Well, it looks like the Louis C.K. apologists have at least pivoted to a different tactic than simply labeling accusers liars, after the comedian finally admitted to the sexual misconduct (http://mashable.com/2017/11/10/louis-ck-statement-its-true/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) he's been disparaging as mere "rumor" for five years (and as recently as two months ago (https://twitter.com/caranyt/status/929061776175632385)).
Within mere hours of C.K. issuing his statement, the internet fell over itself to commend him for the brave act of finally admitting he is, in fact, a sexual harasser and feels bad about it — now that there's a New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur&_r=0) story about it, anyway.
And as C.K. fans (and even some of his critics) pat him on the back for doing the literal least he could by not lying anymore, some conservatives continue to make excuses for Roy Moore (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/roy-moores-many-defenders/545609/), the former Alabama judge and U.S. Senate candidate accused of initiating a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl (https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32/2017/11/09/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?utm_term=.74f9a2560f56) when he was 32.
