Editor,
Did anyone notice that Mr. Lyons’ column omitted any mention of the Kennedys or the former-Congressmen/Senators who were recently exposed as sexual harassers? Former-President Clinton’s actions were characterized as mere “sweaty sexual sins.” (The only Democrat attacked was Professor Alan Dershowitz, a former darling of the Left whose only sin is practicing impartiality.)
Why did he give these powerful and wealthy Democrat predators a pass? I think the answer is obvious.
Powerful, entitled men learned to misbehave looooong before the “Age of Trump.” The mainstream new media chose to ignore or minimize the behavior prior to the 2016 election.
Predatory behavior is despicable and should be exposed whenever and wherever it occurs. Regardless of the political leanings of the predator.
