Poll shows partisan divide over treatment of those accused of sexual harassment

Conservatives and liberals are deeply divided over the treatment of those who have been accused of sexual harassment, according to a new American Barometer poll.

The survey, conducted by Hill.TV, found that 57 percent of respondents who said they had strong liberal beliefs and 52 percent of those who lean liberal believe the treatment of those accused is "largely fair and appropriate."

Conservative, on the other hand, widely believe treatment of the accused has crossed a line.

Seventy-two percent of those with strong conservative beliefs said they believed treatment of those accused of sexual harassment "had gone too far," while 66 percent of respondents who leaned conservative said the same.

The survey comes days after Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice after facing sexual misconduct allegations from three women.

These are evangelicals who see nothing wrong with serial adultery now...
These are "fiscal conservatives" who are perfectly fine with blowing Multi-trillion dollar holes in the budget...
These are "family values" voters who see nothing wrong with caging children, AFTER separating them from parents...

In short, the supporters of Donald Trump are now so tied to his persona as to make them a de facto cult of personality already. They don't care how horrific or how insane he becomes, their own self-worth is tied to his perceived popularity and nothing but fealty is acceptable.

Well, to all of them I cordially invite them to pound sand and GTFO of my face.
