UPDATED 1 MINUTE AGO
Democrats called Al Franken’s behavior unacceptable, returned his campaign donations, and hinted that — absent a satisfying explanation in response to a sexual harassment allegation — they’d eventually demand he resign.
Anything less would risk catastrophe for a party that stakes its political reputation on fighting for women. Especially one that is just now, 20 years after the fact, grappling with its unyielding support of Bill Clinton.
“Sexual harassment is never acceptable and must not be tolerated,” said Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “I hope and expect that the Ethics Committee will fully investigate this troubling incident, as they should with any credible allegation of sexual harassment.”
Talk show host Leeann Tweeden on Thursday accused Franken of sexually assaulting her during an overseas USO tour in 2006, three years before he became a Democratic senator from Minnesota. She said Franken forcibly kissed her, and later posed for a photo in which he groped her chest while she slept.

Thanks for posting this on those other threads. :)
They can lose Al the Gov will appoint another and they can still go after Moore
If Al Franken loses his Senate seat because of this it will be the first time he’s made me laugh.
We are seeing a purge of the old guard, and any potential candidates from that crew for 2020. Think long ball here, who benefits? Who is doing this? My guess? Obama. Who does he want to be his puppet in 2020? Moochelle? Val? Who does he want?....
Exactly.
Decision has been made to kick Al off the bus. He’s toast.
ValJar is Barack O’Homo the Fabulous.
Will they do that? Stay tuned. It sure seems that Democrats hardly have any moral high ground here. This could backfire on them.
And let's not forget the Kennedys.
Expect to be disappointed.
When I starting composing this post I wasn’t sure if the story was for real or not. So I posted it under “Chat”. When I learned that it was for real I forgot to switch it to Current News.
under the bus.
btw, valerie j ran the show. hussein was a water boy for her.
Okay, Valerie is up to something. No way she is going after Franken just because it’s the right thing to do.
If they keep Franken, Moore is a shoo-in.
They simply cannot continue the anti-Moore jihad and keep Franken.
And, you know, Hillary only carried Minnesota by 1.5% A real Republican could not win there, but a Trumpian might be able to pull it off.
With Franken, that’s expected.
Yep.
Kamala Harris, she’s equally as ineligible as he is.
Exactly. That’s why she was assigned to stay very close to the Obamas in the WH.
