Meanwhile, a woman whose Kavanaugh accusations were literally "I don't really remember this+it might not be true" was written up in a piece which afforded absolutely zero space to ppl speaking on his behalf. She's a partisan, she dresses up her activism in the garb of journalism.

Some negative context Jane Mayer would've given if Franken was a GOP'er: Franken would destroy nominees that came before him in the Judiciary Committee for jokes they made in the past. Remember him attacking Don Willett for saying he'd like to marry bacon?https://reason.com/2017/11/16/senate-dems-pathetic-attack-don-willett/ …

Now Franken is saying his photo was just a joke, though he'd have demolished a nominee who came before him w/the same photo. You'd have thought Jane Mayer, diligent+conscientious reporter that she purportedly is, would have thought to bring up that incident. But shockingly, no!

Listen, what I'm saying here is that Mayer is not an honest reporter: her work is not merely partisan in its slant but untrustworthy & nobody w/any self-respect should push it as anything other than the work of an explicit activist who cares less about truth than Dem Squad Goals.

We'll never know if margin of victory for Franken in 2008 was based on vote fraud or not, despite what people confidently claim. What I do know is Dem side out-lawyered the GOP fair+square. And Franken was a good Senator for MN, took the job seriously. https://twitter.com/wfhound/status/1153278792141590529 …

Replying to @EsotericCD
Franken's smug was pretty grating to me, but he was always re-elected by large margins so I don't see that the good people of Minnesota had any problem with it.

You just didn't like Jesse Ventura, did you?

Jesse Ventura was a refreshing anecdote to the typical "Minnesota Nice," actually, which as everyone who's spent extended time there understands is really just intense passive-aggression. And I appreciate that approach, actually. I really like it. It's subtle.
