Victim Shaming? MSNBC's Kasie Hunt Says Senator Al Franken's Actions 'Not Actually Groping'

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 begins, as I predicted. They are going to defend him. Same as what they did for clinton’s sexual harassment.
F*CK the left!

I eagerly await the “last word” from Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC to see if he has any moral outrage left over for Franken. His righteous indignation has been working overtime on Moore the past week.

So, next time anyone sees Kasie, give her a "mock-grope"....she just gave you permission.

Al Franken must be held to the Roy Moore standard. And under this standard Franken must be expelled from the Senate!

Well actually the Roy Moore standard is that one woman claims it happened 40 years ago without evidence and therefore Moore should be expelled.

For the Franken incident we must apply the Franken standard which is we have photographic proof the incident occurred yet we must ignore the allegation because the Senator is a democrat.

That was just “groping “. Now Juanita Broderick was bloodily raped by the impeached and disbarred Bill Clinton but she was “trailor trash” and that was just about sex years before.

Well, Kasie, yours are so small a jury would have a tough time deciding whether or not groping had actually occurred.
