Franken's accusers are a bunch of crazy Trump cultists. I trust Trump cultists about as far as I can throw them.



Leeann Tweeden was a frequent guest on Hannity's show. Hannity is a right-wing conspiracy nut.

Lindsay Menz tweeted her accusation to someone named Liz Wheeler.

This Liz Wheeler person is apparently is a serious right-wing wacko:

If only liberals cared about Planned Parenthood selling arms, legs, brains, livers, & skulls of aborted human babies as much as they care about Don, Jr. holding an elephant tail.

Just a reminder that Democrats still have not done anything to stop funding Planned Parenthood, where 323,000 unborn babies are killed every year.

She also retweeted a tweet that called Trump-Russia the "hoax of the century".

Insider's Tip: Trump-Russia collusion story is "hoax of the century". Thanks @Liz_Wheeler @aprillafever @OANN for discussing backstory with me. Far more like "Burn After Reading" than "All the President's Men." See clip:

This Liz Wheeler appears to be affiliated with a pro-Trump cable news channel called One America News.

from Wikipedia:

Trump presidency
According to a number of former and current employees at the channel, as well as internal e-mails, the executives of the channel have "directed his channel to push Trump’s candidacy, scuttle stories about police shootings, encourage antiabortion stories, minimize coverage of Russian aggression, and steer away from the new president’s troubles."[19] During the 2016 presidential campaign, the channel ran a special titled "Betrayal at Benghazi: The Cost of Hillary Clinton’s Dereliction and Greed."[19] Herring, the owner of the channel, sent producers at the channel a report falsely claiming that Hillary Clinton had a brain tumor, and asked them to check up on it.[19] He also shared a report with producers that claimed that Planned Parenthood had promoted abortion, and ordered them to minimize coverage of Pope Francis's US visit due to the Pope's calls for action on climate change.[19] Herring repeatedly ordered his producers not to cover stories pertaining to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[19]

In October 2017, the channel said without any evidence that a "report" had been published which showed "U.K. Crime Rises 13% Annually Amid Spread of Radical Islamic Terror".[20] President Trump later repeated this falsehood, suggesting that he learned of from the OAN.[21][22]

In August 2017, One America News Network currently reached 35 million homes and had nationwide distribution from DirecTV, Verizon FiOS TV, AT&T U-verse, Frontier Communications, CenturyLink PRISM TV, and numerous regional video distributors.[19]

Smearing of sexual misconduct accusers
In November 2017, in the wake of a Washington Post report on accusations that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore had molested or made inappropriate sexual contact with a number of women under the age of 18 (including a 14-year old), One America News promoted a false rumor by an anonymous Twitter account that the Washington Post had offered $1,000 to Roy Moore's accusers.[23][24] One America News described the tweet as a "report" and described the tweeter as a "former Secret Service agent and Navy veteran".[24] The Twitter account had a history of tweeting falsehoods and conspiracy theories; the Twitter account has also made repeated and inconsistent lies about its identity, including appropriating the identity of a Navy serviceman who died in 2007.[24]

After it was revealed that the story was a hoax, One America News did not retract its report.[23]

Stephanie Kemplin, also a Trumplicant:
Army veteran says Franken groped her during USO tour in 2003

Kemplin, who now works as a federal contractor investigating Medicare fraud, is a registered Republican and said she voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 election.

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. And fuck the Dems who are telling Franken to resign. The fucking Republicans are backing fucking Roy fucking Moore & fucking Donald fucking Trump, and the Democrats are going to let a bunch of Trump loons smear Franken out of existence. Shit ain't right.
