Why are we so quick to rush to judgement on Al Franken?

89. Same here

Let’s step back and look at this.

First, there is no way this is comparable to Roy Moore or Donald Trump. This was a single incident as described by one woman. Trump and Moore are accused my multiple women over a number of years.

Second, the accuser has gone from seething with rage every time she hears Franken speak or sees his face to accepting his apology immediately once he released a statement and welcomed an ethics inquiry. All in a space of less than 12 hours. And it’s a public statement not a personal apology.

Third, given how they’ve pounced never let anyone tell you about the “liberal media.” There’s been no fact-checking or investigation of this accusation. Everything in the allegation has been accepted as fact even though there are plenty of areas of inquiry. Hell, a person claiming to have been the military escort for Franken has disputed the accusers account in Twitter reply - has any one followed up with him? Did anyone see anything strange on the tour? Did Franken commit this kind of behavior with any other women in this or any other USO tour? Why did she use such sensational language about grabbing her breasts when it’s not clear he even touched her in that photo and if he did she was wearing body armor?

I’ve already seen one tweet of hers from 2011 where she has a picture of her and Franken and seems to look on it fondly - are there others? Has anyone mentioned she is a birther? Shouldn’t that impact her credibility at all?

There are a lot of unanswered questions - never mind the quotes from Hannity and the prediction from Roger Stone.
