Molly McPherson argues accountability means acknowledging wrongdoing, not endless apologies. She points to Katie Porter as someone who accepted responsibility and moved forward, while criticizing how female politicians face harsher standards than men for the same mistakes.
You don't have to apologize for everything. You just have to accept accountability and acknowledge like, yeah, I was an asshole. And she did and she did and then she went into, she explained it but then she went into why she needed, why she needs someone who's tough and that's what she is. She is tough. She is. So that's Katie Porter. So we're going to give her a PR miss. I mean definitely with that leak. But I think she kind of hit it. You know it was a good hit for her because now she can move on. She doesn't need to talk about it. And that's a mistake that so many people make. They say nothing or they, they pick a fight on it and then it continues to, continues on. I guarantee men have behaved way worse than. We're forgiven. Exactly. If we are measuring Katie Porter with the same stick as other male politicians then we have to take that stick and go.
