Hillary Clinton Defends Al Franken After Sex Assault Accusations, But Doesn't Have Kind Words[tr]
Newsweek ^ | 11/18/2017 | Tom Porter

Posted on 11/21/2017 8:30:40 AM PST by simpson96

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton contrasted the response of Senator Al Franken following an accusation of sexual harrassment to President Donald Trump's reaction after multiple allegations of harassment that emerged during the 2016 election campaign.

In an interview with Rita Cosby on WABC radio on Friday, the former secretary of state said that party colleague Franken, who was accused this week of groping a female broadcaster in 2006, acted responsibly by apologizing and requesting the Senate ethics panel investigate his conduct.

"I deeply regret what he did," Clinton said. "There's no excuse for his behavior. But he's called for an investigation. He's apologized to the woman involved." She went on to say that is "the kind of accountability I’m talking about.” “I don't hear that from Roy Moore or Donald Trump.”

Oh boy... he's called for an investigation of himself!! WOW. That's impressive Hillary! Tell me one ethics investigation in the history of the senate that resulted in anything coming out of it except a bunch of hot air.

Hillary should just crawl in a hole and disappear.

Accountability?

Hillary’s a Grade A frickin phony.

After willy got lewinskied, the Clintons first took a poll.
The poll told them they could get away with it as long as they denied, denied, denied for as long as possible.....then willy could confess.

Hillary actually setup a bimbo war room in the Old West Wing of the WH.....a dozen tax-paid factotums worked there for 8 years.

Their only tax-paid job was to shoot down Bill’s accusers.

It got him reelected....and saved Hillary’s political ***.

We never heard it from Bill, her husband, who has raped and molested many women. She does make it a point to harass and ruin the reputations of the women Bill has attacked.

“I don’t hear that from Roy Moore or Donald Trump.”

Well.... neither of them had a photo taken of them grabbing an asleep female by the breasts.

Oh, this works! The great rape enabler standing up for a real pervert! It is so creepy that Franken likes to have his picture taken with his hands on the breasts or buttocks of women who’s in the picture with him.

Nothing says disrespect women more than those snaps!

Kind of like last week, when she was complaining that any investigation of her would be an “abuse of power.”

The situations don't equate, Hillary.

Trump SAID something years ago and was recorded. No one has come forward claiming he actually DID anything.

Moore is accused of doing something, but the only evidence is highly suspect, and his handlers (Allred) won't allow it to be verified.

Franken DID something, and there's indisputable evidence (the photograph) that he did it. He's caught, he can't deny it, like DNA on that famous blue dress. His only play is to apologize, and he knows it.

For some reason, Hillary thinks this makes him morally superior to Trump and Moore. Why would anyone think that?

A. What is to investigate? He admitted it. Sentencing time.
B. That is accountability? Do what you want, admit it and carry on?

How would she know anyways? She and Bill never admit anything. If not for the blue dress, they would still be denying the Monica affair.

She’s in denial, and that’s not the river in Egypt.

Only reason he would call for an investigation of himself is that he knows it will result in a whitewash.

Keep talking Hillary!

“I deeply regret what he did.”

Really? How can she regret what HE did?

She looked like hell yesterday in those clips with her and Billary at the Clinton Crime Foundation. She said things so laughable that it was featured as the first story on The Five on Monday. Hill looked like she hadn’t washed her hair in 2 weeks. Bill took the mic from her to stop her from digging a deeper hole for the 2 of them. Classic.

Does anybody remember back in 2010 when Gloria Allred joked about being groped by TSA with Sean Hannity?


SEAN HANNITY, HOST: "Did they touch your body parts?"

GLORIA ALLRED: "Yeah, they did and it was the first time anybody touched them in a long time and frankly, I liked it."

Demonrats have created the assumption that Trump and Moore “molested women”

Hillary has no right speaking about sexual assault.
She got the man who raped a 12 year old girl off. She accused the child of asking for it. She needs to crawl back under her rock and stay there.
She is nothing more then a decusting old hag.

She really isn’t going to shut up is she?
The RATS have a Hillary problem and it’s not going away until she is behind bars.
