What Makes Me Most Angry about the Al Franken Situation [View all]

Last edited Fri Dec 22, 2017, 06:09 AM - Edit history (2)

What makes me the most angry about this whole thing is that it was very obviously a right wing hit job. the right wing was running a child molestor for Senate. Yet some democrats felt like they had to defend themselves .

as if republicans were forced to support perverted scum like trump and moore because of Franken . FUCK THAT. not even because of bill clinton who had millions spent investigating him and only showed he was an adulterer .

the first Franken accusor was a right wing piece of shit FUCKING BIRTHER that supports the pervert scum trump and moore. and then other BS accusations came out where the pic or whatever evidence they claimed to have went against their claims. and then the attention seeking no talent TYT idiot Tina Dupuy who thought it would help get her attention and help her career.

the women who actually worked for Franken throughout decades were ignored and instead the words of a fucking birther piece of shit was allowed to stand.

and then there is the fact we see this shit happen AGAIN AND AGAIN. the swift boat liars, benghazi, birther crap etc etc. it followed the same fucking pattern .

If Max Cleland was running for office today would the response to right wing attacks on him be to demand an apology from him for not being sufficiently wounded in war ??????

(also want to add the reason Franken was targeted was mostly because of his exposing the Russia connection with his questioning. at a time when democrats have no control of govt at the national level, Franken was the most effective we had)
