#MeToo<\/a>, indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems a Democrat activist did, in fact, what the Dems have spent the past three years condemning the President for *talking* about – not *actually* doing, mind you – while being surreptitiously filmed. A female GOP volunteer was sexually assaulted by a Democrat while working at the GOP booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So…all sexual harassment, to say nothing of assault, *isn’t* wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#BelieveAccusers<\/a>, indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacker was a woman who was taking part in an organized demonstration at the GOP booth, by the way – one of an organized throng of goons who bum-rushed the booth yelling “F**k Trump”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They – a half dozen guys – also harassed the three women, including Chair Carnahan, who were busy closing up the booth last night. Ever notice how it’s always throngs of male goons attacking women, alone or in small groups (like the “Anti”-Fa thugs who teamed up on Preya Samsundar<\/a> two years ago)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Toxic<\/a> “#Masculinity<\/a>” indeed (or, more likely, proof that “toxic” masculinity isn’t “masculine” at all).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berg’s Seventh Law is universal and omnipresent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I want to respect the victim’s privacy, I hope the video comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a chance to interview, Chairwoman Carnahan on my show Saturda. She pointed out that she got all sorts of craven catcalling when she visited the DFL booth – whereas the DFL’s chair, Ken Martin, was treated with civility and respect at the GOP booth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is pretty much par for the course; in 2018, Saint Paul DFL mayor Melvin Carter felt perfectly comfortable walking into my GOP caucus meeting and giving a quick talk – which I, the chair, allowed, because hey, we gotta try to run a democracy together, right? But was *zero* chance in hell I could have returned the favor without an outbreak of hissing and complaints that I’d “triggered” someone or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civility; it’s a one-way street in the Metro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what a perfect representation of Urban Progressive Privilege, huh? The thought that one might feel not only empowered, but entitled, to commit sexual assault in service of one’s politics, with the active encouragement of your fellow Democrats? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are the “resistance”, here, anyway? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
