All seriousness aside you don't think almost every other politician would deny and then deflect and then make excuses and then claim it's a witch hunt?

Give Franken a little credit for accepting this like an adult.

And his first accuser thinks he should stay in office, which is weird.

Funny how he does deny "doesn't remember the same way" the action that is not on film.

Feel free to give Franken all the credit you wish, perhaps just be unbiased in your "credit giving".

Quote:Newly revealed pictures show Sen. Al Frankengrabbing self-described feminist Arianna Huffingtonon her bottom and breasts.

The never-before-published images, taken for a magazine in 2000 and obtained exclusively by The Post, include a number of frames showing the former “Saturday Night Live” star grabbing the media mogul’s buttocks as they pose back to back.

An even more shocking snap shows the pair posing on a bed, with Franken cupping Huffington’s breast with one hand.

“Franken was clowning around, but it really isn’t funny,” said a source from the shoot. “That’s his tactic, pretend like it’s all a big joke.

Arianna was pushing his hands away. He was groping her. There was some fun attached to it, but she wasn’t enjoying it. She definitely told him to stop and pushed him away.”

The creepy pol — who on Monday was accused of squeezing a constituent’s butt  during a photo op in 2010 and who was caught posing with his mitts over a sleeping ex-Playboy model’s breasts in a 2006 snap — was hardly hiding his hands-on approach, according to the source.

“Franken stood there with his hand on her bottom for a long time, because there are numerous frames, each taken seconds apart, and his hand was there the whole time — his hand wasn’t just there for a quick moment,” the source said.

The pictures were taken by Harry Benson, an award-winning Scottish photographer, who declined to comment.

Huffington, however, denies anything was amiss — saying the touchy-feely photos were a nod to a TV sketch they did together in 1996.
“The notion that there was anything inappropriate in this photo shoot is truly absurd,” she said in a statement to The Post.

Quote:Arianna Huffington is defending Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) against a New York Post storyclaiming that a photo from 2000 shows the comedian turned politician groping her breast and buttocks.

Huffington denied Tuesday that Franken, who has been accused of sexual harassment by two women, was inappropriate with her during the 2000 magazine photo shoot, tweeting another photo from the session of her pretending to choke Franken.

The Post’s Page Six section published photos from the session on Monday, along with a story from an unnamed source who said Franken was touching Huffington inappropriately that day.

The photos published exclusively by the Post show Huffington and Franken hugging on a bed, with Franken’s hand near Huffington’s shoulder and breast. Another photo shows the two back-to-back, with Franken’s hand reaching toward Huffington’s buttocks.  

Huffington told the Post that the purposefully suggestive poses were a nod to a comedy sketch, titled “Strange Bedfellows,” that the two had performed together for comedian Bill Maher’s show “Politically Incorrect” in 1996.

“Just got more photos from the same ‘scandalous’ photo shoot. Here instead of Al Franken ‘groping’ me, I’m ‘strangling’ him,” Huffington, the founder and former editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, said in a tweet.

“I hope the statute of limitations has expired,” she added mockingly, along with the hashtag #lockmeup.

Had Hillary or Bernie won, or even if the Republican was someone other than Trump, seriously doubt we would be discussing this.
