A woman says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair.
It is the first allegation of improper touching by Franken, who is a Democrat, while he was in office. It comes just days after Leeann Tweeden, a local radio news anchor in California, said that Franken forcibly kissed and groped her in 2006, when Franken was a comedian.
Franken has since issued an apology to Tweeden and faces a potential investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee.

Complaining about the enemy is a loser's perspective. Are we to assume the left is so weak minded as to simply give up when faced with adversity? No, like any formidable competitor, they knuckle down and try harder.
Sometimes I get the impression that a variety of posters on FR are working under the assumption that we share some basic truths with the left, and that they are playing unfairly by distorting or outright lying.
Holding this point of view will always result in disappointment or outrage; in order words, feelings. One cannot win a long term battle against an intractable enemy while being emotionally invested.
If you allow yourself to step back and view the playing field from a macro perspective, then you'll have a better understanding of the battle lines. You will also be able to recognized laddered, time test tactics as if you were watching cavalry, artillery and foot (rifles) in a set piece match.
Just remember they hate you with every fiber of your being. They want you first enslaved (while working and paying taxes), then exterminated when your usefulness is over.
Are they evil? Not necessarily so. Rather, it's just the age old struggle over scarce resources. We have it, they want it. It's not any different than Cro vs Neander when homo homo wandered up into Europe.
Defeating Moore, impeaching Trump, and opening the borders to flood the country is their goal. Looked at objectively, it's an excellent strategy to defeat the right. Our task isn't to cry about it, but rather to defeat the threat.
Much of this contest is taking place in media. TC is on top of the cutting edge movements taking place in chan and elsewhere. It's how Trump won, and how Moore (and anyone else) will win.
Wouldn't this make it 3?
I think he wasn’t so much talking about Franken. He was just mentioning the other part of this whole issue, that abuse and sexual abuse has been expanded to a ridiculous point now. You can tell someone they look nice and that is “harassment”.
Unless i miss the mark he was was simply saying that being male is pretty much criminalized these days, not commenting on Franken per se.
“We need the $15m Congressional slush fund list made public.”
THIS!
I see this from a spiritual perspective. This is Satan vs Jesus. And Satan wins right up until the two minute warning. I said, when Bush won in 2000, all this does is put off the inevitable for another four years. And when you look at not only the left, but even the GOPe fighting trump, is there any doubt just how many tentacles this beast has? Sure, we will win from time to time, which is why I argue constantly with liberals in my own sort of “Ben Shapiro” fashion, but the writing is on the wall. In the end, it’s just life. It is quite finite and almost meaningless (to quote Solomon) compared with eternity. What matters to me is not the United States, which is a temporary, earthly entity. What matters is eternal things, like the spirits of those who have accepted Christ and presenting His good news to those who have not yet accepted his eternal gift so that they too may become eternal with Him.
Countries come and go.
Where are the 15 women who remain on the record with these complaints? The only ones I’ve heard of have been disproven. Is there corroboration as there is for this report and for the Leeann Tweeden report? In both cases the victim contemporaneously discussed the matter with other people who also confirm on the record. This is powerful evidence that does not exist in any of the Trump reports I’ve seen.
there is a photo of Franken with the accuser, but also: this happened in 2010, the woman immediately told her husband (who took the photo), her mom and dad (who was also there), and posted the incident on Facebook. She and her family members presented all this evidence to CNN. Not good for Mr. Franken.
