Next up on the Sexual Misconduct Parade - Al Franken!

[iceberg]

Franken should be subjected to the same rush to judgement that Moore received. Right?

Despite being in the public eye for the last 30 years or so, he is now branded a sexual predator over a photo? See how fucking stupid we are?

Meanwhile, we have 3 carrier groups off the coast of North Korea, multiple undeclared wars being fought, a GINORMOUS bond, real estate, and stock bubble about to burst...BUT....

Please don't let that distract you from Creepy Al Franken or Judge Moore!! That's the shit that really matters...

oh wait...

SQUIRREL!!!!!

We don't need to "rush to judgment" because Franken already admitted it and apologized.
Unlike Moore.

he apologized for the pic. he denied the rest.

 

[MarcATL]

Sure, no problem.
Once the same applies to ALL that get's caught red-handed.
However, what we see instead are rightwingers overly enthusiastic and gleeful to report when Democrats do it, but totally defensive and denying when Republicans do it.
You people are uncanny.
And that's putting it in the nicest terms possible.

I haven't read through the thread, but I'm willing to wager not one liberal will defend this.

Keep 'em coming.

The Lefties are acting just like the Righties do.

Deflect, spin, attack.

The two ends are very similar in their behaviors.
.

They're deflecting and spinning to what?

Is anyone defending his actions?

Be honest for once.

 

[basquebromance]

Senators called for Moore's expulsion even though he's not a senator, but won't do the same for Franken, who is a senator.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Tweeden’s story is pretty detailed.

Is she being called a liar?

 

[MACAULAY]

Well, it has been fun watching all the partisan hacks defending Moore for the last week show their true hypocritical selves

Personally, I just want the same standards applied.

Like running both Franken and Moore out of the Senate.

Or, if Moore doesn't make it, run Franken out. He sexually assaulted a sleeping woman; there's photographic evidence; and the turd has had to admit it. He should be gone from the US Senate.

Moore's latest accuser said he padded her on the rear in his office 30 plus years ago. IF that happened, she at least could turn around and slap the shit out of him. But the victim of Franken's FELONIOUS ASSAULT couldn't even defend herself.

He's not just a sick perv....he' a coward.

GONE...GONE...GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the U. S. Senate!

Unfortunately, we have a President who BRAGGED on the air, to millions of listeners and viewers, that he busted into women's dressing rooms to try to catch them naked.

This was not a fantasy. This was not locker room talk. This was not a hypothetical.

He actually did this, as was confirmed by some of those women, including one who was underaged.

He bragged about his predatory behavior. In an on-air broadcast with a fellow pervert.

He also bragged about abusing his celebrity and molesting women in the most vulgar way possible.

The pseudocons didn't care, and still don't.

They have set the gold standard along with the creep they hired to run our country, hilariously claiming he will make America great again.

Good try, no cigar... Bubba beat you to it.

to be fair, most on both sides are dogging franken. i've not seen many defend him.

then again i ignore a vast majority in here.

I agree most of both sides are calling out Franken, many doing so as they still defend Moore to their dying breath.

well post up a photo of roy groping someone.

even has a picture in there grabbing the breasts of the woman on the USO tour while she was sleeping.

he needs to resign and step down.

Why is this whole thing starting to remind me more and more of the Salem Witch Trials?

The difference of course is that in many of these situations there is a valid complaint to be made, but the tone of the situation seems to be devolving into hysteria.

Unless it's Trump. You left that out.

Hey, nobody's calling for Trump to resign because of his serial sexual harassment.

Lol, another good try. But no cigar

i think a lot of this is simply witch hunting and our latest craze/fad to hit people with. just another sign of how fucked up we've made this country with our double, triple and quadruple standards all around.

gonna be a rough ride out of shit shithole.

photo evidence, no photo evidence. It isn't hard.

Yearbook with Roy Moore's alleged handwriting.

Dems: He's a child molestor definitely!!!! Proof right there!!!

Picture of Al Franken groping a woman.

Dems: Umm... well... Roy Moore framed him!!!!

Ha, can you frame the situation in any more of a distorted partisan way?! the 6 women that have come forward say that he sexually harassed them along with the 30+ sources backing up their accounts, that’s why people believe what they do about Moore. The yearbook is a small piece of that story.

Nobody is denying what Franken did. The kiss IMO is a larger violation than the picture. Both inappropriate but neither criminal.

Moore and Franken situations aren’t even in the same league for comparison.

 

[eddiew37]

Transparent defection noted.

Amazing how similar the two ends of the spectrum can be.
.

You want to hang every congressman that grabbed some?? Go for it I'm with you My point was Franken doesn't have a history of it like trump and moore

You sure?

No but not any so far have come forward and wonder why it took so long to tag franken and if more show up he should step down Show moore and trump the best way to handle it

The Moore accusers waited 4 decades.

Oh. Damn.

True but there were many more than ONE

Al Franken WAS one of my favorite Senators.

Yeah..mine too..but he's got to go..that picture..is damning...what a perv..he groped her while she was sleeping??

Woman accuses Al Franken of kissing, groping her without consent

I'm the biggest prude here according to some, but I don't see what he did as being in the same class as what Moore was accused of, or Weinstein. Those things were for personal sexual pleasure. Franken's behavior was more in the Trump class. He obviously thought the pic was funny, which it wasn't, but giving a woman a feel over a kevlar vest? C'mon, that's not sexual--that's disrespectful, rude and ticks all the boxes of a guy who is low class and tasteless. Predators don't take pictures.
So go ahead and kick him out if low class and tasteless is the bar. It doesn't matter his politics.
I was hoping the groping list of the legislators wasn't going to be made public, but I guess we're going to hear about all of them/

You must not have read her account of the incident.
There was a lot more going on than just the picture.

I read the link I found since the OP didn't provide one. He forced a kiss that he insisted on rehearsing and she was demurring on. Maybe he was horny or maybe he was just insistent on rehearsing it; I'm not an actor, I don't know why you would or wouldn't.
That's all I read about.

She told him no and he forced himself on her.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

It's not just a photo of her with the predator, it's a photo of the predator caught in the act.

Just as there is audio of a predator bragging of his predation, with confirmation by his victims.

Your point?

And you are suffering from a comprehension failure. Visiting Epstein's island has been accepted by dipshits as evidence of participating in pedophilia. It's bullshit. Just like posting a photo of someone with another person later found out to be heinous, trying to imply that person is also heinous by association.

I've heard guys my entire life bragging about their sexual exploits... your point? There's a guy that hangs out in my buddy's sports pub, if I believed him, he's getting laid 24/7, 365.

We have women who have confirmed Trump did exactly what he claimed he did.

You are willfully refusing to absorb this fact.

And 11 have said it never happened:

Of the 11 (contestants) who said they don’t remember Trump coming into the changing room, some said it was possible that it happened while they weren’t in the room or that they didn’t notice. But most were dubious or dismissed the possibility out of hand.

Allison Bowman, former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA, cast doubt on whether it happened. "These were teenage girls," Bowman said. "If anything inappropriate had gone on, the gossip would have flown."

The allegations about Donald Trump and Miss Teen contestants

You need to explore news other than far-left outlets,

I'm pretty sure I remember him admitting it somewhere--not to "lurk," of course, but as the head of the operation just to "check on things." Right, Donald.
But anyway, I don't think he's ever denied the dressing room thing.

I think you're right, but I don't think he admitted goii

[Zander]

My prognostication- Al Franken will never resign. The Senate will not expel him. He may be censured by the Senate.

 

[basquebromance]

Franken released a second statement apologizing to Leeann Tweeden "and to everyone who counts on me to be an ally and supporter and champion of women"
