Palm Springs, California. CBS affiliate KESQ-TV’s Kris Long is currently unemployed because he decided to pen a “common sense” response to theKavanaugh uncorroborated allegations chaos.
In a since-deleted post, Long announced that, according to the new standards, he “couldn’t get elected dog catcher!”
“Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is now having to answer for his actions as a 17 year old!” wrote Long (full text below). “I have absolutely no problem with the Metoo movement. In fact, I would offer that it is long overdue. Far too many women have been subjected to mistreatment for far too long by men with the power to control their lives and paychecks. I have absolutely no sympathy for the increasingly long list of well-known names who have fallen from grace because they thought with their little head and not their big one.”
However, you are beyond dreaming if you think 17 year old boys are not going to misbehave from time to time as they begin to attempt relationships with the opposite sex. That is just the way we animals are made! Now, that certainly does not in any way mean that a 17 year old should be allowed to force himself on a young girl. That illegal act is reprehensible at 17, 37, or 77. But to allow someone to accuse a fellow teenager of some lesser miscreant behavior from some four decades ago is, I feel, a real stretch.”
He was then forced to resign his position and released this statement:
“I want to thank those who have offered support and apologize again for any I may have offended. I hope to return to the news business in the future. I wish I hadn’t written (the post) because it’s caused me a lot of headache. This is a sensitive and controversial subject and I apologize for any offense that this has caused.”
If Don Lemon had made a similar comment to Brooke Baldwin, the entire modern feminist movement would be up in arms. Yet, our misandrist society allows men to be victimized while the whole #MeToo movement and Women’s March crowd stay silent. Kind of like they do with women who are real victims of oppression.
It‘s bad enough Don Lemon had to endure this demeaning sexualized comment, but from a white woman no less!
