Amid the emergence of a 2006 photo of Al Franken groping journalist and talk radio anchor Leeann Tweeden, a photo of the embattled Minnesota Senator appearing to grab comedian Joy Behar’s breast has also resurfaced. The photo was taken at the New York Friar’s Club Roast of Rob Reiner. The event, which took place in October 2000, was presented by Comedy Central.
On Thursday, The View co-host reacted to the photo of Franken and Tweeden — taken during a two week USO Tour by, according to the USO, Sen. Franken’s brother Owen Franken — and said, “it’s just so disappointing.”
“It was disappointing to hear this about Al Franken. I can’t back Al. He’s a very funny comedian, he was during this time. He’s a senator from Minnesota,” Behar said. “He’s a great advocate for women. It’s just so disappointing. Men of all different stripes are out there doing crazy sh*t.”
Behar said Tweeden’s claims that Franken shoved his tongue down her throat without her consent during a rehearsal for a USO skit are “more upsetting than the picture, because in the picture he was obviously making a joke.”
“I don’t know if he actually had his hands on her, but it’s the part [about the USO skit] where he thrust his tongue down her throat, allegedly, and forced her to kiss him. That is what you call nonconsensual assault,” Behar said.
Franken apologized, twice, for groping Tweeden and called for a Senate ethics probe into his own behavior.
“I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate,” he wrote.

Franken is clearly a breast man.
that’s the most action Joy has had since she was Barbara Wawa’s secretary....
Touching those dirty pillows causes a toxic shock. Maybe that is why Franken is so evil.
Franken swears he had to be very drunk, paid well and on a dare to do it.
True dat.
Yuck & Yuck
What really boils down to is the treasonous, globalist socialists are attacking the Uniparty from the left and patriotic Americans are attacking the Uniliparty from the Constitution.
The 2018 primaries will be a bloodbath for incumbents of both parties and I suspect it will be one of the largest shakeups of Congress in modern times.
Great advocates for women don’t treat women the way Franken does.
Behar: “... claims that Franken shoved his tongue down her throat without her consent during a rehearsal for a USO skit are “more upsetting than the picture, because in the picture he was obviously making a joke.”
Leering sexual pic-taking using a sleeping woman as a prop is okay? Words fail.
Why would she allow him to do that in public?
Doesn’t she get it, that this more or less makes it look cool to do this?
This is no favor to women. It’s a betrayal of them.
Franken is a serial groper. But, Joy Behar?
These clown is finished with photographic proof seen by all.
Franken’s wedding ring is also prominently displayed while groping JOY BEHAR..what a dirt bag!
Drat, more Franken stuff.
For a minute I thought that somebody had ACTUALLY roasted Rob Reiner.
Joy Behar?????
Man, that is one sick and twisted guy.
Al is hardly a man at all, so it’s probably no big deal.
The double standard between how they have reacted to Roy Moore and Franken is outrageous.
Joy Behar? I’m seeing this more is a desperate cry for help.
