![Liberals Limbo Themselves In Half To Defend Franken [VIDEO]](https://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/franken-1.jpg)
This has been a most interesting and illuminating week in American politics. We’ve gone full circle from “victims should always be believed” in the case of Roy Moore, to “Al Franken was joking and she was asking for it” on the left. In just ONE week.
No, really. When someone like Alyssa Milano offers this opinion:
Zero tolerance. If we don’t hold all accountable for horrible behavior — nothing changes. Sorry, @SenAlFranken you should not be in a position to represent the female constituents in your state. https://t.co/MrJi7QKCu1
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) November 16, 2017
And her “supporters” immediately start in on her:
Alyssa I disagree. The current evidence is based on a single incident of bad judgment. An isolated and minor social error should not be catastrophic to a man's career (eg: this seems to have been non-contact). The problem is when a man has a pervasive pattern of abusing women.

Zero tolerance is too extreme & makes it too easy to deliberately sabotage someone's career with a single fake claim. A lapse in judgment about what is 'funny' is not the same as feeling entitled to a woman's body or efforts, or actively predating women.

What worries me is we’ll lose a good senator because he’ll actually take accountability when none of the GOP pigs are budging. HOLD YOYR GROUND, AL!

Not you too! It's not assault Alyssa! I don't condone or like what I see. And I am angry with Al Franken. But, that picture is not assault. It's disrespectful – but, NOT assault. And not deserving to lose someone's career over.

If you swapped out “Al Franken” for “Roy Moore” with these defenses from the left, I wonder how it would sound?
And the excuses now contain absolute pretzels of illogical craziness.
Sorry but if what @alfranken is doing in that photo is sexual harassment we're going to need a bigger boat. Come on, people. Snap out of it.

I mean, wow.
Leeann Tweeden as she appeared on TV to accuse @alfranken and her nude centerfold from Playboy. Quite the transformation. I don't care what party a person belongs to. Perverts need to be held accountable but false accusations aren't cool, either. pic.twitter.com/WfZXcOl1bP

Why don't you be better? I have a hard time with women who act sexy and then get offended when they're treated in that vein. I've worked too hard. Everything she's done is fair game. And once again these pictures are from her pages. You're the one with the problem.
— Vivian Copeland (@Belairviv) November 17, 2017
Excuse me but discrediting her is valid if she LIED. Which I believe she did. These pictures are from her social media pages. How am I slut shaming her?
— Vivian Copeland (@Belairviv) November 17, 2017
I think it's very applicable. I highly doubt she was treated like a woman of substance by Playboy. When you put yourself out there as a sex object that's how you're treated and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

If you’re looking for the bottom of the barrel….

Democracy 2017: I am sincerely arguing that we should not force a Democrat to resign for sexually abusing a woman, because I know Republicans never will, and that once the first Democrat goes, R's next move is finding shady Ds from states with R governors.

THEY ALL HAVE SKELETONS
MANY OF THOSE SKELETONS WILL INVOLVE ABUSING & HARASSING WOMEN
BECAUSE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM NOT AN INDIVIDUAL ONE— Kate Harding (@KateHarding) November 16, 2017
Do we force ours to resign to make room for more men who hate women deeply and openly? For more men who believe God has authorized them to control women?
This seems like a bad idea, idk.
— Kate Harding (@KateHarding) November 16, 2017
It's almost as though, in a two-party system, cold pragmatism is literally always the only option. Purity is an impossibility and a joke.
— Kate Harding (@KateHarding) November 16, 2017
And the Washington Post even let her write an op-ed, how thoughtful.
If you’ve been sexually harassed by a Democrat in congress, this is what you can expect from the Wash Post while Democracy dies in darkness pic.twitter.com/0WPiDYUX3g

But remember, these are the same people who freaked out over Mike Pence.
Also, once it’s tweeted, it’s out there forever. The internet never forgets.

First of all, he's clearly touching her. Second, even as a "mock-grope", it's still not okay to touch a sleeping person in a mock-sexual manner. https://t.co/lzCA2y1Pay

Does your head hurt yet? Mine does.
Jake Tapper nailed it:
Liberal twitter today = 50% reexamining/regretting how they treated Bill Clinton‘s accusers; 50% attacking Al Franken’s accuser. pic.twitter.com/4qCiHg8ghK

As Marta so brilliantly put it yesterday, Franken should resign. These are the rules that I thought the left wanted us all to sign on to. It seems that – surprise! – we are back to the Bill Clinton defense of “he can do what he wants so long as he votes for what I want,” except that Bill Clinton is now under the bus and the feminist left wants to spend their time, energy, and political capital in defending Stuart Smalley.
Good luck with that.
GWB says: (eg: this seems to have been non-contact)
I noted this yesterday. But this defense leaves out the other accusation that most decidedly involves touch – he touched her danged tonsils!
makes it too easy to deliberately sabotage someone’s career with a single fake claim
Do you have the ability to check this person’s Twit-feed for what they have said about Moore?
none of the GOP pigs are budging
Ummmmm, which would be who, exactly? (And the GOP always throw their people under the bus, regardless of the veracity of the accusations!)
I do tend to agree with those saying the picture isn’t really assault or really harassment. It’s stupid and childish. But he’s not touching her as near as I can tell (and there’s no way he could have through the flak vest). The forced tonsil hockey, otoh, is flat out sexual assault. (And there’s no one to vouch for that accusation.)
false accusations aren’t cool, either
Because she posed nekid once, she can’t be believed? Now THAT is blaming the victim!
How am I slut shaming her?
Well, since you’re making her veracity dependent on her being a “slut” or not, and that’s pretty much the definition of blaming the victim……… *eyeroll*
I’m a feminist.
Well, that’s really all that needs to be said. The rest of the headline is an obvious conclusion.
The Al Franken picture looks staged.
Well, duh, Seamus. He staged it. *EYEROLL*
Look, Franken is no Weinstein. I have more important things to waste my energy on, in respect to our legislature. (But I’m not going to complain about others spending their time on it.)
Franken is (and always has been) a side show.
Johnny says: Look Democrats, if you’re going to talk the talk you’ve gotta walk the walk, or you are simply hypocrites. Grow up, grab a couple of brain cells, and look up “consistency” in the dictionary.
Whatever standard of behavior you want to apply, it must apply equally to the left and right. As a right-winger that doesn’t bother me a bit, because I know that the average right-winger is wiser, more charitable and simply more moral than the average leftist.
So bring it on.
Scott says: Democrats have never, not once, had any consistency, outside of always attacking and obstructing conservatives… if you’re waiting for the left to hold their own to the same standard they hold conservatives too, i’d suggest that you wait foe hell to freeze over, it’ll be a shorter wait…
Leland says: I guess under Democrat’s version of Sharia law, once you pose naked for Playboy; it’s ok for people to grope you. I wonder how that will work out for Madonna?
And heck, why stop at Playboy? What about all the actresses that have showed us their boobs?
Here’s the thing, Franken made several passes at Tweeden that she rejected. Angered by her rejection, Franken waits until she passes out to stage a photo to humiliate her. That seems to be the very definition of Sexual Harassment, whether he touched her or not.
GTB says: When is McConnell going to ask Franken to step down?
