Another Woman Says Al Franken Groped Her [View all] brooklynite Sep 2019 OP

I am so damn conflicted about this True Dough Sep 2019 #1

Me too. MuseRider Sep 2019 #30

Why tenuously? BlueStater Sep 2019 #32

Like I said, I WANT to believe him. MuseRider Sep 2019 #63

If Franken wasn't accused of a crime Dem4Life1102 Sep 2019 #33

On that count, I would be concerned about it True Dough Sep 2019 #59

Yes. BlueStater Sep 2019 #62

There would have been due process if he hadn't stepped down. Squinch Sep 2019 #53

The pattern of his conduct seems pretty clear to anyone who don't have their hands over their eyes. Blue_true Sep 2019 #89

So let's investigate the allegations then. BlueStater Sep 2019 #92

That's true True Dough Sep 2019 #94

Yeah ..... she won't use her name. These nameless victims, Use your name or don't come forward. trueblue2007 Sep 2019 #112

This accuser is remaining anonymous, which is her right. n/t John1956PA Sep 2019 #2

What is with all the anonymity? BlueStater Sep 2019 #3

no but DonCoquixote Sep 2019 #4

No doubt. BlueStater Sep 2019 #6

The article talks a lot about why accusers choose to stay anonymous, and in fact this new accuser WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #7

Thank you. BlueStater Sep 2019 #12

The simplest answer would be that he frequently groped people, and people like him. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #23

Bingo!!!!!!!!! nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #90

Unless someone wants to become a celebrity -and possibly be invited places to speak on what happened PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #16

Why does this only seem to happen to Franken? BlueStater Sep 2019 #21

Yes, I agree. Even if Franken did this, which I doubt very much, why is he being held to smirkymonkey Sep 2019 #75

If they come out anonymously they don't have to prove anything. But even if the came out publicly... brush Sep 2019 #26

on the flip side DonCoquixote Sep 2019 #5

Let Franken deal with it. TidalWave46 Sep 2019 #8

Coming forward now because? kcr Sep 2019 #9

Did you even read the article? Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #25

There is nothing more arrogant than asking someone if they read the article kcr Sep 2019 #31

It actually depends on the circumstances. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #47

It depends on the journalist kcr Sep 2019 #99

Hardly a clickbait farm or tabloid. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #107

Oh Really? BTW, it was The Cut kcr Sep 2019 #108

The Cut was reportiong on the cover story in New York magazine. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #109

Oh, well I stand corrected kcr Sep 2019 #115

An independent source apparently thinks they are. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #117

Based on that website, it means they're not Breitbart. kcr Sep 2019 #120

The article linked to states that it is referring to the cover story of New York. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #124

Good post True Dough Sep 2019 #41

I'm not even sure it was "getting off on 'copping a feel'" Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #52

Didn't Franken recently talk about returning to public life? csziggy Sep 2019 #39

Yes, how timely. defacto7 Sep 2019 #40

What a snarky jerk of a writer Marina Fang is. BlueStater Sep 2019 #42

I imagine New York Magazine had this article on the go for several weeks True Dough Sep 2019 #43

kcr what you're saying is obvious to me nt live love laugh Sep 2019 #105

I wonder if his new SiriusXM radio show Ninga Sep 2019 #10

That and an impeachment n/t kcr Sep 2019 #14

Has he got a new show? cwydro Sep 2019 #15

See... PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #19

Thanks! cwydro Sep 2019 #49

Based on responses like I see here, I can see why she wants to remain anonymous. nt LexVegas Sep 2019 #11

People react to things that bring back unpleasant memories. Blue_true Sep 2019 #95

He gropes only when a camera is on him? Generic Other Sep 2019 #18

I guess they have to keep the left sniping at each other. Gidney N Cloyd Sep 2019 #20

Oh, now that he has a radio show they start up again. Where was this woman 2 years ago? brush Sep 2019 #22

She explained that in the article. She's been afraid it would hurt her career pnwmom Oct 2019 #125

She has a good story, but so did Leeann Tweeden. Just saying. Who are we to believe? brush Oct 2019 #132

I would believe the staffer of Democratic Senator Patty Murray. I think there was a good reason pnwmom Oct 2019 #134

I'd like to know where women think butt grabbing ranks. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #28

If there's a scale, at what number do you think women feeling harmed is legitimate? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #29

Excellent response n/t True Dough Sep 2019 #45

"At what number do you start giving a shit?" TidalWave46 Sep 2019 #51

Great response. Just what a thoughtless post deserves. Blue_true Sep 2019 #98

Not weighing in on the alleged incident, but personally, ecstatic Sep 2019 #80

Apparently you would have gotten over it if someone had reminded you it wasn't rape. Cuthbert Allgood Sep 2019 #113

So, to you, groping is okay as long rusty fender Sep 2019 #82

Why did all of Al's alleged groping incidents occur while he was being photographed? The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #57

Because he had easy access to women's bodies when being photographed. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #61

Okay, I'll ask it...Even if this story is true....is it so out of the question to forgive him? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2019 #103
