Franklin Graham: Attempted rape is not a crime.

[RandySF]

He told CBN News Tuesday, "it's just a shame that a person like Judge Kavanaugh who has a stellar record--that somebody can bring something up that he did as a teenager close to 40 years ago. That's not relevant."

He added, "We've got to look at a person's life and what they've done as an adult and are they qualified for this position so this is just an attempt to smear him."

Graham said, "I hope the Senate is smarter than this and they're not going to let this stop the process from moving forward and confirming this man."

When questioned about the message that such a view sends to sexual abuse victims Graham said, "Well, there wasn't a crime committed. These are two teenagers and it's obvious that she said no and he respected it and walked away."

1. Neither is attempted murder, attempted robbery, attempted kidnapping, attempted burglary,...

Release all those prisoners

[RockRaven]

2. So Franklin won't mind if a larger man attempts to sodomize him, right? It's not a crime, after all.

[Solly Mack]

3. Guess that's how he rationalizes his own uh...non-crimes.

[BeckyDem]

4. No soul, no conscience, all he wants is their creep seated on the court to dominate women.

[dlk]

5. Who Even Cares What One More Egotistical Blowhard Rants About?

He’s merely broadcasting his ignorance. No one is impressed.

[Ilsa]

6. He respected it and walked away? More propaganda.

So much bullshit from franklin graham.

[roamer65]

7. If there is an Antichrist and he/she/it wants to persecute pukes like Graham...

I will eagerly and willlingly join it.

[WePurrsevere]

18. Graham and those other false prophets were/are the...

Anti Christ. They are the false prophets, the 'goats' Jesus spoke about. They pervert and twist the message and words to make money and gain/keep power. There is nothing pro Christ, what Jesus taught in the Gospels, about them.

[roamer65]

21. I know if people like him are in Heaven, I do not want to be there.

I’ll take Hell instead.

[GemDigger]

8. I wonder where he got this information from...

[

b]These are two teenagers and it's obvious that she said no and he respected it and walked away

I am absolutely positive he doesn't have that good a connection to know that he walked away.....

[Hoyt]

9. BS. The situation might need to be investigated to determine if it was attempted rape,

but that’s definitely a crime.

[WhiskeyWulf]

10. Does he think it's also not a sin? nt

[meadowlark5]

11. I wonder what he would think if the fine Mrs. Franklin Graham was almost raped

would he be happy to side with the attempted rapist?

[lunatica]

16. As usual he would blame the woman

Why would he be nicer to his wife? Or a daughter or niece or any other woman?

Maybe he would abstain from doing it in public but in private who knows what harsh treatment he would subject her to?

[peekaloo]

12. Really? His attempt at being a bootlicking asshole should be.

[Garrett78]

13. Franklin Graham is a crime against humanity.

[ooky]

14. Sounds like he's changing the facts of the event she described

to suit the outcome he wants. He's just another asshole doling out right wing propaganda.

[Grassy Knoll]

15. Not A Christian

[oasis]

17. The 15 yr. old girl escaped the room when a 3rd person jumped

on top of her and Kavanaugh, causing all three to fall on the floor. That's my understanding of what happened. Graham is talking out of his ass.

[Ms. Toad]

19. He's not saying attempted rape is not a crime.

He's disputing her recitation of the story - that Kavanaugh did NOT respect it and walk away.

(Not to mention that he appears to be acknowledging he believes Kavanaugh was at the party and had some sexual interacction with Dr. Ford.)

[shadowmayor]

20. He's a butthole

Just like his hate-filled daddy.

[Izzy Blue]

22. Unfvckingbelievable...for starters he has Kavanaugh guilty as charged by Dr. Ford

"that somebody can bring something up that he did as a teenager close to 40 years ago.

That's not relevant."

[sheshe2]

23. Bingo, Izzy.

[marlakay]

24. Well my jury duty I was in

For attempted rape seems to say that isn’t true.

[JDC]

25. Graham really is a POS.

[oberliner]

26. Pretty amazing that CBN put this interview out there

Do they not realize how it makes him look?

[Grammy23]

27. There should be a lot of relieved unsuccessful bank robbers,

hold up artists, car jackers, burglars, rapists and Wannabee swindlers if Franklin’s assertions are true. It is like your “Get Out of Jail Free” card. Your honor, I can’t be convicted of a crime because I failed in my attempt to commit the crime.

Uhm, yea. Try again, Sparky.
