ST. PAUL, Minn.
Democratic state Sen. Dan Schoen will resign following a string of sexual misconduct allegations, his attorney said Tuesday, marking the first resignation from a recent tide of sexual harassment accusations in Minnesota politics.
Attorney Paul Rogosheske told the Star Tribune Schoen would announce his resignation and address the allegations during a Wednesday news conference. The 42-year-old first-term senator had faced widespread calls to resign from his Cottage Grove-area seat since allegations of sexual harassment first surfaced earlier this month.
The allegations against Schoen range from unwanted advances on a House candidate via text to sending photos of male genitalia to a female staffer in the Senate. Lindsey Port, a Democratic House candidate in 2015, said Schoen commented on her buttocks at a party event before grabbing it and saying he could tell she was good at door-knocking because of her rear end.

Okay, so, uh, does that make a bit of sense?

These allegations are occurring in the Arizona statehouse, as well. But there, the primary focus has been on a Republican.

It’s no wonder politicians and actors think the worst of men and spend so much time denouncing us - they think we must all be just like them.

Pretty sure the “door-knocking” refers to all of the exercise she would get going door-to-door on the campaign trail. A local gal politician (very fit looking) would post her fit-bit results each day. She was crazy walking the neighborhoods every day.
But yeah - the penis photos are a bit disturbing. I knew a married guy that sent one to a gal in a bar - he bragged about it to me! Weird.
