New evidence shows Franken was assaulting women at GOP booth!

Like many of you, I have been horrified by the evidence of Franken's brutal attack on a woman at the Minnesota State Fair, as documented in this frightening picture:



In my resaearch to determine where exactly this occurred, I found the following pictures of political booths at the fair:

This new evidence clearly shows that the photo was taken at the GOP booth! And it raises important questions! Why was Franken even at the GOP booth? And why didn't the Republicans there notice his vicious behavior and his distressed victims?

He was not there. He was photoshopped in Roland99 Nov 2017 #7
What has any of this to do with the building behind Franken? Let us know if you find it. L. Coyote Nov 2017 #8

You're right. She's got a lock of hair that isn't connected to anything. yardwork Nov 2017 #11
Looks photoshopped to me - her hair is in front of Al's face so her body should also be womanofthehills Nov 2017 #13

I don't see the window that is behind them, but is there any reason he could have went there for a reason? Or could other buildings have the same siding and maybe he was at one of those?

I always thought the whole thing was kind of fishy. Whatever is the case, it reeks.

Meanwhile, you are just detracting from the real issue.

My understanding is that the woman in question says the photo with Franken was taken when he stopped by to visit a State Fair booth operated by her family members.

That would make sense. The wall and window in the background appear to be of very new construction, probably with vinyl siding.

I know for certain that the background is not part of the DFL booth. I've visited there often, and did a volunteer stint there one morning last August.

Although I've never ventured into the GOP booth, I know it's been there a long time. It does have white lap siding, as seen in the woman's photo, but I think the siding is older. The white lap siding of the adjacent Ye Old Mill tunnel-of-love ride is older still, as the attraction is now past its 100th year of operation.

Do some critical thinking for a change

See the white space next to her left chin? How did she part her hair to do that? See how fuzzy and blurred her hair is on the left side by Franken's glasses? ?

That white triangle next to her chin has been photoshopped on top of her hair.

It was not taken at the GOP Booth. It was taken at the WCCO radio Booth which is right next to the GOP booth
