A witch hunt update on the latest accusations of sexual inappropriate activities in the workplace, Andrew Cuomo accused of ignoring sexual abuse in a state office, and an update on Al Franken s decision not to resign from the Senate. Glenn Beck weighs in.
00:06:26.160It's reprehensible because some people really have suffered.
00:06:30.300They've had horrible things happen to them.
00:06:32.280And now they're just a political football for people like John McCain, John Kasich, and Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Kristen Gillibrand, and a bunch of other people in D.C.
00:06:48.420It's sad that we have to say it this way, but unfortunately, most people are not getting this.
00:07:43.360Lumping the two together does a disservice to the people who suffered the worst.
00:07:48.140The example being harassment could be something as little as somebody overheard you in the office say something that was of sexual nature and you didn't like the joke.
00:08:01.920That could be considered sexual harassment.
00:08:22.880What constitutes assault or harassment if it's unwanted?
00:08:26.420So if you don't want it, how about you speak up?
00:08:33.660How about you speak up and say, this is not right?
00:08:37.280If it continues, then pursue some other course of action.
00:08:41.040And by the way, if somebody does speak up, even if it's just somebody in your office that says, hey, you know, Steve, I really don't want to be around those jokes.
00:09:32.840How dare you, when you overhear something inappropriate, a dirty joke, a comment you didn't like, classify yourself as a victim the same way somebody that's been raped?
00:09:46.700There's a difference between facts and allegations.
00:09:51.740Roy Moore, allegations at this point, looking pretty bad.
00:09:55.780Even some of the things that he said and his attorney said.
00:09:58.340Whereas, well, I always ask their mom, okay, you're kind of getting into that area of fact and proven.
00:10:38.160It's the degree of the mistake, the type of mistake, the appropriate punishment and repentance, or not, that is germane to the rest of the story.
00:10:59.940We've been inappropriate in our own way, whether it's sexual or not.
00:11:03.700We've treated people poorly at some point in our life.
00:11:06.360It's the degree of the mistake, I said something dirty, or I raped somebody, very different, the appropriate punishment that they receive, and whether or not the person is truly sorry and is repented.
00:11:20.540Do you think Al Franken, while reflecting, is truly sorry?
00:11:24.320Will there be any punishment for his true, obvious infraction?
00:11:28.240And finally, forgiving is a good thing.
00:11:36.320So if somebody has truly made a mistake, has truly made amends, has suffered whatever punishment, then let's forgive them and move on.
00:11:45.580If something is 40 years ago, again, if they prove that they are sorry and have made amends, we can move on.
00:11:55.320The final point of all of this is, stop the character assassination for political reasons.
00:12:03.700Using this as a political football makes you as reprehensible as the people that you're blasting for making some sort of inappropriate action or comment.
00:12:15.320You are just as bad if you're making this as a political football, not calling out people that you normally support because you support them,
00:12:25.660and only calling out people you don't like because you're trying to see them politically punished.
00:12:30.160Even if I agree with your agenda and we share the same ideas, I cannot support you unless you are calling out the people who you share the same ideology with when they do wrong.
00:12:46.260I'm going to open up the phone lines and get some of your comments coming up next.
00:22:03.580My biggest pet peeve with this whole sexual harassment scandal is why hasn't Bill Clinton at least been condemned and ostracized by the Democrat Party?
00:22:13.920He should have been in jail for what he did while he was governor of Arkansas, never mind have a political career.
00:22:20.940the whole Democrat Party fighting against sexual harassment is the biggest fraud because Bill Clinton is still walking around free and loose.
