A TV host and sports broadcaster on Thursday accused Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006.
Leeann Tweeden accused Franken of groping her, without her consent, while she was asleep and provided a photo as evidence.

These are serious allegations and Franken needs to step aside.
Story after story regarding Roy Moore on CNN Breaking News. Not one tiny mention of Al Franken. Anyone surprised?
A sitting Senator sexually assaults an unconscious woman.
He needs to be charged and needs to resign.
I believe the allegation. Mitch must open an ethics investigation
in the Senate and expel Franken
I look at the photo and it's pretty obvious he was just goofing off.
Au contraire, Pierre. Ariana Huffington would WILLINGLY jump into a cozy little snuggle with Al Franken.
Oops, sorry. You said no woman in her right mind - for Ariana Huffington, that ship sailed a long time ago.
Hannity can take his Tick-Tock and shove it up his a...
EXPEL HIM FROM THE SENATE!
What the F is funny about this photo?
Was it funny?
Intended to humiliate her?
Showing his power over her?
Did he tell her he touched/faked touching her breasts or did she find out after the fact with this photo?
Yup, I cottoned on to that. But that may make it worse, to lefties anyway, that Franken did it to a journo.
It is clear for all to see that this is a female baby
bear being mauled by failed comedian Al Franken
That’s right, he’s a comedian so it’s OK to “goof off”. You have created the perfect Democrat talking points for this issue. OK, people, nothing to see here, move on...
That’s right and if the R Senators had any balls, they’d write up a resolution to that effect yet today and put it on the calendar for about 5 weeks from now. Fight fire with fire.
FNC just had his 100% predicted response: I thought it was funny, it was meant to be funny, it wasn’t funny and I apologize.
Absolved.
The rest of the story suggests this was an act of petty revenge for her prior rejection of his unwanted advances.
After relenting, he proceeded to forcefully kiss her.
As a TV host and sports broadcaster, as well as a model familiar to the audience from the covers of FHM, Maxim and Playboy, I was only expecting to emcee and introduce the acts, but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along.
When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.
On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’
He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.
He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.
seriously?!...Trump has been hounded for a year about a comment he made while joking around...Franken is posing for a photo while touching the breasts of a sleeping woman...who now comes out and slams him for sexual harrasment / borderline assault ...no this is not going to fly.
