Like the two senators or anyone for that matter. I always tell my mother that either they are in fear of the power the other party may do, maybe getting paid off, or some even fear of deportation.

    Never been in the situation, but I imagine that when the rape happened, they either believed, or were coerced into thinking that nothing could be done about it. These things are often he said vs she said, and for most of recorded history, what he said always won.

    Then, however many years later they see that these guys are running in national elections, and what was once something that they had decided to move on from, now has the attention of the nation.

    They felt they didn’t have a voice before, but know they do, and they want to tell the nation the truth about this person that could potentially have a LOT of power.
