Clinton Equivocates: Franken is a Better Person Than Trump or Moore

Despite her decades-long struggle with an unfaithful husband, and unfaithful party and an unfaithful electorate, Hillary Clinton has persevered.  Rising above all the petty politics and questions like, “Why were you trashing the “bimbos” that accused your husband?” and “How come you never wanted to hear the accusations by those many, many…many women who claimed your husband assaulted or raped them?” the former presidential candidate for the Democrat Party has now decided to take sides in the sex assault allegations by Minnesota Senator Al Franken.

In 2006, during a USO tour for the troops, Franken assaulted model/broadcaster Leann Tweedy while she was sleeping on a plane ride.  How do we know?  Franken made sure to have a photograph taken of himself as he was fondling her breasts while she slept.  It was enough that he did this, but then turned to the camera to give a big, broad grin to the photographer.  Earlier in the trip, Franken had written a script for their stage work that included he and her kissing passionately.  While going over the script with her in private, Tweedy claims that he insisted that they needed to rehearse the kiss.  She said “no,” several times, but to no avail.  At one point, he grabbed her, mashed his lips up against her mouth and forced his tongue in her mouth.  She says she was humiliated.

This is the man that Hillary has decided is a better person than both Donald Trump and Roy Moore, both of whom have yet to be convicted of anything even remotely as oppressive as what “Chuckles” Franken has done.

Does the former Secretary of State have some sort of inside information about Trump and Moore that we don’t?  And if so, why has she not visited with an attorney general to record the complaint?

Oh, I remember.  If you’re a Democrat and you commit acts of sexual misconduct, it’s forgivable, if you apologize, bite your lower lip, smirk, and give a sideways glance that says, “I’ve been a naughty boy.”  If you’re a Republican, however, the severity of the allegations is as important as the proven crime itself.  In fact, the severity of the allegations is even more heinous than the crime itself.

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who defended her own husband from multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment for decades, entered the political sexual misconduct crossfire Friday, taking aim at the president who defeated her.

“Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore and Donald Trump who have done neither,” Hillary told WABC radio’s Rita Cosby, according to Politico.

Then-model, now newscaster Leeann Tweedy accused Sen. Franken (D-MN) of forcefully pushing his tongue into her mouth on a 2006 USO tour in Afghanistan after contriving a scene in which the two would kiss. The accusation included a photograph from the tour appearing to show him touch her breasts while she slept.

Despite the photographic evidence and an admission of some wrongdoing on Franken’s part, Hilary was willing to forgive and forget. The fact that Franken owned up and apologized to something largely proven put the matter to rest in her mind, despite the fact that Franken continues to deny elements of Tweedy’s story. Other Democrats were not so forgiving, returning donations from Franken’s PAC and entertaining the possibility of ethics violations.

As for her own history of defending a man – her husband, President Bill Clinton – against as many as eighteen separate accusations of sexual misdeeds, Clinton was not nearly so contrite as she fancies Franken to have been. Having famously called the sexual accusations, including those now-proven suggestions of Bill’s serial infidelity, “a vast right-wing conspiracy,” Hillary dismissed the recent turn against her husband.

When asked about the fact that the woman who replaced her in the U.S. Senate, Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY), stated, 19 years after the fact, that Bill Clinton should, in fact, have resigned after he was caught having a 22-year-old intern perform sex acts on him in the oval office and then lying repeatedly about it, Hillary was confused. “I don’t exactly know what she was trying to say,” she told Cosby.

I want to be clear about this, though, that the Gillibrand statement means absolutely nothing.  It’s being used by some Rightwing news sites as a net positive, but in my book, this would only be a positive if it wasn’t being said 20 years after the fact.  Where were all these supporters for the Clinton accusers back when James Carville was saying all the Republicans had to do to find these accusers was to “drag a hundred dollar bill through the trailer park!”

Gillibrand, as is well-known in Democratic circles, is eyeing the 2020 presidential contest and her statement is a first step in the stairway to the Oval Office.  She knows that this sexual harassment issue is not going away anytime soon and she wants to ensure that she’s on the right side of the issue going forward.  That way, when the question arises two or three years from now, she can say quite boldly, “Well, I’m on record as the first Democrat to say that Bill Clinton should have resigned!”

What a freakin’ soap opera this DNC has going on!  And a failed presidential candidate who just refuses to shut up.  No one cares what you have to say anymore.  You lost your credibility a long time ago when you ran the “Bimbo Eruptions” unit in your husband’s campaigns.  Just…go away.
