    Her defense of Al Franken has certainly aged well.

    I wonder how she, and the SNL writers, feel about their testimonials now that additional women have come forward accusing Al of groping them.

    Melania hasnt commented on whether she knew of any of trimp’s Sexual assault victims or whether she believes them all. Was she assaulted by him when she met him while he was married to his American wife? Were his American mistresses assaulted or paid while he was married to his first immigrant wife? Where are Malania’s immigration papers. Was she a whore / escort as her occupation after the soft core porn career fizzed out; and was she a liar on her INS paperwork.

    Is Sarah huckleberry upset that no one has ever thought of her in a sexual manner? She truly is Steve Bannon with fake pearls. As if anyone would give her a real pearl necklace.

    Is she on Match or Tinder?

    What’s wrong with her statement? There’s no judgment of any other claim, only the one with her as the purported victim.

    Yes. Exactly.

    While making it clear that she was not a victim, she said nothing in support of the women who were victimized by Franken.

    She presented him as a guy who's loads of laughs to do a photo shoot with.

    She was covering for him, and didn't lend an once of support to victims -- all while Leeann is being slut shamed across the internet.

    That’s crap.

    There’s plenty of ammo on Franken. The Huffington pics aren’t that ammo.

    I'm having as much fun with this story as anyone. I'm happy to see guys like this idiot exposed -- though I didn't need so much exposure -- as immoral slobs.

    But...

    She was sharing his photos with other women. He suggested he would call the police if she continued to do so. That's an appropriate reaction.

    He was threatening to sick the cops on her for "exposing his sex life".

    She was engaged in "revenge porn". He had every right to be upset and to call the cops if necessary to prevent her from continuing her behavior.

    He may be a creep, but in this case, he's the victim.

    And, as @Dick Whitman already pointed out, this would be a very different story if we were dealing with a female member of congress and a male who was releasing her pictures.
