Sexual assualt and bad twitter jokes are absolutely not the same thing
No, they're not. I agree. However, I remember reading multiple threads on Reddit from people claiming that what happened to Franken was a hit job by the right in order to deflect from a scandal that was plaguing the right wing at the time. And maybe it was, but people were arguing vehemently that Franken shouldn't have resigned and that the Democratic party was wrong to pressure him to do so. And I'm seeing a similar sentiment from people in this thread, who are claiming that Disney folded to the whims of the alt-right. It does not matter to me who brought these tweets to light. I didn't even know it was Mike Cernovich (sp?) who spearheaded this thing until recently. And knowing that didn't make me feel like Disney made a bad decision. I still think Disney made a good decision, just as they made a good decision in firing Roseanne.
