37. Context, context, context.
If Franken wasn't a comedian doing a comedy gig on a tour I would consider this a very serious matter.
Grabbing or threatening to grab a sleeping woman's breasts while mugging for a camera isn't a "very serious matter"? "It's a joke," and, "He's a comedian," excuses prove the ones saying don't really take sexual assaults seriously.
Speaking on context, since DU-folk and other Progs try to deflect attention to Trump:
1.) Trump did
not say he had grabbed any woman's @#$%^; things he said in that conversation were not wonderful, but what he said in that respect has been misrepresented;
2.) Hillary Clinton defended and enabled a known sexual predator and attacked his victims; now, 20+ years after the facts, when Clinton power has waned, Libs and Progs are starting to acknowledge something of the predatory monster Bill was (is?); whether Libs and Progs will go that small next step farther and acknowledge Hillary's enabling role in Bill's sexual predations is something for which DU's Hillarybots should prepare; for all Trump's real moral failings, they are minor in comparison to Hillary's enablings and defenses of a sexual predator;
2.) Trump's moral wanderings seem to have ceased with his courtship of and marriage to Melania;
if Bill's predations have ceased it's because he is no longer capable, not because of anything Hillary has tried to do for/to/with him.
