˜Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski victim shames Al Franken accuser for supporting Trump |

MSNBC Blaming the victims of course.

oh it's one of those things like where's the indictment.

the explanation here - in case you really are as thick as you let on - is that Franklin will leave the senate at the christmas break, giving his appointed replacement some time to familiarize themselves with his work.

hope this somehow prevents 2 weeks of "where's his resignation?"

His name isn't Franklin... his name isn't even Frankin...

It's FRANKEN!

I would agree if it wasn't for 1 er 2 little things, he apologized not once, but twice

His apologies were non-apologies. The kind of "I'm sorry you're offended" apology or the "I didn't do that but I'm sorry if you thought I did" bullshit, or in the case of the photo the mitigating apology "sorry for the bad joke."

In the case of Roy Moore, his defenders have equivocated over the whether a minor can consent. They say 14 year olds used to marry grown men. When Roy Moore says he likes to date young women, it's fine because don't they all? You could just as easily say that Al Franken might not be technically touching Leeann Tweeden in that photo. Plenty of people are willing to bullshit in defense of Roy Moore but none of that bullshit is applied to Al Franken.

And if he didn't give any apology at all I would say innocent until proven guilty, the picture a person can see it was a gag when it was taken what happened after the click of the camera, and it is still degrading to Her.

Yet these are the same people who stroke out over Muhammad marrying an underage girl. In the 7th century.

Quit picking on Al. He is now going to be the full time salaried Rep. for the Somali Tribal Leaders who are in Minnesota. The plan is to populate the small towns with Somali's then when they get the majority vote take those towns over. Eventually they will be running Minnesota. Can you imagine fat sloppy Al as the Parade Drum Major?
