    The Trump supporter who claims Franken grabbed her butt sure had a big smile on her face in that picture.

    Maybe she liked having it squeezed (or maybe it never happened).

    Menz told CNN that what happened immediately after she took the photo with Franken that summer day in 2010 has also stayed with her. Standing nearby was another politician -- then-Minnesota Rep. John Kline.
    As she was getting ready to take a picture with Kline, Menz said the congressman asked her whether they should "mutually put our arms around each other" -- an interaction that struck her as being in stark contrast with what she had experienced moments ago with Franken

    So after one politician supposedly grabbed her ass you went up to another one and asked HIM to take a similar picture with her?

    Is that how women who have been molested act?

    Gimmee a break

    Trump said that that only works if you're super rich and famous, otherwise they don't let you.

    I really don't understand the level of investment liberals are putting into Franken here. I mean, the gov of MN would surely nominate a more maintstream democrat, so the seat itself isn't in play. Why work so publicly to ensure that his behavior is absolved? And isn't that really the only question that matters? It is, afterall, a conversation about behavior. And if, as it appears, mr Franken engaged in the lewd and lascivious, why is it so important to gloss over that? Come on LIbs. Can't eat your own dogfood? Or is that only for the rest of the basket of deplorables???

    I think they feel that if Frankin falls, then that blast the door open for many more to. Collectivist have 0 class, 0 standards, and act accordingly. It appears more and more that collectivist are really into this kinda behavior. More bill Clinton victims are coming.

    He doesn't admit touching her, and he clearly isn't
    The bikini model attacks were sexist and offensive.
    As I've said he probably needs to resign

    Unfortunately, you and your liberal ilk won't insist on it.

    I hope he doesn't and fights it out. He will be the new face of the DNC in 2018/2020.

    But ya, he should resign. That would be taking responsibility for his actions. Its unlikely.

    As a Minnesotan I know attendance at the State Fair averages about 100,000 per day. On that basis the claimant should be able to produce many witnesses if her charges are accurate.

    Who's ***** did he grab? He was telling a joke that has been around forever. Most Americans understand that.

    Lol...Wrong. Most Americans aren't amoral turd polishers.
    Any net that snares Franken would have to snare your great orange hope as well.
    He has a long history of women accusing him of sexual assault.
    I suspect that you people are being rope-a-doped by the libs on this.
    They know that any action against their own perverts will have to be applied to your great orange pervert as well, and they are willing to sacrifice a few of their own to get it done.

    CNN? Aren't they fake news? :p

    Anyway,
    "I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture," Franken said. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
    ...
    Menz's father, Mark Brown, was also in the radio booth that day but didn't witness the moment. But he told CNN that his daughter told him about the incident right away.
    Menz's mother, Jodi Brown, also told CNN that she discussed the incident with her daughter immediately after it happened. She said she distinctly recalls her son-in-law saying to her: "Our senator just groped my wife right in front of me."
    In the photo of Menz and Franken, the side of the senator's face is pressed up against Menz's but the lower halves of their bodies are not shown. Both of them are smiling.


    Creepy. With so many people corroborating the event, it certainly seems credible. And I guess even Facebook has a record of her claim from the time of the incident:

    Menz posted the photo with Franken on Facebook at the time, on August 27, 2010. Her sister, Cari Thunker, commented under the photo: "Sorry, but you two aren't Bibles (sic) width apart" -- a reference, Thunker explained to CNN, to how physically close Menz and Franken were in the photo.
    Menz responded to her sister on Facebook: "Dude -- Al Franken TOTALLY molested me! Creeper!" (The exchange is visible to Menz's Facebook friends.)


    It was legal groping, unfortunately.

    Minnesota statutes state that "intentional touching of the clothing covering the immediate area of the buttocks" is not considered criminal sexual conduct.

    Will the central nexus order the collective to defend Franken?

    How many Democrats have defended Franken as compared to right wingers defending Ready Roy.

    Why do you think he went into politics? Mainly because he wasn't that funny to begin with.
