If I did what Matt Lauer did I would lose my job.
If I did what Al Franken did I would lose my job.
If I did what Bill O’Reilly did I would lose my job.
If I did what Roy Moore did I would lose my job.
If I did what Harvey Weinstein did I would lose my job.
If I did what Kevin Spacey did I would lose my job.
If I did what Charlie Rose did I would lose my job.
If I did what Louis CK did I would lose my job.
If I did what John Conyers did I would lose my job.
If I did what Bill Clinton did I would lose my job.*
If I did what Donald Trump I would lose my job.*
And, you would too.
They violated women and girls.
They abused our trust.
They misused their power.
Politically I agree with some of these men.
Others I disagree with.
But, there is no defending or excusing what they did.
If you do, you tacitly condone their behavior.
Whether I agree or disagree with them I think they all should lose their jobs.
*Note: On the Sunday morning after the news broke about what Bill Clinton had done after my regular Sunday morning sermon I said if I had done what he had done I would lose my job. I said the same thing about Donald Trump on the Sunday morning after he was elected.
