Looks like the vast right wing conspiracy in action today re Franken.

The photo has already been debunked. Internet Trump trolls--"Curses! Foiled again!"

3. Operation CHANGE SUBJECT

Lump everyone in together.
An investigation will show her ties to the right.
May not has been very well thought out by Franken but I'm sorry she's in it to help out the Republicans.

7. Staged. Bad choice of humor yes.

[NCTraveler]

17. Seems he knows.

I think he is looking forward to an investigation.

[Marengo]

5. In what way has the photo been debunked?

[Kirk Lover]

8. I don't know...maybe witnesses saying this is bullshit and it's a staged photo in which

she participated in. I'll bet more witnesses will be coming forward. I'm sure there were plenty of people around and on that plane.

[Marengo]

10. Okay, but why didnt Franken state she knew and consented from the start?

[Kirk Lover]

11. Because regardless, the photo is 'inappropriate' so he's taking responsibility for that

and not making excuses. Besides, that's what the witnesses are for.

[Marengo]

12. Where in that statement does HE day she knew and consented?

[Kirk Lover]

13. In HER story SHE says she consented to the kiss.

[Marengo]

14. Im referring to the photo

[Kirk Lover]

15. A witness..the photographer has come out and said she was not sleeping and in on the joke...

there are many more people aboard that plane so I expect more witnesses to come forward.

She is a Faux shill. Nobody should be saying shit about her playboy pics and all that...that is irrelevant...but her ties to faux and Hannity should be explored.

[Marengo]

20. If that is the case, then why didnt Franken make that clear from the start?

[Kirk Lover]

21. I already told you...because he is taking responsibility for the 'inappropriate' photo and

there is no excuse for inappropriateness so even if she was in on the joke he is still taking responsibility for the 'crudeness' of the photo.

[Marengo]

22. Ah, so the photo hasnt been proven to be debunked as staged as the OP and yourself has claimed,

In which she consented to be a willing participant.

[onenote]

6. And yet al has apologized for the photo and described it as inappropriate

[Kingofalldems]

9. See above.

[Marengo]

16. See what? Where does he state she consented to the photo?

[standingtall]

18. Does he state anywhere that

she did not?

[Marengo]

19. The wording of his response to the accusation suggests she didnt offer consent, and it seems

More plausible that if she did, that would have been his first and unequivocable response.
