he was a great fighter and a powerful voice. I wish he had fought a little more for himself. What he was accused of was nowhere near this level of crap. He could have weathered it and opened a conversation about respecting boundaries.

But rape is something much more sinister and problematic.

I'm sure that there could be assholes working to unseat him, but he's the Lt. Gov, It might be just that he's a rapey scum bucket.
