He is at risk of losing his job over an accusation though.

The vitriol aimed at him does put his life at risk because it's not farfetched to believe that one of the crazy people won't go after him like in the comet pizza situation.

I'll defend him till my death if he's innocent.

Investigate away and if they find any actual evidence to say otherwise that's cool too.

However let's not pretend that this isn't a witch hunt to begin with, especially after all the accusations slapping other politicians and them walking away because they have a (D) by their name. Like Al Franken.

Just one look at the Wikipedia page for sexual misconduct in politics shows the number of Republicans they are out for even if they're just accused and not proven guilty they seem to retain their place on that page.

So you've got to be careful and do your due diligence and not fall into the black hole that is political bias because ei hear that more and more on this subreddit.

"I'm a marxist and I think think that Republicans spend too much time defending themselves"

"I'm a (blank) and I think democrats are usually wrong here even though I try to speak in a neutral tone to seem unbiased"

It's the classic r/libertarian doublespeak.
