(7,509 posts)Franken denied he ever said "it's my right as an entertainer" but I guess it's his word against his accuser.
But if this were an actual court case, Franken would be given the right to face his accuser because how could you prove anything otherwise?
So at this point, we have four women who refuse to come forward and make themselves known to Franken. One Franken didn't actually touch.
One claims that Franken improperly kissed her... in front of an audience of 750 people and of whom nobody will corroborate her story. This particular accusation was so weak even the conservative station that aired Tweeden's lies passed on it when she shopped it around.
The other two claims Franken groped them during similarly public events, yet there were no witnesses. Go figure.
The 24 women who have accused Trump have all offered their names because they know their cases have merit. Although granting anonymity is necessary in this toxic media environment we live in, but it is also unsettling that people can be "cancelled" based on anonymous, unverified accusations.
