Photo of al Franken at the Minnesota State Fair, 2010 [View all]

Notice his shirt. It's different from the Lindsay Menz photo, which she claimed was taken at the 2010 state fair.

How many different shirts did he wear to the State Fair in 2010?

Well, knowing my behavior, I could easily deny inappropriate activity... brooklynite Nov 2017 #19
I've assumed they're enacting a strategy to differentiate from Moore's, Hortensis Nov 2017 #42
What evidence? Nt cwydro Nov 2017 #10
The OP is claiming the shirts are evidence that it didn't happen brooklynite Nov 2017 #20
The OP is wrong about the shirts oberliner Nov 2017 #33
Remember, this fair goes for many days. It is possible he went more than one day. LBM20 Nov 2017 #2
Yes, ten days. Always. Mister Ed Nov 2017 #34
Search shows both shirts. Don't these things go on more than one day JI7 Nov 2017 #3
Can you link to the photo with the dark shirt in 2010? mainer Nov 2017 #5
I did a Google search and pics with both shirts came up JI7 Nov 2017 #7
Remember the White shirt in 2010 when Wellstone ruled Nov 2017 #14
Are we now at the level here where bagelsforbreakfast Nov 2017 #6
No, wearing a white polo shirt at a fair is evidence of innocence mainer Nov 2017 #9
Interesting. cwydro Nov 2017 #11
Curious, isn't it. Esp. posts from the upper northeast. n/m bagelsforbreakfast Nov 2017 #21
The upper northeast? oberliner Nov 2017 #35
Some of the extremely vocal posters calling for Franken's head have IDs that use state names. Thor_MN Nov 2017 #36
People responding to these flame wars is what is keeping this topic going JonLP24 Nov 2017 #37
That is the object of trolling, start a fire and sit back and watch it burn. Thor_MN Nov 2017 #38
Got it oberliner Nov 2017 #43
I would put it more like noticing a theme. Thor_MN Nov 2017 #44
I think there were a few alerts as well Drahthaardogs Nov 2017 #48
Just as well he wasn't wearing a blue dress !!! OnDoutside Nov 2017 #16
It will come out I hope from the Ethic investigations but Iliyah Nov 2017 #8
I don't doubt Franken is being targeted, but VMA131Marine Nov 2017 #13
This "kompromat" hasn't been proven to be effective. So far it looks awfully flimsy. n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #22
Do people really think the Fair happens on only one day? WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #12
Just interesting that I can't find any photo in that blue shirt at the 2010 fair mainer Nov 2017 #15
Good point. There should be plenty of Dem supporters who would have had their picture taken OnDoutside Nov 2017 #18
If he was there on multiple days, why do no Google searches show him wearing the dark shirt pnwmom Nov 2017 #23
Dispositive of nothing except a penchant for daily shirt changes Stinky The Clown Nov 2017 #17
Possibly more than daily if he felt sweaty and was meeting people. n/t Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #24
Where are any photos of him at the 2010 fair in any shirt but a white one? n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #26
I don't know. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #27
Do you know about Google Images? pnwmom Nov 2017 #30
Video of him wearing the same blue shirt as in the Menz photo posted below oberliner Nov 2017 #32
Look on Google Images. Lots of pictures in him in that white shirt at the 2010 state fair. pnwmom Nov 2017 #25
