Too late. You need to resign.
Nope. Hugging is way different from groping so quit lying through your teeth.
Ive learned from recent stories that in some of those encounters, I crossed a line for some women”

He can’t remember his serial assgrabbin’? He’s just now learned that he feels up the womenfolk? Gotta be the worse excuse he’s come up with yet.
Love watching this smug twit twist in the wind.
He only feels bad because he got caught.
He could have said this last week but didn’t, because these new women did not pop up yet.
He should move in with Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, and then try to convince each other that the NRA did this to them.
“Im a warm person; I hug people....”
Spoken like a true perv. Michael Jackson said he just loved kids and people didn’t understand.
Franken is claiming that women ineptly interpreted his personal warmth for unwanted sexual groping. Women aren’t stupid. Franken is not winning hearts and minds by portraying women as socially incompetent.
This guys needs a haymaker right in the pie hole.

Lying sack of excrement.
When I saw him on set, he walked around like he was the biggest thing in the world. This guy has arrogance under his arrogance. Hefelt he was such a big star he could do ANYTHING HE WANTED. He probably felt he had every right to grab women by the whatever.
He doesnt mean a word of these apologies.
I was impressed by a young lady who went to war with our HR department when that dept. tried to dispel her legitimate complaint about a company perv.
HR: “Have you tried telling him how his behavior makes you feel?”
Young Lady: “The problem has nothing to do with my feelings. The problem is his behavior and it needs to stop.”
That gambit of HR’s would have allowed blatant sexual harassment to be diminished to a “He was innocent good will but she didn’t understand and has to communicate her feelings better. He would have stopped if only she expressed her FEEEEEELINGS. She she she.....”
Franken seems to have received similar coaching. Minimize by leaning toward perception instead of his hand on her breast.
He’s a writer trying to use his skills to escape.
1) Time to resign, Al. Joe Barton too (just to be bipartisan).
2) If you intend to stay in Congress, Al, I suggest the best way to ensure that these despicable actions never happen again is to have both your arms cut off. The choice is yours, Al.
So ran a puff piece, promoted by yahoo. The yahoo comments finally provide some comic relief.
What do you get when you cross Harvey Weinstein with Al Franken?
[drum roll]
You guessed it! A 'Weining' FrankenStein
Do not understand why he is still a senator. And yet Bill Clinton did not resign either.
I don’t support Franken in any way and I especially
reject his politics. However, in terms of career
choices he is similar to Trump and so many other men
and even some women who decide to enter politics
as elected officials after careers in other endeavors.
We are seeing today that the behavior expectations of
politicians is different than other vocations and a
person’s pre political life is fair game and that is
as it should be, I guess. I don’t defend those who
may have had a morally dubious pre political career.
Many others who enter politics later in life were
morally upstanding throughout their lives so good
for them.
On the other hand, and this is the whole point of
this post: consider Bill Clinton. Here is a man who
spent his whole adult life as a politician. He always
knew that standards were higher in his chosen career
but he chose the moral habits of a dog for his
personal code of conduct and he got away with it.
It simultaneously disgusts and fascinates me.
The Senate needs to expell him.
