Keith OlbermannVerified account

Don’t do this Keith. We don’t need you to be Hannity for the Left. This detail is completely inconsequential to her account. It does not at all disprove that he could’ve forcefully kissed her during a rehearsal. To disparage her purely on this speculation is irresponsible.

But you’re ok with disparaging Franken based on incomplete information.

Considering that Franken has admitted to behaving inappropriately, apologized & that Leann Tweeden has accepted his apology, yeah. I’m good with that. At this point continuing to press the issue is superfluous unless Franken is forced to resign, which seems unlikely at this time.

Franken had no choice but to react the way he did; out of respect for actual victims. Now the truth is coming out and @LeeannTweeden needs to be held accountable for the serious crimes she may have committed against a U.S. Senator.

Thanks for your reply, dude who has never posted a tweet before.

that dude just owned ur argument

To presume that she lied must implicate that she had another motive. Considering that she has excepted his apology and said that she does not want him to be forced to resign, what exactly do you think that motive would be?

It’s far more reasonable, given the information available, to believe her, than it is to throw out her entire account on this one detail.

He admitted to harassing her though....

No, actually he didn't. He said he remembered it differently, that's a big difference. Her story is starting to fall apart.

Getting into Clinton territory with the parsing of words. I guess it depends on what your definition of is is.

This has nothing to do with Clinton.

You didn't understand my comment.

No, I understood. I disagree.

I meant he was parsing words like Clinton. You seemed to think I was comparing his actions to Clinton's.

No, I knew what you meant and I disagree. He said he did not remember it happening like that and facts are coming out that suggest he may be right.

Her claim was about rehearsal. This is a tactic of the right. You are better than this.

And you know that's the rehearsal how? You know that's the rehearsal she was talking about how?

That's the actual show, not the rehearsal. But yes it's the scene in the skit that involved the kiss.

Thank you for the correction. I saw video of the show where Franken was wearing a costume & a fake beard when he kissed her & that made me think this was a rehearsal since they are holding scripts.

Did you see that video where Franken is wearing a beard and a costume but Tweeden is wearing the exact same thing, they are on stage, and they don't have scripts?

Was he dressed as Saddam? That clip?

Yes, he was. She was wearing the same outfit as in this other kiss and they kissed there, too. I thought she only kissed him twice.
