A hint: the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s is long over, and Americans are much less tolerant of abusive forms of sexual indulgence.
But how abusive was what Johnson did? He wasn't charged with a crime. She was 17, yes that was wrong. However, was he abusing his power? If someone is drunk, is he responsible for his actions? Not enough shame to die for, IMO. Maybe the shame was imposed by his religion. I feel sad for him.
(and I doubt he'll be replaced by a liberal, but who knows these days.....)
Too bad the sexual revolution is over. Yes, abuse of power to appease one's own indulgence needs to be over too.
