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.

The 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.’”

A chorus of Senate democrats has risen to demand that Franken resign, including And of course, the ditzy Susan Collins of Maine (R). An announcement is scheduled for Thursday and the betting that Franken will resign, but don't celebrate yet.

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.
