The #MeToo movement has shown no signs of slowing, especially amid the recent confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh despite an allegation of sexual assault. But a large portion of Republicans think the women's movement has already gone too far, according to a new poll released this week.
The survey from The Economist/YouGov asked, "Do you think the #metoo movement against sexual harassment," and respondents could choose among four answers, "has gone too far," "has been about right," "has not gone far enough" and if respondents are "not sure."
Among Republicans, 66 percent said the #MeToo movement has gone too far. Twelve percent of GOP respondents said #MeToo has got it about right, 4 percent said not far enough and 18 percent said not sure.
There was a divide along party lines, with just 11 percent of Democrats saying #MeToo has gone too far in how it has opposed sexual harassment. Forty-two percent of Democrats said #MeToo has got it right, 31 percent said it hasn't gone far enough and 16 percent said not sure.

Guess the GOP really is the pro-rape party.
