Propaganda Debunking
Related: About this forumHere's something I haven't seen in the news for the last two days:
A half a dozen women coming out with any accusations against Sen Al Franken.

(22,617 posts)The more I know about the Al Franken accusation and accuser the the worse they look to me. He is overreacting about what was a prank and sillyness - but I think in this national climate he has to do just that. And she is aggrandizing her obscure self to ride the trend. I'll go now and read "Giant of the Senate" again.

(12,277 posts)CNN is claiming the couple supports both RepubliCONS and Dems. But really you voted for Trump??????
"The couple voted last year for Donald Trump." From the CNN story.
I don't know about this. It would be so easy to pay off a couple of people. I'm just not sure about this.
I guess he just gropes RepubliCONS? You would think, since he is a Dem and has worked on numerous liberal radio shows, that some real liberals would have come out and complained. It just seems fishy. I'm waiting to see what eventually falls out.
All I can say is maybe.............

(51,452 posts)This would appear to not only try and undermine a prominent Democrat, but it undermines real victims of sexual assault and could prevent them from coming forward. It trivializes sexual assault and demeans real victims. Meanwhile, it could be a distraction from Roy Moore's problems.
