Is the groping that Franken is being accused depicted in that photo?

If so, I gotta be honest... that seems like a whole lotta nothing. I mean, I wouldn't be mad if Franken lost his seat, but I'm also a man and I don't like this road we seem to be going down with what's being called sexual assault these days. The guy was clearly just joking around like people do every day... and he didn't even really touch her.

So is there more to the story that I'm not aware of or is it just that photo?

Its most likely contrived, partisan bullshite, from both sides. Just like on every other issue. Every day.

Pretty sure a fist full of tit without asking/while a woman is sleeping has always been considered sexual assault, even if u jes playin.

I'm not a lawyer, though.

That's not what I said, dummy. I said I don't think this qualifies as sexual assault:





He was being silly and not even touching her.

The photo follows the story she told about a trip overseas with Franklen and others to support the troops. She had words with him over him trying to kiss her.

Other women are now coming out about Franklen. The Sexalanche has started...

The optics of the picture is all that is important here. Like another poster said, how do we know that a second or two before that photo that he didn't actually have his hands on the position of her breasts? It's all about optics.

We are using the democrats definition of groping and assault. Nail him to the cross.

I don't care that he did what he did. The only thing I care about is that he's treated as equally as shitty as Roy Moore is being treated. But, as we all know, the media will treat AF with kid gloves while claiming that a forged note in a yearbook is irrefutable proof of rape.

He forcibly kissed her.

She said don't do that again.

He took this pic as retaliation and she only learned about it after the tour was over.


You can debate the terminology all you want but it's an absolutely shitty thing to do. At bare minimum, it's sexual harassment.

Republicans had nothing to do with this. Wasn't the NY Times or Washington Post that "broke" the story. This woman is pissed about it and she is standing alone and telling the story.

Funny you say bipartisan when it is definitely not. You do realize Franklen is a democrat. Schumer is a democrat. Schumer is calling for an ethics probe into Franklen. Franklen came out in the last hour and says he supports an ethics probe into his own conduct.

Biparisan... hardly. Now I am not even sure you know what that means. Good god.
