Franken denies allegations he tried to forcibly kiss woman

Yes. He was definitely my favorite for 2020. This whole thing has been scrambling my brain--I have always believed victims, no matter who they're accusing and no matter how much I liked the person--but this stinks to high heaven. I think the vast, vast, vast majority of women are not lying about being harassed. I've been randomly groped before. Most women have stories like that and know that men in general are a field of landmines, but I also don't put it past republicans to fabricate this shit.

Project Veritas just paid a woman to lie about being raped. Republicans ONLY believe accusers who aren't accusing their own. They only care about women being assaulted and harassed in as much as they can be used as political footballs.

So yeah, in my heart of hearts, I do believe Al Franken and I think it's totally logical considering the evidence. I was happy to see Anthony Wiener fry and Conyers resign--but Franken's accusers don't pass the smell test. When they start to I'll turn on him too, but right now I just don't
