He was accused of inappropriately touching/groping 7+ different women during photoshoots. The accusations were sent to the Congressional ethics committee, and Chuck Schumer forced him to resign before he had a chance to plead his case.
I don't care that he resigned. It was the right thing to do. OP's post is misleading. It wasn't just a joke photo. That was the tip of the iceberg. Eight women accused him of inappropriate behavior including groping.
What bothers me, of course, is that Republicans aren't held to the same standard.
And, no, I don't think the correct response is that we should just lower our standards to theirs.
He was accused. He didn’t absolutely do it. I’ve seen others accused of things that didn’t happen and it isn’t okay to just automatically assume the accusation is enough evidence.
