Considering the number of people that both have access to the internet today and those that chime in on this stuff the distinction between "real life people" and "people on the internet" is pretty thin.
Regardless if she pulled a European football player drama show or not an unsettling number of people attacked her over it with threats of violence, sexual assault and personal attacks. People are in love with Trudeau and will either justify or fluff off behavior that is unacceptable.
Of course political opposition will react, or overreact, about anything they can which gives them spotlight time.The most I've seen in print is talking about how ridiculous regular Canadians will find the opposition making impact statements and how they feel unsafe at work now. Or that beautiful Lisa Raitt tweet on how it's supposed to be about believing women, intentionally or unintentionally linking trudeau with ghomeshi.
Taking an "Oh ya well so and so did this" when faced with something like this is more deflection. It's not a who misbehaved worse contest. The PM fucked up. His apology was very mealy mouthed and seemed very insincere.
Our politics and politicians have turned into a reality TV show.
