News anchor Leeann Tweeden accused Minnesota Sen. Al Franken Thursday of sexually harassing her multiple times during a USO entertainment tour in the Middle East in 2006.
Tweeden alleges that Franken, a writer for “Saturday Night Live” before he became a senator, wrote a script that featured him kissing her, and harassed her during rehearsals, Tweeden writes for KABC.
When Tweeden returned from the tour, she noticed a photo from the tour where Franken has his hands on her breasts and is smiling into the camera.
“You knew exactly what you were doing. You forcibly kissed me without my consent, grabbed my breasts while I was sleeping and had someone take a photo of you doing it, knowing I would see it later, and be ashamed,” Tweeden wrote.
“I’m still angry at what Al Franken did to me,” she added.
Tweeden is a model, announcer and TV personality, and is the news anchor for “McIntyre in the Morning” on Los Angeles radio station KABC. As a model, she appeared in Playboy, Maxim and FHM.

I don’t really know him, but he does have a daughter (she worked with my cousin in DC.) I want to think the best of him, irregardless of his politics because he was very gracious to my cousin many times. He does have some good traits, as most people do (except Hillary, she is pure evil)
From now on, Franken shall be known as “Hands”.
Crickets. Compare that to how fast nearly all Republicans were calling for Moore to step down. Kind of shows the Republicans were behind the smear and they were all in on it.
Likely why he thought he could make it a joke. That’s the ticket! Okay for fags.

Well, just check his voting record on related issues.
Franken: “As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t. I shouldn’t have done it.”
Epic fail apology wise by ignoring the victim and compounding the offense.
Times like this is when I like to flip over to DU.
The libtards are at each other’s throats. In the midst
of their typical double standard ways there are some
who are actually wringing their hands over Franken.
Al Franken is exempt. He is a Democrat.
So the media does a 24/7 orgasm on him, like they’re doing for Moore; they find other women to reveal that they were molested by him, he goes on TV and begs forgiveness, and then resigns.
Fantasy world!
Won’t happen. What will happen is that dems say it was only a joke, and give him a free pass, as they do to all f*ckfaces in their party.
You have no idea of how EVIL liberals are!......It's not some are EVIL or sometimes one of them is EVIL!
They're EVIL one & all, all the time!
YOU should shelter in place!
It’s just too easy to imagine Al Franken as a sleeze. Totally obnoxious individual.
I hate to say it, but this is pretty weak. Adolescent and gross for a man that age, but nowhere near as bad as I expected.
The anonymous stories I was hearing are way worse than this. I wonder if they are throwing this one out there and waiting for the harassment fatigue to set in before the bad stuff comes out.
Every United States Senator should immediately communicate that Al Franken is unfit to serve in the United States Senate.
Nevertheless...he persisted.
Perfect!
Franken has one thing going for him. John McCain won’t turn on a fellow Democrat.
Post pix of Franken-stein, please.
Guilty.
It’s just good for him he’s not a Klansman.
Why aren’t the same Republicans demanding Roy Moore drop out calling for Franken to be expelled?
