White House: The Difference Between Trump And Franken Is Franken 'Admitted Wrongdoing'

WH: 'Big Distinction' in Trump, Franken Cases
White House spokesman Sarah Sanders insists there's "a very big distinction" between the sexual assault allegations against President Trump and Democratic Sen. Al Franken, saying, "Franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president hasn't." (Nov. 17)

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that the allegations of sexual assault against Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) are different from those President Donald Trump has faced because Trump has denied any wrongdoing.

A reporter asked Sanders during the daily press briefing if it would be fair to investigate the claims of sexual assault that more than a dozen women made about Trump during the 2016 campaign. Senators are currently calling for an ethics investigation into whether Franken should keep his seat ― a probe that Franken himself says he supports.


“I think that this was covered pretty extensively during the campaign,” Sanders said. “We addressed that then. The American people, I think, spoke very loud and clear when they elected this president.”

“How is this different?” the reporter asked.

“I think in one case specifically, Sen. Franken has admitted wrongdoing, and the president hasn’t,” Sanders replied. “I think that’s a very clear distinction.”


Franken, who on Thursday was accused of kissing and groping anchor Leeann Tweeden in 2006 without her consent, has issued an apology.

“I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann,” he said. “As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t. I shouldn’t have done it.”

Trump tweeted later Thursday about the allegations, referring to a photo that appears to show Franken touching Tweeden’s breasts while she was asleep.


Trump has denied all of the allegations against him. And last month, Sanders said the official position of the White House is that all 16 women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct are lying.

“We’ve been clear on that from the beginning and the president has spoken on it,” she said at the time.

Trump has also brushed off his own boasts of grabbing women “by the pussy” ― a comment famously captured on a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape ― as “locker room talk.”

During Friday’s briefing, Sanders continued to dodge questions about Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Multiple women have accused Moore of sexually harassing or assaulting them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. Sanders called the allegations against the Republican nominee “troubling,” but declined to say whether Trump believes them.

“He feels like it’s up to the governor and the people in the state of Alabama to make a determination on whether or not they delay that election or whether or not they support and vote for Roy Moore,” she said.

Moore has also denied all the allegations against him, and his legal team has sought to discredit some of the women who have come forward.

How many of the same post subjects you gonna make-----

you are on full meltdown.....bet they just love you around your tuck stops.....

 

Maybe when a Trump supporter can reasonably justify the hypocrisy. It hasn't happened yet.

 

get the wax out of your ears...

if you are not guilty you dont apologize....

 

And of course you are not guilty even after admitting your behavior on an Access Hollywood bus.

On video.

 

The man is on tape bragging about entering 14 year olds dressing rooms while changing and saying "grab em by the pussy. When you're famous they let you do it".

You have to be a real piece of trash to defend that.

 

There is no proof that the underage was not appropriately dressed at the time.

And furthermore...so fucking what, are you not on a porn site at this very fucking minute?

Dont be a damn hypocrite when you're doing essentially that same damn thing, whether it's publicly expressed or not.

 

wow

 

Aside from the fact that he said it.


"Before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it,”

No proof aside from his own words. No proof. Fake news.


I'm not a hypocrite. I'm pretty consistent about kiddie fuckers. Do you remember LollyLover?


You gotta be pretty obtuse to defend that quote as something righteous

 

Yes, the dressing rooms are where they get dressed, but there is still not an ounce of credibility of Trump ''walking in on an underage that was not appropriately dressed.

Yes you are a hypocrite, you're on a porn site right now, belittling Trump for ''grab 'em by the pussy''.

Yes, I remember that character, however I wasn't claiming that you're a hypocrite for being a kiddie fucker or endorsing it...kids are off limits.

 

Ok, kiddie diddler. You just walk right in on 14 year old girls changing. Totally ok.

I don't know how you can defend this and not be a pedo. What do you think "appropriately dressed" means, exactly? What do you think "getting dressed" means, exactly?

What is the appropriate moment to walk in on a 14 year old girl getting dressed?

 

.
If you, I, or any other male member of this site was to have sole sponsorship of a local pageant, and we made it a habit to walk into the change rooms while young ladies where changing, we'd be facing multiple criminal charges.

Trumps pageant however, is at the top of the industries endeavors, and as such, he held an incredible amount of power over the contestants, their potential success at the pageant, as well as their futures. Do you actually think any of them, or their mothers, or even staff would file a complaint at the time, with so much of their futures being at stake? The sense of intimidation must have been overwhelming.

There's nothing hypocritical about being active on an adult porn site containing legal content of adults, where any underage content is grounds for immediate removal of your participation, your content, as well as possible legal issues, compared to someone making it a habit, of entering female change rooms with young women, as well as possible minors having an expectation of privacy violated. For many of those young ladies, I'd imagine they experienced trauma at varying degrees of severity,because of such blatant violations of trust, at the expense of their own personal sense of security.

 

The pageant is very well know----even today one can find a list of all the contestants...for each year----
As many groups that are against Trump they could go find any or all of those contestants....

Fusion GPS was paid up 12 million to find shit on trump-----250,000 could dig out the contestants for a statement....
Why has no opposition group worked that angle...?

 

Mark my words, that angle is being evaluated.

 

Way too many sex scandals today.

Some may be legite claims...but not all of them.

 

Also, the White House will not condemn Moore even though there are multiple accusations, proof that he was banned from a mall due to inappropriate conduct towards minors and offers to take polygraph tests by the accusers. This sends a message of "do not admit any wrong-doing" and then deflect to anyone who is not of your own political party.

 

That alone seems to be a key word....''accuasations''.

 

There is a vast difference between these contestants and pornstars. Walking in on contestants is different because they did not sign up for a NUDE contest, while a pornstar is specifically being paid to get naked.

Why am I not surprised that you would make this argument?

 

Oh, yeah. But, no.

During a Howard Stern interview, he did brag about walking into the Miss America dressing room.



Then, one of the oh-so-honest media sites took the words his interview, and weaved them into a video, along with Tasha Dixon (who competed in the Miss America pageant as Miss Arizona). Then they cut from Trump's words, to hear two different narrators say:





Then they follow that with Trump's voice:




And, of course, the "Grab them by the pussy" was from an interview where Miss America wasn't even mentioned. But hey, it was a nice try, huh?

 

it's hard to deny an allegation when there's photographic evidence.

And speaking of apologies, he already admitted IN HIS OWN BOOK that the apology he issued in another incident was just to get elected.

Pretty much, the ol' "I'm sorry...that I got caught."
