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.”

“Not actually groping”...must be like “not rape rape.”

Or, “it depends on what the meaning of is is.”

Those hilarious wascally Democrats...

I know about a mock-presidency over the last administration, but not so sure about her so-called mock-groping.

Al Franken touches women on their private places while they are sleeping, and he thinks that’s funny.

He’s sick.

I guess it’s ok for Democrats to treat women like dirt.

Groping in the evening

It would have been awkward, had she awakened.

Unfortunately, she is going to need some sensitivity training. It seems the moral barrier to sexual behavior is determined by consent. A sleeping woman cannot consent. They made the rules when Clinton got foisted on us, now they can live by the rules they made.

I knew this was coming.

If you look at Franken’s hands, there is shadow underneath his fingers. He doesn’t appear to “really” be touching her breasts.

They’re gonna use this defense for all its worth and will try and brush it under the rug. They’re afraid to have to defend his seat if he resigns and the Minn Governor calls for a special election ... the Democratic Party can’t afford it.

It’s worse. He was trying to humiliate her in front of her co-workers with a sexual assault.

“not actually groping.”

Said by someone who's not actually a journalist.

UhOh! Valerie Jarrett (Obama's brain) just delivered the sentence for Franken. He's toast.

According to the United States Department of Justice, sexual assault is “any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient.” Sexual assault is basically an umbrella term that includes sexual activities such as rape, fondling, and attempted rape.

Alfranken did it. Resignation. Then criminal charges.

Maybe he can play hide the Weiner with Anthony.

A lot of that going around. Saying that he was pretending to be groping her breast, implying he didn’t touch her, when he did.

Or saying, it’s through a “flak jacket” as if that makes any difference regarding putting one’s hands on the chest of a sleeping woman.
