In reply to the discussion: An uncomfortable number of people here missing the point of #metoo and people like Al Franken [View all]wellst0nev0ter
(7,509 posts)Three named accusers are lying, two-faced trumpanzees who voted for a known pussygrabber, but all of a sudden "remembered" that Franken groped them.
Leann Tweeden had that infamous picture to back up her song and dance, but if you scratch the surface a little, you'll find out she committed arguably worse acts on the USO tours, which would explain why Tweeden was quick to accept Franken's apology and not press the issue. Franken has apologized for the photo, but he denies the more serious charges.
The claims made by Lindsay Menz and Stephanie Kemplin were never corroborated by any witnesses at BOTH public events. Not by the photographers, nobody. Menz husband who took the photo didn't see any groping, he only says he only learned of it later.
There are four anonymous accusers, and you can't tell me if they aren't the same individual feeding different outlets bullshit.
The last accuser, Tina Dupuy, is most credible and at the same time the most baffling. She basically gives a dramatic account of Al Franken holding her on the waist during a photo shoot -- that's it.
If she is uncomfortable over that level of touching, she had better make herself clear from the get-go because adults engage in "worse" intimate behavior with strangers without any problems. It is also maddening that Tina's allegation was the one that forced Franken out.
