Political action committees are being created by #MeToo activists for the specific purpose of going after hapless Republicans.
The committee is focusing on five candidates for 2018, all Republicans, including Steve Von Loor, a North Carolina Republican Congressional nominee who has been accused of domestic violence; Minnesota Congressman Jason Lewis, who is running for re-election and has made demeaning statements about women; and David Byrd, a Republican incumbent state representative in Tennessee who has been accused of sexually abusing his former high school basketball players.
Most of the politicians forced to resign from office have been Republicans.
Wait! There's more: Republican Representative Trent Franks resigned last December pursuant to sexual-harassment allegations.
If you're a Republican Congressman, you must resign if you are the subject of "Credible accusations." If you're a Democratic Congressman you get to stay unless, like John Conyers, you're pushing 90, and would have retired soon anyway.
Republicans, unlike Democrats, are smart enough to understand that women are individual human beings rather than mindless members of an identity group.
This, in turn, is why GOP candidates should not cave as soon as they are accused, and it is why Republican voters should support them if they are innocent.
