Great news, liberals! ABC News’ chief political analyst Matthew Dowd is giving you the go-ahead to let your fingers do the walking, as long as you’re committed to the common good:
Every leader (and each of us) is human and flawed and makes mistakes, but there is a difference between those who are flawed who work for the common good and those who are flawed who could care less about the common good. Huge difference.

And difference between those who acknowledge mistakes & evolve (Franken) vs doubling down on denial & attacking victims (Moore).

Agree, and i have said that.

There is also a difference between those who admit their flaws and commit to do better and those who deny they ever did anything wrong. That is a HUGE difference.

Said same a few days ago.

I'm afraid this appears to be scrambling for a way to divide the perpetrators into camps, so we can excuse the ones we like. No one should be able to use the "common good" as a defense against the harm he intentionally causes to individuals.

Of course i didn't do that. And have criticized all perpetrators. But not all are the same.

Isn’t that special?
"Chief Political Analyst, ABC News" describes why liberals are allowed to sexually harass whoever they want, and conservatives aren't. @ABC @matthewjdowd pic.twitter.com/w6MOrmGmP2

Who defines "common good"?

Weinstein, no doubt, believed he worked for the common good by financing great films. Cosby and Louis CK helped "the common good" by bringing laughter to millions. Every creep is utterly convinced that overall, they work for the common good… https://t.co/HUDK0kXZxT

Translation: if you oppose Trump or any far right politician, you can sexually harass women all you want.
Pathetic. https://t.co/faPttwErug— Meech (@michi83) November 22, 2017
In other words, the rules don't apply to one's allies, only to one's enemies. How do you think your political enemies will respond?

Good news! If you're liberal, you can sexually harass anyone so long as you continue to claim to know what's best for poor people. https://t.co/qI7X5zejMT

As long as you agree with Matthew Dowd’s definition of common good, by all means guys, grope away! https://t.co/kRjuSulZg6
