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”....

Depends on what the word is is?
“Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, ‘We need to rehearse the kiss.’ I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL … we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’
He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.
He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘okay’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.
I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time.
I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.
I felt disgusted and violated.
I’m sure this sounds like mock tongue kissing, not a real tongue kiss. At least the way the totalitarian Left views the world.
She’s probably was asleep, and he posed for the photo.. he likely didn’t grab her, just snapped the photo... this guys about as base a fool as you can find. How the Great state of MN send this doofus to the senate twice is beyond me
As I never watch MSNBC, I don’t know who this K. Hunt is!
A tough way to go — sacrifice your own to score a few points. However, it is possible.
But when opportunity knocks, you answer....and you have to be willing to fight. Not hide out like Bush while the Democrats trash talk you and drag the Republican party through the gutter.
There is the real Senate!
“Franken must be expelled”
Yes, but who gets the assignment to first catch him and eat him?
Hat tip to Emo Phillips on that concept.
Vlad must be having a blast!!
The photographer was his brother that was on the trip to document it. He gave her a CD with all the pics on it.
But Kasie Hunt has a Master’s degree in Sociology from St. John’s College, Cambridge. No doubt she learned that everything is ‘relative’ if it’s going to hurt your party.
I heard at some point today FRANKENGROPEN® offered a legitimate sounding mea culpa.
Ah yes, the Mourning Schmo, Kasuck, and of course, Gary Condidit.
There’s no statute of limitations on murder.
