General Discussion

accused of rape or even remotely close. PERIOD. He was a convenient scapegoat for his over-the-line comedic behavior when Dems needed to make a dramatic contrast against Al Senate candidate (and true horrible sexual monster), Roy Moore.

Beyond that, Gillibrand is late to the mass call-outs, but she isn't wrong on this one.

I haven't forgiven her for her actions toward Franken (and no, I don't care that it started a stampede of Dems doing likewise) but I just cringe that Franken's name is EVER included in discussions about true creeps like this. I can say I have met Franken and his wife several times (I have though I certainly won't profess to be close intimate friends) and am firm in my beliefs though we've never discussed this, but those convinced Al was "horrible" wont' care. So, be it. But, he sure as hell is not remotely like a Graham Platner--(if the accusations are to be believed and I think they are).
