Oh bullshit.
One more âIt cannot be proven/It cannot be disprovenâ accusation, from 11 years ago.
Highly suspicious, but the damage is now done.
Doubt it. Why didnât she report it to her CHAIN OF COMMAND. I would say it would have been HER DUTY to do so. She didnât come forward in real time AND these complaints against Franken have been public for a couple of weeks - why did it take her so long to come forward NOW?
Is that photo supposed to be proof of her claim?
He just kept his hand there and kept his hand there and finally she moved and then the picture was taken. Well, I have a picture of Franken too! He stole the crown jewels of England right before it was taken, but he put them back first. I was stunned at the time but now I want to tell my story.
Thatâs whatâs known as Republican proof. It shows Franken doing nothing wrong and the woman smiling. Plus I donât understand the mechanics of it. His hand is on her back. Weâre supposed to believe that they were standing side-by-side with his hand on her breast in front of everyone, and then at the last minute before the picture she swiveled around so that his hand is on her back?? Anything is possible but the picture certainly makes it seem far less likely.
Franken put his arm around my shoulder when I posed with him and he cupped my balls.
It made me so uncomfortable that I shifted before the photo and posed cheek to cheek.
Iâm not going to dismiss this out of hand. I think if it were anybody on the GOP side, weâd be all over him at this point. Not to say I really know for sure what to make of it, but the fact that he isnât coming out and denying these things with some degree of force may be telling. Letâs see how he responds to this one. And yes, Moore and Trump and who knows who else are worse, but this could still be pretty wrong.
I think as well that he may have some âsplaininâ to do, for the same reason you do. I suspect he was maybe a little too handsy over the years in a way he realizes now isnât tolerated any more. It may all be on the cusp of concern where heâs not really a bad guy but he let himself in for criticism and suspicion in a time when thereâs something of a hue and cry about this thatâs really justified overall. Itâs complicated, in other words.
âadding that she shifted her body to move his hand before the picture was taken.â
Iâm getting fucking sick of this bullshit.
This bullshit, and the way the press has continued to pull false equivalency bullshit between this man and those real pedophiles, flashers, groupers and rapists is not only tiring but harmful. Bullshit is bullshit is goddam fuckinâ bullshit.
I know the wingers will keep trying this until they succeed in pushing out Franken. Well, letâs hear those accusersâ stories under oath.
If she was so traumatized, why is she smiling?
Another BS story. Why is it that Franken only grabs ârepublicanâ females? Is he asking party affiliation before each photo. If my anatomy classes havenât failed me the female breast is not on the back UNLESS the woman suffers from a severe case of back boobs.
The story is he moved his hand before the pic was taken. Really??? Why didnât she say he had his hand on he pu$$y before the pic was taken? Oh, thatâs trumps move. Is this the only picture? This woman doesnât look in the least bit shocked. I can tell you from a female perspective, I donât care who or what if a male in a pic puts his hands where you donât want them-the emotion of surprise and shock in going to be reflected in your face and your body language. Itâs an automatic nervous system response. Was only 1 picture taken? She is leaning into him, not the other way around.
This woman is a trump supporter, registered republican and voted for him. None of the accusers have substantiated anything they have accused this man of but in this particular climate of smear journalist-they donât need to. How many days have there been a non-Franken accuser come forth. Did this woman just wake from a coma?
Question: Franken ran in a contentious senate race why didnât these republican come forth at the time. Trumps accusers came out before the election to the point of putting their lives on the line being threatened by his insane devotees, why not for Franken? Because itâs a Smear campaign to try and remove a very vocal opponent of Dotard and the convenience of the âMe Tooâ campaign was just the opportunity needed.
Shame on you CNN for not asking hard questions. Journalism is truly dead.
When are people going to start to wonder if maybe their is a smear campaign against Al Franken? (dont forget what James OâKeffe tried to do)⌠Because it is seems like he only feels up women in full view of the public while having his picture taken.
lol!!..Exactly
I just feel so sorry for that young girl in that picture,â she said of the photo of herself.
That sounds coached to me. Who talks like that?
I have some suspicions that we actually willâŚthat the GOP will hold public hearings to have a very very public kangaroo-court shaming of Franken without any real opportunity for cross examination, because crossing them in any way, shape or form during a public congressional hearing would be like sticking a 1,000 foot long noose around your neck before jumping off the Sears Tower.
Look, young women are naive. As a much older women, Iâm telling you that youâd better get some gumption when this happens to know that you **donât **want it to happen again and be pro-active. I saw that this was a report on KABC, a pretty right leaning station. I can think of a few black women who would smack the offender into the middle of next week if that happened. This is not the time to be a wimp.
Iâm going to dismiss it as BS. Why are all the women he is alleged to have touched all republicans? Where have they been since he ran for office? These Republican women could have come forward years ago during the Senate race. Why is this woman just now coming frth when this has been in the media for weeks? Because there has been no MSM attention on Franken and tremendous amount of focus on Trump and his criminal administration.
