Bill Clinton Defends Franken: It Was a 'Difficult Case' and the SNL Women Defended Him
Townhall.com ^ | 6/8/2018 | Lauretta Brown

PBS’s Judy Woodruff asked former president Bill Clinton Thursday whether he thought it was a “good thing” that norms have changed when it comes to sexual harassment. Woodruff’s example was former Minnesota senator Al Franken being forced to resign his post after accusations that, Woodruff said, were less serious than what happened in the Lewinsky scandal.

"Well, in general, I think it's a good thing, yes," Clinton said about norms changing.

He then proceeded to defend Franken and question the legitimacy of some of the accusations against him.

"I will be honest,” he said, “the Franken case, for me, was a difficult case, a hard case."

He cited the support Franken received from women at ‘Saturday Night Live’ and called the first accusations, from radio anchor Leann Tweeden, “fantastic.”

"There may be things I don’t know. But maybe I’m just an old-fashioned person, but it seemed to me that there were 29 women on ‘Saturday Night Live' that put out a statement for him, and that the first and most fantastic story was called, I believe, into question," he said.

Bill is out running his mouth so Hillary will stay home. This is his plan to help the Dems. He thinks he can do better than her and he needs the attention.

Bill is the perfect spokesman for the sexual offenders. He knows what he is talking about.

Wasn’t Leanne Tweeden, the first one, the one where there’s a picture of Franken squeezing her breasts?

I'm the last person to defend Franken, but in all fairness, the photo didn't show him actually touching her breasts. He was "air" touching her breasts - mocking as if he was touching her.
