What happened to believing women when they speak out against powerful male accusers? On Thursday, evidence broke of a 2006 incident in which Democrat Al Franken groped and forcibly kissed TV and radio personality Leeaan Tweeden. Photographic proof backs up her claim.

Yet, MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt described the now-Senator's predatory behavior this way: “[Franken] took a picture, which his office now says was of a joke, that showed him potentially — not actually groping — but mock-groping her while she was asleep.”

In the noon hour, Hunt repeated her mild description. This time, she didn't cite the Franken staff and made it her own: “Then she also published a picture that was given to her of her asleep with Senator Franken mock-groping her.” This isn’t how Tweeden described the unwanted attention. She didn’t offer qualifiers such as “mock-groping” or “not actually groping”:

Imagine how many pink hats would be broken out of the closet if a Fox reporter said this?

Doesn't apply to Democrats.

i was at my grandmas house earlier and she, being an old lady, watches all those chick day shows like the voice....

well, as were talking, the lovely ladies on the talk, including sharon osbourne, were all openly mocking the incident saying how if they were the ones to be groped by creepy arse franken, they would frame it and hang it in their home because it is "funny"

absolutely amazing.

Does she think we're supposed to believe that picture shows everything that happened that night? For all we know Franken did worse things after that.

I don’t care who you are, that’s a perfectly accurate description of the photo.

So, she won't mind the never ending line of men mock groping her from this day forward.

Cool, is she gropable or does she look like every other MSNBC hag?

There is no ""believing"" here.

It happened!



Al Franken is pure garbage.

I strongly dislike Franken, but how isn't this the truth?

At the same time the picture isn’t evidence of groping. But let’s keep throwing kindling on the moral panic fire based on political affiliations!

So if the picture would have been him holding a banana between his dick with the other end one inch way from her mouth, surely you would consider that inappropriate? I don't see a lot of difference here.

Now do you actually believe MSNBC would be using this same rational if it were Trump or any other republican?

No they would not...

This is why they have absolutely no credibility...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The allegation stories are ridiculous but one side is clearly getting a pass. Yearbooks are signs of rape, but a picture of AF grabbing a sleeping woman's tits isn't "real evidence"
