No, this is classic brain-dead both-sidesism, where the relevant standard is eviscerated in order to draw a comparison in service of a political objective. Again, she may even be correct and further evidence will come out, but allow one to withhold judgment when suspicious accusations are uncorroborated.
And please don't convict Franken based on a statement that he could have behaved better. "Could have behaved better" is not anywhere equivalent to "confirmed sexual predator", like Trump and Moore and Weinstein.
Note that the people pushing this story were also the ones pushing Behngazi and Uranium One, so don't be surprised, even if she is shown to be a liar, if they press forward zealously for months. You are playing their game, and if it is a game, I look forward to Dvault walking back his rush to convict because "the women should be believed." He wants Franken to resign but probably doesn't feel like Trump's 18 or so accusers are sufficient to justify his impeachment.
At least you have a former chief justice and future senator on your side.
