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, MSNBCs 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 isnt how Tweeden described the unwanted attention. She didnt offer qualifiers such as mock-groping or not actually groping....

Would have been assault if it had been a Republican accused of it. Imagine if there was a picture of Roy Moore doing the same thing, MSNBC would be singing a different tune..but hey, when its a liberal accused, gotta protect fellow libs
Everyone here who bitches about Drudge needs to note this.
Franken is looking over his shoulder and both of his hands are...occupied. So who took the picture? Inquiring minds, etc.
Let’s ignore the ‘tongue-down-the-throat’ scene rehearsal part.
Can you even begin to imagine what these mainstream media talking heads would be saying if it was the same exact photo, except instead of Al Franken it was Donald Trump?
Sure you have if you’ve been paying attention......
Sexual scandals in politics always gets front page 24/7 because the public loves to feed on such.
Kasie Hunt is to Al Franken as Gloria Steinum was to Bill Clinton.
Can’t wait for women to start showing up at an anti-Franken rally wearing titty hats and boob bonnets.
No, it wasn’t groping-groping!...............
I'm sorry Cassie, I can't order a Democrat Senator to grope you equally, it would be unethical, you'll have to ask Senator McConnell.
I’m even more interested in the odious Jonah Goldberg, who’s happy to condemn an innocent man on the basis of incorporated allegations.
Hey Kassie!!! Watch out
Mock-grope incoming!
Nevermind no real men where u work...
After Franken, can any woman close her eyes around a Democrat and feel safe?
Franken is a creep, he has always been a creep and will always be a creep. The best thing American’s can do is insist that he no longer is a Senator or holds any any kind of political office in this country. He needs to step down NOW!
Yep.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
One of the Democrat Congresscritters claimed that the divisiveness in modern America started with Bill Clinton and his impeachment hearings.
Wrong, it started before him and with Clarence Thomas.
And this is all a good thing. If the there wasn't the Democrat double standard and the absurd hypocrisy.
In her account, she says it was an authorized and official photographer (otherwise, would not have been on the C-130) who gave her a CD with that image and all the other images from the trip on it.
She didn’t see the image until much later, apparently.
That is why nobody is challenging the authenticity of the photo.
For one thing, wasn’t this incident after he allegedly kissed her against her will? So he was already guilty of abuse, before this “groping” occurred.
I don’t think he gets a pass.
I am sure the leftists will all come out and defend him as just being a comedian and “playing a role”....
Do you suppose they’ll be marching out 3 more women today, who will accuse Roy Moore of having looked at them lewdly?
This might all be funny, if not for the fact that the Senate is at stake here.
