One, we’re not even sure this is Leann Tweeden in this phot. And two, why does it matter?
But full-on TDS sufferer Bette Midler certainly thinks it’s relevant as she attempts to defend Al Franken here:
#LeeAnnTweeden, #AlFrankens accuser, in all her right wing glory. Al was forced to resign, without anything resembling due process, amid HER allegations that something “untoward” happened between them. Read about it in @thenewyorker.https://t.co/FFH2VwfseG

This is called “slut-shaming, ” Bette:
Slut shaming 101. https://t.co/DifOcPXVds

She asked for it, right?
Would you say she was asking for it, @BetteMidler? https://t.co/dOj22b7rAD

And here’s Norm Macdonald for the win:
Bette, if you haven't heard, #metoo has nothing to do with due process. But you putting a picture of this women in lingerie, implying she had it coming, is truly disgusting and what rape apologists have been saying forever. Shame. https://t.co/DP0CDq5fFW

Oh, and Midler conveniently leaves out the 8 other women, but whatever. She’s just awful:
What's so gross about the @NewYorker Franken story is how much it relied on character testimony from Franken's rich and powerful friends while downplaying the fact that 8 (!) women had accused him of misconduct. https://t.co/6Ipd9lV0DZ
