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 wonder how many others in Congress are equally as guilty?? I would guess at least 75%. Then there’s corruption, treason, and other miscellaneous charges like taking money under the table, ya think?
Heres what happened to former KSFO radio star Melanie Morgan who is one of the nicest gals on the air or off and didnt deserve any of this.
....................
Morgan, who was a ABC Radio talk show host for KSFO / San Francisco at the time, appeared August 19, 2000 on ABC’s late night show Politically Incorrect.
She was joined by Franken, William Baldwin, and then-Colorado Lt. Governor Joe Rogers on the panel.
Morgan and Franken had a dispute over the OMB’s budget numbers.
“I was invited and unaware of who his guests were going to be that night. I’ve since learned that though few know this, Al Franken was actually a writer for the show,” Morgan said.
“I made a statement about the budget numbers, Franken challenged me, I challenged him back. It was about spending priorities, actually just a mundane discussion. But he obsessed over it.”
After the show, Morgan said Franken wouldn’t leave her alone, insisting on continuing the argument.
“He approached me backstage, angrily called me out on those numbers and insisted he would prove he was right. He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.
“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.
“He approached Carol, the show’s producer and demanded my home phone number, which was a clear violation of network protocol. I had thought that was the end of the story and was shocked when he started calling my home, badgering me repeatedly.
“I became fearful and called Carol to complain and asked her to tell him to back off. But he made another call after that. I thought that he might end up stalking me at my home in Northern California, it was that bad.
“By the third phone call I was outraged and terrified, as he is really disturbed,” Morgan recounted.
Morgan said Franken finally left her alone, but only after she pushed back and threatened “to call the police and make a report that he was harassing me.”
To this day, she says she is haunted by it: “I never forgot that experience and it informed me of his lack of character and obsessive personality. I believe every word Leann wrote.”
With many calling on Republican Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore to step aside following claims of sexual misconduct from decades ago, will Franken be asked to resign as senator?
“I will happily testify before the Senate Ethics Committee, should a hearing be held regarding Franken’s behavior,” Morgan added.
I am at the end of my limit of patience. We need a serious examination of EVERY F*CKING ONE of all 535 Members of the Congress! AND I MEAN RUNNING THE BIGGEST POLITICAL PROCTOSCOPE AVAILABLE up each and every one of their miserable ASSES! Who they abuse, who they screw, who they take money from, you name it! And go all the way back to when each of them was in puberty! Enough of this $hit! We would be infinitely better off if at least 90% of them were replaced tomorrow with people picked at random from phone books in their respective states! At least with wholesale turnover, it would take a few months for the money people to reestablish their hooks in all of them.
ETR, I don’t have a ready list, but feel free to share with the one’s on yours. Honesty, Integrity, and the Truth need to be reestablished with we the people.
Thanks.
Guilty.
Both of them.
The Franken photo comes at such an opportune time, it almost sounds like it was a deliberate Bannon stratergy and setup!
I listen to Melanie Morgan every weed on Your Voice America. She’s a fabulous conservative. Extremely bright and a go-getter who got a ton of people to take action when Sean Hannity’s job was in jeopardy a few months back.
Melanie is very credible.
I would like to think God had His hand on this; time to start draining the swamp...
Thanks again for the ping!
Pictures! WOW!
Franken is such a low life dirt bag!
“Front page of Drudge now! This can’t be ignored.”
Our local radio Conserva-Babe was all over this, this afternoon on my drive home. WIBA AM 1310. HUGE Audience...she’s after Rush & the hour of Hannity that we have to put up with for some reason...
Al’s cancer has spread from Minnesota to Wisconsin! Wa-Hooo!
“From now on, Franken shall be known as, ‘Hands.’”
Our local Conservat-Babe called him, ‘Franken-Groper’ this afternoon.
I hope EITHER handle STICKS! He STOLE his seat/election.
Exactly she is the best. To think that she had to endure Frankensteins abuses against her is sick.
