Cuomo Ignores Big Difference between Photos of Franken, and Porter Wife
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Hey Chris: it’s the difference between a photo of someone robbing a safe, and a photo of an empty safe . . .

The allegations against former Trump aide Rob Porter are serious. There is reason to believe that he physically abused his former wives.

That said, Chris Cuomo has ignored a big difference in the photos involved in the two cases. On CNN this morning, Chris Cuomo said that Pres. Trump is “playing favorites,” given his strong reaction to the photo of Al Franken groping a woman and his muted reaction to the photo of a former wife of Trump aide Rob Porter with a black eye.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The left are against Porter because he didn’t tell his wife to “put some ice” on her black eye.

Actually, the photo shows nothing more than a woman with a black eye...it is not dated, it is not labeled as being any particular human. I understand he did not go to the police.

She did not get a self protection order...there was so much she could have done.

It is a step closer to determining the truth of that allegation, but it is NOT proof.

Ill play devils advocate.......so my wife falls gets a black eye and because we are presently going thru a separation or divorce that may not yield what her and her lawyer are expecting this could be used as a slam dunk
Just saying, in an atmosphere of hate all evil white men who get paid more and abuse women a picture of a women with a black eye is just that?

As I understood it, he said that he was the one who took the photo of his wife and that the story behind it is quite different than what she is saying.

I have never had a black eye. You don’t get one from a “fall” or “walking into a door”.

Guess it’s too early in the morning for clarity. I was referring to the left’s favorite boy, Bill Clinton. He bit a woman’s lip halfway off while he was raping her. Then he told her to put some ice on it.

Mrs NHD got one when she stood up when she thought she was clear of the underside of the deck.

I gave my wife a black eye once. We were putting a beadboard ceiling up in our new house, I reached down to pick up a 4 lb hammer to tap the board in, as I was coming up she bent down and wham, hammer to the eye. Hard to explain that one at work.

Yeah, you do. While vacationing in Italy, I tripped over uneven pavement and went down hard, hitting the right side of my face near my eye. My ‘black eye’ started on the right side of my face and went across both eyes. I wore sunglasses for the whole rest of the trip, including while touring inside The Vatican. It lasted a full two weeks, lightening up a little more each day. Very painful, but my husband DID NOT hit me.

My wife - who is something of a klutz - tripped over her own feet one morning and fell forward, striking her head against the kitchen doorframe. It raised a big lump on her head above her left eye, but it was hidden above her hairline. By noon she noticed puffiness below her left eye and by the time I returned from the office that evening, she had an unmistakable shiner.

If she hadn't long been equally clumsy at the office, her co-workers would've given me serious grief. Yes, you *can* get a black eye in unexpected ways.

My 7th grade English teacher, Granny Davis, got one when she was walking down the school hallway and Ray Adams was running out of a classroom and threw the door open, smacking granny Davis in the face.....

Some people just don’t bruise very visibly. I’ve fallen off the roof of a house and not gotten bruised. Sore as heck and I’m sure there was some tissue damage but no visible bruising. Only time I’ve ever had one was when I broke a finger.

Is Rob Porter left handed?

14 year old took an elbow on the basketball floor a few weeks ago. Looked like Marilyn Manson for a couple weeks.

Is Porter left-handed? Her right eye is blackened. If he slugged here, and he's right-handed, wouldn't here left eye be damaged?
