CNN, NBC Pundits Defend Al Franken Over Groping Scandal
Mainstream media pundits on both CNN and NBC defended Senator Al Franken after a photo emerged of him groping a woman, with CNN’s Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger pardoning the behavior because Franken “was just a comedian”.

Of course they do, they think alike and act alike remember why do you think we have so many a.h running around thinking Alternative news is full of shit , but CIA dictated information from CNN is God Almighty's truth.
Well, when that happened, he WAS a comedian. Doesn't make the behavior appropriate tho if she wasn't in on it.
It is infuriating. I don't care that he was a comedian. What difference does that make.
Doesnt really make a difference other than it was a fact that he was a comedian and not a powerful DA or politician. To me this is correctly being contrasted (not excused) with Moore and his stalking of teeny boppers.
The two cases are not related. We are not grading the severity of crimes in order to lessen one's culpability. When someone is stabbed, we don't tell them its no biggie because that other guy got killed.
She was wearing a vest so he didn't touch boob says to me it is OK to do this to our female soldiers and LEO's. No big deal, it isn't "real sexual assault."
It wasn't sexual says to me that person is a liar or thinks it is OK. No one thinks it would be just as funny to snap a pic while touching her elbow or foot. He thought it was funny BECAUSE it was sexual and unwanted.
He was a comedian making a joke says to me it is somehow funny to degrade women and touch them even after they have clearly said "NO." It is as funny as a rape joke.
Comparing two different crimes, apples and oranges, is a way to minimize one as not really that bad. Are we OK with unwanted boob squeezing if someone else got raped that day? WTF?!
