Woman Accuses Senator Al Franken Of Molesting Her During USO Tour
Daily Caller ^ | 11/16/2017 | Thomas Phippen

Posted on 11/16/2017 9:12:55 AM PST by Beave Meister

News anchor Leeann Tweeden accused Minnesota Sen. Al Franken Thursday of sexually harassing her multiple times during a USO entertainment tour in the Middle East in 2006.

Tweeden alleges that Franken, a writer for “Saturday Night Live” before he became a senator, wrote a script that featured him kissing her, and harassed her during rehearsals, Tweeden writes for KABC.

When Tweeden returned from the tour, she noticed a photo from the tour where Franken has his hands on her breasts and is smiling into the camera.

“You knew exactly what you were doing. You forcibly kissed me without my consent, grabbed my breasts while I was sleeping and had someone take a photo of you doing it, knowing I would see it later, and be ashamed,” Tweeden wrote.

“I’m still angry at what Al Franken did to me,” she added.

Tweeden is a model, announcer and TV personality, and is the news anchor for “McIntyre in the Morning” on Los Angeles radio station KABC. As a model, she appeared in Playboy, Maxim and FHM.

Well, OF COURSE the Democrats will believe the woman’s charges, just as they did when women accused Bill Clinton of sexual assaults and rape, right?

It will go nowhere as the Dem’s are exempt from being accused as sexual harrassers because they nominated Hillary for president and McConnell is a eunuch.

Well, there it is — if accusation = guilt as seems to be the case with Roy Moore, then Franken must step down forthwith.

Unlike the liars accusing Moore, she actually has a pic to prove some of what she is saying. Although, to be bluntly fair and honest... I bet she played along with the gag and this is just another attention seeking fake outrage event.

No she didn’t. She was and is still very upset about what Franken did to her.

The fit has hit the shan.

Al Gropen, er, Franken, ....no woman in her right mind would consent to do anything sexual with that failed piece of human protoplasm.

Al’s defense has always been the unspoken assumption he is homosexual, and these antics would simply not apply.

It’s a power thing. “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and gosh darn it, people LIKE me!”

Sure they do, Al.

The Franken story is on the front page of the Fargo Forum which covers Western Minnesota. It is also a front page story in the Minneapolis Tribune. Hundreds of thousands of readers now know about this guy. And he did it to a woman who was asleep. What a jerk. Time to expel him from the Senate1

“Well, he must resign immediately.”

Actually, if he did — which he won’t — it would hurt Moore.

Wow, it’s going to be hard to pass that one off as no big deal.

Rush Limbaugh said Franken issued an apology.

I wonder if he would have apologized if she had just made the accusation but didn’t have the picture.

I think the only way out for the FrankenDemocrats is for someone else on the USO tour to accuse Leeann Tweeden of acting raunchy and thereby “asking for it.”

There’s no other solution. They’re in a box of their own making.

I suspect you know more than I do about this, so I’ll defer to your judgement.

It has already played out. The media won't cover it, or if they do, they will be dismissive about it. They control the narrative.
