There are some really shitty things in her account that Franken needs to be held accountable for. However, the "grope" looks like pantomime to me, without actual physical contact. Hard to tell from one still photo, though.
Grabbing a woman's breasts while she is asleep on the plane is not a fucking joke. It's not funny. It's dead wrong. I don't care who he is now or who he was then.https://twitter.com/LeeannTweeden/status/931176738586890241 …
I’ve decided it’s time to tell my story. #MeToo

I should add that this does not excuse the disgusting intent.

This mob mentality lumping everyone together is WRONG. He kissed her during a skit rehearsal...for a KISS. Are actors going to be accused every time they kiss their costars according to script? He posed for a joke photo WHEN HE WAS AN ACTOR. In bad taste, but not scandalous.

I'm sorry, but this is getting fucking silly. I'm tired of the political correctness. Have you watched any of the movies he was in or wrote or tv he was in or wrote? It was all boobies jokes. It's time to step off the high horse.
-
Um responding to people being creeps isn’t political correctness.
-
Um, he disputes her memory of the rehearsal and the photo is meant to funny. Of course, we can't have funny anymore now that the shrill left has taken over. BTW, I'm a progressive and I'm sick of the shrill left.
-
Could you explain the joke in the photo then? Maybe that would help.
-
I think it’s “I’m pretending to grope an unconscious woman lolololol”

I think a better examination of that photo is in order. Is he actually touching her? Is this assault or a joke in bad taste? We need to ask and have a duty to find out before we demand his head. Recall, she said she rebuffed a kiss and was asleep when she alleges the grope.

Although not worse than other experiences - there exist an added dimension of creep factor that this occurred to a servicemember. Even if I tend to like and support the person this behavior has no excuse.

It appears to be a staged photo and looking at better quality pic close it appears that he is not actually making contact.

This is some minor league offense compared to much of what we've been finding. Seems to me that an apology is in order, maybe not a firing line.

If Al Franken has to resign then so does Trump.
-
Trump never groped anyone, he boasted of possibly doing it. HUGE difference!! 1 is an action, the other are words describing an action
-
Trumps "words" enables and dignifies behaviors like groping or worse. (Why am I trying to appeal to a Trump supporter with Reason? I will try again) You will understand when you are older little one. *encouraging smile*
-
Again, that's subjective. Did you run out & grab a woman by the p***y cause you heard Trump say that? No. You have more sense than that. IT'S LOCKER ROOM TALK, CHILL TF OUT!!
-
My take on Trump? Yeah. He is the subject we are discussing. To generalize objectively any leader talking proudly of behaving that way impacts the culture of the group they lead negatively. I'm this case our whole country
-
Do you understand the term "subjective" or did you hear someone use it in a similar circumstance and thought you would sound smart using it to defend Donald fuckin Trump?
-
Doesn't matter: we have the 1A & Trump's entitled to his rights, same as you & I.
-
He can say it. Yes the law grants him that right however there is a difference what's A right and what IS right. If our president is going to set a bad example he should loose his job. I'd loose mine if I acted like him.
