Alex Datig: Sexual Assault Belongs in Therapist’s Office Not in the 11th Hour of a Political Contest

EXCERPT:

DATIG: "You know, yes. But I'm not if the President is even an issue here. We have 3.1 million registered voters in the state of Alabama; 1.3 million of which voted for Donald Trump; 700,000 voted for Hillary. So, in last election in the primary they had 17.6s percent voter turnout which means 580,000 Republican votes and 109,000 Democratic for Jones. Now Moore won that over Luther Strange. So, I mean, if you have Republican turnout it may not matter what the women do or what they don't do because it's a numbers game. And while -- if these allegations are true, I find that all very sad and very horrible. I just think it's very -- it is politically motivated. I do not like seeing sexual harassment claims made at the eleventh hour against a candidate. But at the same time, children are off limits, you know? And if you're talking about us having to decide whether or not to give someone the benefit of the doubt so they can run for the United States Senate, the answer's no. And that's just my position. It's been my position for a while and I came out on Facebook about it and I got called out. But now, you see what happens. And I just, you know, I do not like sexual harassment being used in politics at all because the victims don't really get redress. They may get monetary relief but redress is impossible when they make this public."
