What happened to believing women when they speak out against powerful male accusers? On Thursday, evidence broke of a 2006 incident in which Democrat Al Franken groped and forcibly kissed TV and radio personality Leeaan Tweeden. Photographic proof backs up her claim.
Yet, MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt described the now-Senator's predatory behavior this way: “[Franken] took a picture, which his office now says was of a joke, that showed him potentially — not actually groping — but mock-groping her while she was asleep."
In the noon hour, Hunt repeated her mild description. This time, she didn't cite the Franken staff and made it her own: “Then she also published a picture that was given to her of her asleep with Senator Franken mock-groping her.” This isn’t how Tweeden described the unwanted attention. She didn’t offer qualifiers such as “mock-groping” or “not actually groping”....

It wasn’t rape-rape?
Oh, so Democrats are afforded the Whoopie Goldberg explanation, eh?
Right & Leeann wasn’t really asleep.
This might be an easier sell, if there wasn’t a high quality picture & Franken didn’t have a sh!t eating grin on his face.
it was just a little tongue, not the whole tongue.....
Gee. Trump SAYS “pussy” and the media has a collective cow. Here, we have a photo of a sitting Senator grabbing a woman’s breasts when she’s asleep and they have to make up an excuse for him.
We need these people out of our media.
In fact, we need them out of our country.
No way. This doesn’t pass the smell test. Al Franken must be held to the Roy Moore standard. And under this standard Franken must be expelled from the Senate!
The lengths that liberals go to cement themselves as hypocrites is astounding.
So now we need pressure sensors to measure the amount of force lecherous Senators apply when groping sleeping women’s boobs?
Yeah, MSNBC, you just stick with this theory.
When we started dating we we're young and inexperienced. We groped each other.
With time and practice we learned to fondle.
But nevertheless... he persisted!
Would they be defending him if he wasn’t a Democrat? To Democrats, the only crime is not being one.
Told ya.
MSM will always Circle the Wagons when it comes to Democrats.
So this woman doesn’t believe the women.
Because It’s Franknweenie the Rat of the Senate, right?
Remember the alleged sexual harassment committed by Clarence Thomas? They said he called a hair on a Coke can a ‘pubic hair’. His opponents didn’t give him a pass on that because ‘it was a joke’
The fallout from this strike is going to be highly radioactive.
A lot of damage and casualties in the Swamp and the media are going to occur.
Nice shooting, Bannon. On target.
‘he got expelled’ (from the US senate)
Considering Franken didn’t have any pants on at the time, I’d say it was groping.
