The White House press briefing Friday was inundated with questions about a growing chorus of sexual harassment allegations – specifically those against Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, and even the president himself.

Congress has called for an ethics investigation into the Franken incident, which occurred during a 2006 USO tour. Reporters wanted to know if it was fair to suggest a similar investigation into Trump’s past behavior, considering several women accused him of sexual misconduct – allegations which surfaced on the campaign trail last year.

What’s the difference between the two men, the press wondered.

“Sen. Franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president hasn’t,” Press Secretary Huckabee Sanders said. “I think that’s a very clear distinction.”
