Franken Accuser: His Statement ‘Wasn’t an Apology’ – ‘It Was Very Defiant’

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Tina Dupuy, one of Senator Al Franken’s (D-MN) accusers, characterized his statement on the Senate floor as not an apology and “very defiant.”

Dupuy said, “I thought that he said to listen to women, and then he talked about himself. It wasn’t an apology. It was very defiant. He wanted to talk about the pain that he was going through, which is obvious. But not the pain that he’s inflicted. So — and I think — I thought that was inappropriate to do that from the Senate floor, quite candidly.”

She also stated that it wasn’t “irony” that Franken resigned while President Trump and Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore stayed, it’s “one party being better on women than the other party.”
