Response: Senator Gillibrand

​How about due process? I know we've sort of given it the finger the last few years, but it does exist and should make a comeback. If any of these people are convicted of a crime (be it the staffers, actors, politicians, etc.) then I fully support whatever the courts do to them. But we need to stop convicting people in the media, destroying their lives, and then having nothing done via the legal system. How would you like it if it was you? What if someone came forward and made a bunch of sexual assault and spousal abuse claims against you, you had your entire life destroyed in moments, and then never got to defend yourself in court? Are you OK with giving up your entire life over virtual signaling? Or do you want your rights recognized, namely your right to face your accuser? Because if it was me, I'd want my chance to say my part. I've been saying this since the entire thing began so long ago, and I will stand by that.
