I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you

I hate to break this to you guys, but for anybody who seems to think that there’s some weird timing here going on or something like that and this is not real. This is all in writing. He did this in DM‘s and text messages and so forth and it is very very very real.

I wish this was not the case. I am somebody who believed in him and I am somebody who learned a lot about him myself today and I am very proud of Ally.

And one of the most admirable things I can ever say about her is that even after the first report came out, she said yes please use my name on the record. She hoped that if she put her name on the record that would help others whether it was to speak out or stop this from happening to somebody else.

KT:
Sorry man, but why wait until now? All this shit being brought up when he’s the leading candidate. Why now when he’s been around in politics for years?

adam:
I can’t speak for the timing of anything. All I know is that she had nothing to do with the timing, but when she got the call, she told the truth.

KT:
You both have been together for years, have 2 kids yet she never mentioned anything to you or family all this time right?Sorry bud, seems like
@cnn.com
and their scumbag owners sat on this until it’s time for the election. Give the accused little time to react or prove innocence. If true, fuck him.

adam:
Listen, I have shared and lifted up Eric online for years. Many of these details which were prior to us dating are new to me, and if I knew any of it, I would’ve never supported him for anything, including a retweet. But I respect her privacy, her story and everything that she has shared today.

schoolhouserox:
And for most women, that readiness takes a very long time. Decades even.

margaret g:
Exactly 💯

So much confusion, self-blame, abject fear. The moment any type of sexual misconduct occurs, the whirlwind of emotions that descends is overwhelming. It's not uncommon AT ALL for women not to speak up & put themselves at the mercy of complete strangers and their snap judgements.
