In reply to the discussion: Breaking: Franken pic metadata proves Tweeden is LYING [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)98. Most of us felt the same way. Except I thought Kasich was the most formidable.
And you're also right; Franken has apologized and she has accepted it. And she also has said theres no reason for any resignation talk. Its done and over with.

I do not believe the "escort" has been identified...or proven to exist beyond some twitter posts.

If it was staged, Franken would have said just that. He didn't. Because it wasn't.

What are you talking about? He apologized for participating in a gag photo of poor taste.

He's apologizing for an uncouth, disrespectful punk pic...but not groping.

Do some critical thinking. Her claim that he groped her in the photo is false. He is not touching...
