Franken Remains Hidden After Sex Harassment Allegations

Minnesota Sen. Al Franken remains out of the public eye two days after sex harassment allegations first surfaced on Thursday.

Radio host and former model Leeann Tweeden said Franken kissed her against her will and posed for an inappropriate photo with her while she slept. The incidents occurred during a USO tour in the Middle East in 2006.

I agree. I think the power of that photograph is so emblazoned in everyone’s brain now, that the Uniparty will be forced to take action.

That photograph would be a constant reminder of the evil of the Democrat party and the GOPe Establishment.

Combining the Moore reputation lynching and the Frankenstein disrespect of women, that’s a power force that the Uniparty must correct if they ever expect to have a chance in 2018.

So this will be an exception. Normally a guy like Franken would get off scot free on the charge and stay in the Senate. That’s what the Uniparty would like to do.

But they can’t get away with it this time. That unforgettable graphic picture of Franken playing creepy and insulting games with women has done great damage. Shumucky and McTurtle will force Franken to resign.

Franken has denied that he forcibly stuck his tongue down his throat. Thus far, ALL his responses to that allegation is that he “remembers those events differently” (a denial).

He has only apologized for what is obvious with photographic evidence. He hardly deserves any credit for that. Please wake up to reality.

Trump only lost MN by 1.5%

The key to 2018 is to understand that Trump’s margin of victory includes white Democrats and excludes GOPe people.

Only two days? If he is out of public view for more than a week, then I would be curious.

“...forgetting all the emotional BS for a second, leave Frankin in place...the statue of hypocrisy immunizes future political hit jobs.”

Agree...and I’ve been DEFENDING HIM on other sites. If he resigns or is removed from office quickly, then all eyes go back to Roy Moore, since the example has been set.

And actually, I’m SHOCKED that Franken has made it this far, it’s coming up on a week now. What I noted about him taking the heat off Moore is certainly understood by the Dems. The longer they wait, the less effective it becomes as a tool to take down Moore.

So we’ll see how it goes...

“Ellison will be appointed to fill the remainder of his term.”

Actually, even better. While Franken doesn’t have to run again until 2020, Ellison or whoever replaces him will have to run in 2018, and the 2020 (if they win in 2018). Ellison only gets the seat for a year, until the next federal election.

Any female cop who stops Franken is advised to order “Keep your hands in your pockets and your tongue in your mouth or else I’ll shoot!”

Valjar. A rope should be her destiny.

As for her feigned outrage about Franken, don’t forget these Obama gems. What a national treasure he is....

Any female cop who confronts Franken had better warn, “Come at me with your fists raised and I’ll shoot!!”

The left has thrown Al Franken under the bus with cold political calculation. He can not win reelection due to his now known depravity. A new and “clean” democrat might but a Republican stands a better chance. The left is also throwing the Clinton’s under the bus for Bill’s sexual depravity. The Clintons are just collateral damage in the lefts new found morality. This morality has a very short expiration date.

By doing this they equate known depravity verses false accusations against Roy Moore.

This is a win for the left if they pull it off. The Clintons are history anyway, Franken is no longer electable and perhaps they can destroy Roy Moore at the same time by finding their new morality until after next election at which time it is business as normal.

But his greatest crime isn’t being a jerk, it is stealing the election. He stole the election, right in everyone’s face, and no one said anything about it.

Too bad Leeann didn't reveal his sexual abuse of her in time to keep him out of the senate.

After stealing the senate election in 2009 Franken became the deciding vote to give democrats the 60 vote supermajority they needed to pass the Obamacare bill into law.

If Franken had not been able to steal the senate election we would not have Obamacare.

I was referring to this one incident. If more has surfaced, then fine, he should address it. I’ve been out of touch for a few days.
