader. Eric needs to do some fact-checking about his so-called zero tolerance

It just means they’re losing big league, and they know it.

"I think he deserves to lose," Cantor said on CNN's New Day. "When I was in office as Majority Leader, I had the policy of zero tolerance for any of this kind of stuff."

Really? As leader of the majority, what did you do about John Conyers? Different party but did you raise an ethics investigation? No?

Then pound sand, weasel.
