Another woman has come forward to accuse Al Franken of sexual harassment:
A former Democratic congressional aide said Al Franken tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of his radio show in 2006, three years before he became a U.S. senator.A chorus of Senate democrats has risen to demand that Franken resign, includingThe aide, whose name POLITICO is withholding to protect her identity, said Franken (D-Minn.) pursued her after her boss had left the studio. She said she was gathering her belongings to follow her boss out of the room. When she turned around, Franken was in her face.
The former staffer ducked to avoid Franken’s lips. As she hastily left the room, she said, Franken told her: “It’s my right as an entertainer.”
“He was between me and the door and he was coming at me to kiss me. It was very quick and I think my brain had to work really hard to be like ‘Wait, what is happening?’ But I knew whatever was happening was not right and I ducked,” the aide said in an interview. “I was really startled by it and I just sort of booked it towards the door and he said, ‘It’s my right as an entertainer.’”

Nancy Pelosi at first defended John Conyers following the slew of allegations that poured out against him, but then she does a 180 and demands he resign. In case you hadn't heard, Conyers suggested to one intern he harassed that she might go the way Chandra Levy:

If you think this is all happening out of the defense of women and their dignity and doing what's right, you'd be wrong. This is all about taking down Trump. democrats are clearing the decks of baggage so they mount an attack on Moore first, and then climb the ladder to Trump.

Yes Trump is the ultimate target.
The question becomes: who stands to benefit?
President Trump has been methodically checking off the line items he said he would do on the campaign trail.
The one item that remains unfulfilled is to “Lock her up”. Which I believe is coming, slowly, but with airtight precision. There is a lot of talk about how Sessions is an empty suit, etc. You don’t grab the snake by the tail, you go straight for the head. And With the Clintons, you don’t go in without an airtight case.
There have been zero leaks regarding the investigation regarding Clintons, and I believe that is by design. The democRATS know this. The next question then becomes, when will they specifically target Trump, and will he pre-empt them with direct criminal charges against Hillary, Bill, Huma, Mills, Holder, Lynch, Comey, Mueller, and possibly Obama.
The ensuing shitstorm would engulf the democRATS and they are actively trying to head this off.
That is what ALL of this is about. The Clinton’s are not in a position to protect themselves and their partners in crime and this is the paramount goal.
BINGO!
The Dummycrats are trying to claim the moral high ground here throwing Conyers and Franken under the bus.
It won't work. Why? BILL CLINTON. They supported A SERIAL RAPIST, ABUSER AND ADULTERER in the White House who ADMITTED to having sex with an Intern young enough to be his daughter.
There's NO WAY the Democrats can EVER claim the moral high ground after that. Not even if they disowned Bill Clinton and burned him at the stake today -- it's too late.
Because there is no investigation. That's why there's zero leaks.
I take Trump at his word....and this is one I don’t expect him to welch on.
Well, maybe not. But I sure wish they'd give it a try!
Everything they have tried has failed. This will too.
The thing that gets me is that there is an actual photo of Franken creeping on a sleeping woman. There ate no photos of Roy Moore or President Trump creeping on women.
Bugs me too.
That ship has sailed.
Ask Ted Cruz how effective a Senator can be on the short side of a 1-99 vote.
If Moore is elected (which I expect) they will not let him take a leak in the Senate, much less accomplish anything.
That story sounds fishy to be honest.
A Congressional aide, way before he was in Congress?
“It’s my right as an entertainer” which was his recent excuse AFTER he was caught on the photos? But otherwise who would say that?
I can’t stand Fraken, who’s a slimeball, but this looks like it could be a railroad job. But chances are he’s going down tomorrow either way
If the dems actually do go down that path, there won’t be any of them left to fight.
ROFL! I'm sure glad someone picked up on that one and ran with it ... thank you for the laugh!
Yep, good observation.
Could very well be. I've seen several libtards on social medias complaining about President Trump's sexual harassment transgressions when it come to Franken's. Which we know President Trump's was fake news but this could be the new twist in the narrative to try to take him down.

It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it! ;>)
First, our side gets SMEARED with lies. Your commie strategy is not going to work ANY more! M
Second, we are OWED two mulligans. One for Ted Kennedy and the oth r for Bill Clinton. A Senator and a President!
Shove it up your ash, you commie bass turds!

Every time someone says “impeach” a leftist touches themself.
The Obama crime family wants to get rid of the Clinton crime family. The Dems are not going to protect them.
The Dems want the Muslim Keith Ellison in the place of Franken and have now issued a fatwa against Franken himself.
Alahwahoo Whackbar!
Its the Alinsky rule, leave no crisis unexploited in the destruction of America ( Alinsky-Rules for Radicals.)
