Sen Al Franken sexually assaulted a girl

in #politics7 years ago

So hold on let me try to understand this, a bunch of paid actresses pretend (VERY BADLY) that Judge Roy Moore sexually assaulted them 40+ years ago with zero proof and everyone wants his head, meanwhile Senator Al Franken (D) ADMITS he sexually assaulted a girl and not a single person is calling for his head. Am I understanding this correctly?

In a word. No.

Roy Moore was accused of multiple counts including sexual abuse of multiple teenagers. It is amazing to me that you can suggest these women are "pretending" "very Badly" when you have zero proof of that. You might not know, as you are likely a teen, but back 40 years ago, camera evidence was not as common because cell phones did not exist. Al Franken did a real bad thing too. However, he actually apologized and admitted to it being a bad joke and an inappropriate thing to do. Your claim that they are "paid actresses" has no basis and is the very epitome of the Trump Troll... If you are not complicit in sexual assault yourself, then likely one of your friends were. That is basic (facts) statistics. One in 5 women will be raped in her lifetime...who do you think is doing the raping? Also, women don't tend to love to tell personal stories of humiliation, so when they do, it is to get justice. Has a woman ever faked an assault to get back at a man? Sure. It is just much more rare than it being true. There are millions of unprocessed rape kits in the US, and millions of women who have to live with consequences of actions powerful (and weak) men have long since forgotten or passed off as "just the times we were in". This shit is frustrating to read.
