Just got more photos from the same “scandalous” photo shoot. Here instead of  Al Franken  “groping” me  I'm “strangling”  him . I hope the statute of limitations has expired! #lockmeuppic.twitter.com/6mjlYbhdvW — Arianna Huffington (@ariannahuff) November 21  2017
"The NYPost story about  Al Franken  groping me in a comedy sketch photo trivializes sexual harassment because  he  was no more 'groping' me than I was 'strangling'  him  in the photo I just tweeted " she said in a follow-up post.

The Post article cited an unnamed source who said  Franken  was "groping" Huffington in the photos. The source also told the Post that she asked  Franken  to stop and pushed  his  hand away.
Huffington told the paper that the photos were for "comedic effect" and that they referenced a sketch called Strange Bedfellows Huffington used to perform with  Franken   a former comedian  on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect.
"I think I’m a better judge of how I felt in that satirical photo shoot with Al Franken than the recollections of an anonymous bystander " Huffington said in a tweet earlier Tuesday. "I thought the point of this moment was to believe women’s accounts of their own experiences."
