Considering that women are involved in this problem, why don’t the DEMS just make women illegal ?
Remembering the comment Whoopie Goldberg made concerning Roman Polanski, “it wasn’t rape rape”. Liberals will go to any lengths to protect their own. Deny ANY wrong doing.
Is anyone surprised that this is ending with the same ol’ double standard? If a Republican is accused, he must resign. If a Democrat is accused that’s, well, er, just different, doncha see?
Amid reports of rampant sexual harassment on Capitol Hill, a news anchor has accused the Minnesota senator of sexually assaulting her in 2006, during a USO Tour to entertain the U.S. armed forces in the Middle East and Afghanistan. On Thursday, Leeann Tweeden of KABC Radio posted what appears to be irrefutable evidence: a photo of Franken, a former comedian, smiling and looking directly at the camera as he seemingly groped her breasts while she slept.
And it actually gets worse. In Tweeden’s account, published by the Los Angeles radio station KABC 790, Franken first assaulted her during the tour. Franken had written a comedy skit in which he would have to kiss her, and he insisted on rehearsing the skit backstage, despite her protests. Per Tweeden’s account:
He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.
I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time.
I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.
I felt disgusted and violated.
Tweeden wrote that she chose not to alert her supervisors of the incident, so as not to “cause trouble” while in the middle of a war zone, and ignored Franken for the remainder of the tour. It wasn’t until she returned home to L.A., she wrote, that she saw the photo, taken during the 36-hour flight from Afghanistan to L.A. “I felt violated all over again. Embarrassed. Belittled. Humiliated,” she wrote.
Every time I hear his voice or see his face, I am angry. I am angry that I did his stupid skit for the rest of that tour. I am angry that I didn’t call him out in front of everyone when I had the microphone in my hand every night after that. I wanted to. But I didn’t want to rock the boat. I was there to entertain the troops and make sure they forgot about where they were for a few hours. Someday, I thought to myself, I would tell my story.
Franken has already responded. Suffice it to say, this won’t cut it.

You did? Awesome
I’m dam sick of these glib gullible femiNazis........
They should just come out and admit it....
Getting a cheap feel, a lewinsky, a rape or getting weinsteined...... is considered a “reward” to scumbags like Bill Clinton, Al Franken.
Fact is, FemiNazis viscerally despise the male gender.
But those who protect their so-called “abortion rights” get an entitlement.......a free pass to sexually assault a woman.
anyone know if Jones has been asked if Franken and Blumenthal should resign?
Well, since a lot of them are women....
Nope!
Didn’t!
Musta hit the wrong button to begin with.

Media Equalizer and Media Equality Project Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward to recall her own frightening encounter with Franken.
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.
“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 intimidating.
“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.

...He was not a member of Congress at the time this occurred. He was just a comedian...
And he’s still just a comedian every time he opens his mouth in the Senate. Perhaps more like a joke.
It’s the same as it ever was with the left. Look at all the crap those wild wild Kennedy boys got away with. If libs had ANY shred of intellectual honesty there’s an airport in NYC, an old football stadium in DC and many highways, byways, schools and other buildings and landmarks they would demand to be renamed.
I thought that he was gay.
