In reply to the discussion: So, here is a picture of Leanne Tweeden grabbing the guitar players ass & dry humping [View all]LenaBaby61
(6,974 posts)From Tweeden being a right-winged nut job and birther buddy of Hannity & contributor to Faux Noose, to her showing that picture of her and Franken to Hannity a while back and the backstory being bought up NOW, to Roger Stone (Minion of Lee Atwater, the king of racism, slime and filth) KNOWING about her going public with her allegations of Franken before they came out, because Stone knew that Franken "was the next fish in the barrel," just like he knew Podesta "was the next fish in the barrel" concerning Wikileaks/Hacked DNC emails etc. to knowing how Stone/Bannon et all LOVE practicing dirty tricks to no end, has me now comfortable feeling that this whole thing appears to me to be a take down job on Franken because he so destroyed beauguard's credibility. I put nothing past Atwater acolyte Roger Stone, or Nazi Bannon or ANYBODY in that racist, RWNJ crew.
Lastly, I don't think that there was anything wrong with Tweeden going public with her accusations against Franken for what she felt was him groping/touching her and making her feel wholly uncomfortable, sticking his tongue down her throat. Franken also didn't help himself out with that stupid, sophomoric picture either. He rightfully apologized for what he says is not taking Tweeden's feelings into account about the incident surrounding the picture, but he also said vehemently that he didn't remember the tongue/kissing incident the way Tweeden did. Whose interpretation is accurate? We may never know. Also, unless more pictures, perhaps film in the realm of him/Tweeden interacting surface, or unless other Franken accusers come forward indicating a pattern of him acting in a crude sexual manner with women, then this incident would "appear" to be an anomaly. Personally, I've always felt that Men and women should keep their hands to themselves. I've NEVER been the "touchy feely type," or the type to touch a strange man's man's hair, hug or kiss them, especially as an adult because acts of affection, no matter how innocent the person initiating them may think they are, may be misconstrued or unwelcome by the other person. Now here it is, a few days later, and coming to light are pictures/videos of Tweeden at the same 2006 USO show she was in with Franken where she appears to be grabbing/touching a guitarist's rear end, and there's also a USO video clip /pictures from a 2005 USO show showing her doing a "skit" with Robin Williams where she's physically interacting with/touching him. Tweeden must have felt comfortable with the physical contact between her & Williams & her the guitarist. Some people seeing those film clips/pictures could interpret her actions towards those 2 men as inappropriate. I guess she felt "comfortable" with the guitarist & Williams
Thank Goodness Franken's called for an Ethics Investigation into this situation because for me, this whole thing is starting to REALLY stink to high heaven with it's "coincidences" and because of WHOSE involved in it on the outer edges (Stone, Hannity, Faux Noose). I'm now feeling this is a concerted effort to take down Al Franken, or at the very least become a Godzilla-sized distraction away from Moore, tRump & ruSSia and that disastrous GOP tax cut bill for the rich that came out of the Congress.
We'll see what happens as we move on.
