NBC’s Kasie Hunt Undermines Franken’s Alleged Victim: ‘Not Actually Groping’
Big Journalism ^ | 11/16/17 | John Nolte

Posted on 11/16/2017 2:15:47 PM PST by markomalley

Like something right out of the 1990s, when the news media did everything it could to undermine then-President Bill Clinton’s female accusers, Kasie Hunt, the Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News, claimed that what Democrat Senator Al Franken did to journalist Leeann Tweeden is “not actually groping.”

Appearing on MSNBC, the left-wing Hunt said, “And then [Franken] took a picture, which his office now says was a joke, that shows him not actually groping, but mock-groping her while she was asleep.”

This was not a mistake on Hunt’s part. It is all-too obvious that NBC has already manufactured a false narrative to undermine Tweeden and save Franken. After all, here is a separate report where Hunt again describes Franken’s behavior as “mock-groping.”

Yeah, replace Trump with Franken in that picture and it would be an apocalypse of rage from the left. Mock groping or not.

No mention of Al putting his tongue in her mouth while trying to kiss her either. That’s battery!

So if Judge Moore wins they want to remove him from the Senate, for unsubstantiated allegations 40 years old. Now what happens to Franken with clear photographic evidence?

Kasie sounds as though she may be a “former groping expert”. Her circling the wagon, a la Blazing Saddles, around the commie “democrats” is laughable. Groping is groping. There is no such thing as “not really groping”.

I’m pretty sure that if I only mock-groped a woman’s boobs, I would still get slapped.

I detest franken, but the pic does look like a fake grope to me.

Careful.... The question begs is why are they throwing the Clinton’s, Biden, and Franken all who have been discussed as a 2020 candidate so that “who” can run and “who” is behind it? Is Val and American citizen ( her Iranian roots ) and would Obama promote a run by her?

No, no, no this is a good thing! With enough gaslighting from msm, Franken may convince himself to continue to hang on. The worst thing right now would be for him to throw in the towel.

The idiots on “The Five” agree. Franken “apologized,” groping wasn’t as bad as what Moore did, Franken can stay, Moore should go.

“The Five” can go to hell.

"“The Five” can go to hell."

Thank you, Fox is becoming a wasteland other than Lou and Charles and maybe a bit of Laura. If it wasn't for my "guy channels" ( Discovery, History, Speedvision, etc ) I'd cut the cable. Then again I just might...,

Kind of like when I was a kid and my older brothers would punch me and I told? “I was just playing”.

I learned not to tell, punch back and run like hell.

To grope or not to grope— that is the question.

“I’m pretty sure that if I only mock-groped a woman’s boobs, I would still get slapped.”

Or - we ask this very simple question - to the SJWs especially:
“So as long as I don’t TOUCH a woman, I can’t REALLY be accused of sexually harassing her?”

NBC proudly supports Sexual Assault if done by a Democrat!!

I sure hope they put that on the scroll at the bottom of Every Show on their network. Which I have not watched in 30 years.

I see the media bitches are ignoring the inconvenient truth of Al Baby’s forced frenchy action on his victim.

All attention is on the Mock-Grope, right.
