As Twitchy told you, a bunch of Democratic politicians have gone out of their way to avoid having to outright condemn Al Franken after Leeann Tweeden accused him of sexually harassing and groping her, even in the face of Tweeden’s photographic evidence.
But since MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt isn’t a politician, she can be a lot more forthright with her take on Franken. Like Sasha Stone, she can come right out and dismiss Tweeden’s story:
MSNBC's Kasie Hunt claims Franken was "mock-groping," not "groping" — not how Leeann Tweeden described it. pic.twitter.com/Si9evlh6QR

“Mock-groping”? Kasie, is that really how you want to frame this?
I’ve decided it’s time to tell my story. #MeToohttps://t.co/TqTgfvzkZg

There’s no excuse for what Franken did. None. And Hunt should know better.
K Hunt says it is "mock groping" bc she is a warrior for feminism and stuff. https://t.co/9bRDUc0OR2

Why can’t Kasie Hunt just call it what it is?
First of all, he's clearly touching her. Second, even as a "mock-grope", it's still not okay to touch a sleeping person in a mock-sexual manner. https://t.co/lzCA2y1Pay

Exactly. And shame on Kasie for downplaying Franken’s offense.
What about the forced kiss?

Did he mock ramming his tongue in her mouth?

Can we call this "gropesplaining"
I really want to call it gropesplaining

Because “mock groping” her breasts with a creepy schoolboy grin doesn’t degrade the young woman at all, amirite Kasie? #AlFrankenFondles

'Mock groping'?
Is that like 'not rape rape'?— LoriGirl☘μολώνλαβέ (@conservtivemom) November 16, 2017
It wasn't grope, grope…?

Thank goodness he didn't mock rape her.

I can't wait for Weinsteins' "mock rape" defense. ?

Well, if he mock did this to me, or my sister, or my mother, or my daughter, I would mock kick his ass.
