Also Franken had 8 women accuse him. Even if you want to discredit Tweeden for being a Republican, you'd have to believe 7 other independent women, including a Democratic staffer, some who told people about his groping at the time including before he was a Senator, all lied

Those people aren't being cynical, they aren't being honest about the incredibly small chance that Franken didn't have a problem keeping his hands to himself. So no, giving them time to process isn't enough. Because people will always find some excuse when it's accusations against someone they like. Believe victims.
