In reply to the discussion: I don't believe a single one of Frankens accusers [View all]hurple
(1,362 posts)who's saying that Al's hands never went anywhere inappropriate... ever. I'm saying that I don't believe he ever did what they claim intentionally with foresight and purposefully with the intention of sexual mis-conduct. I'm saying the accusers are reading into the situations intentions that were not there, making mountains out of molehills, and basically over-reacting to what at worst should be an oopsie. I think at worst, Franken is guilty of overstepping his bounds regarding invading someone's personal space, not sexual harrassment. And, I will continue to think that until someone offers evidence (even circumstantial) of predatory behavior (i.e. mall cops told to watch for him because he has a habit of groping women, or someone to come forward saying it's well-known that he likes to grope women during photo-ops and has since SNL.) So far there is NO corroborative evidence for any of the stories, not one. Not even the photos show anything amiss, nothing. The excuses have been, oh I moved, or I was in shock, but there is no evidence from a look of astonishment in any of the photos I've seen. Not. One.
So far his story stands up to scrutiny, there's do not. Unlike the case against moore, trump, weinstein, spacey, C.K., and others, where the women's stories are holding up under scrunity and theirs are laughable.
I can tell from the photos that he likes to get in tight and "snuggle" with the other person and when celebrities do that, in a photo-line or open public setting, these things happen because you literally have seconds to get in, pose, snap the pic and move to the next person.
