Alex Merced, candidate for Vice Chair of the Libertarian National Committee, and Jason Howerton, Senior Editor at the Independent Journal Review, weigh in on the differences between the Democrats' response to allegations of sexual misconduct against Al Franken, and the GOP response to Roy Moore. Franken resigned Thursday, just days after President Trump and the RNC got behind Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who's been accused of child molestation. Franken's resignation comes after eight women accused him of, among other things, "forcible kissing" and groping. An ethics investigation into these allegations had not yet concluded. Merced adds that the amount of time between denouncement and firing of men in the public sector is shrinking. Howerton notes the change in the culture, adding that he believes dozens more congressmen may still resign adding, "the floodgates are wide open."
