Watching Senator Gillibrand on ALL IN

75. It is not one woman, it is 8

And who are you to judge whether a woman is credible or not. Last time I checked, political affiliation had nothing to do with a victim's credibility. This is a textbook example of why not all women are comfortable with coming forward because they feel they'll have their credibility and character attacked (as you did for Leann Tweeden). One of his victims specifically did not give her name in fear of internet attacks (like those on Tweeden).

Per the article I posted before. The first incident is a Democratic staffer.

<<This week on Dec. 6, the former aide told Politico that the senator tried to “forcibly kiss her” after a taping of his radio show in 2006. She said that she ducked to avoid him and that, as she tried to leave the room, Franken told her: “It’s my right as an entertainer.”>>

<<A former elected official of a New England state told Jezebel on Nov. 30 that Franken tried to give her a “wet, open-mouthed kiss” onstage during an event in 2006, one year before he announced his Senate run. “It was onstage in front of a full theater,” she said. “It was insidious. It was in plain sight and yet nobody saw it.”>>

The incident when he says "it's my right as an entertainer" is very similar to the first line in the infamous Access Hollywood tape. The latter started with "when you're a star..."


But yes I'm a GOP enabler who sees things in black and white because I choose to believe women and I stand behind a senator who has a history of standing up for sexual assault victims over a man who has groped 8 women and I would not want anywhere near my (hypothetical) daughter.
