Women speaking out about the men who have sexually assaulted, abused or harassed them will take to the national stage on Wednesday where organizers and past victims will call for Sen. Al Franken (D-MI) and Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and Joe Barton (R-TX) to resign. All three lawmakers have been accused of sexual misconduct.
Some of the women who will be at the National Press Club in D.C. have been speaking out for years about former president Bill Clinton assaulting or abusing them, including Juanita Broaddrick (who said Clinton raped her), Paula Jones (whose suit against Clinton for sexual harassment was settled before a trial) and Leslie Millwee, (who said she was stalked and assaulted three times by Bill Clinton while she was a TV reporter in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Melanie Morgan, a radio talk show host and co-founder of Media Equalizer, which organized the Media Equality Project and Wednesday’s event, will share her experience with Franken.
Morgan told Breitbart News that she met Franken in 2000 at a roundtable discussion about the federal budget. She said he got in her face several times and then, after getting her phone number from a producer of the event, Franken called here repeatedly.
“I felt very threatened, very intimidated by his behavior,” said Morgan, who finally stopped the harassment after she told Franken she was going to contact the police.
“He completely freaked me out,” Morgan said. And that’s also what resonated with her after hearing radio talk show host Leann Tweeden’s story about Franken groping her when she was sleeping and force kissing her while they were taking part in a USO trip abroad.
“I knew in that moment that her story was true,” Morgan said.

In any case, the stupid liberal assumed that the women would stay silent out of embarrassment or fear. Failing that, the powerful liberal men (professing to be sensitive to women's issues) would discredit, demean or buy off the women they used.
The sex con was fashioned after the MO of then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton inviting Paula Jones, a low-level state employee, to his hotel room at a conference and lewdly propositioned her.
......think Harvey Weinstein asking young actresses to give him a massage or watch him take a shower or forcing his pecker into their mouths.........or John Conyers asking a staffer to touch his icon.......
None of this empowered women. Intimidation was an inherent part of the sex con.
Then-First Lady "Hillary the feminist" was part and parcel of it----setting up a bimbo eruption team with tax dollars to demean willy's accusers. Hillary called Monica a "narcisstic loony tune."
It amazes me that Peckerwood's leading lights like George Clooney and Meryl Streep say they "did not know" about Weinstein.....a guy they knew professionally and socially.
Yet, thousands of miles away, young women graduates of the New York Film School were warned to not take jobs offered by The Weinstein Company
How many clients will Gloria Allred pick up from the long list of Conyers’ and Franken’s victims? Oooops, she only goes after Republicans...never mind....
YEEESSSS!
The strategy should be somehow getting Conyers to resign first. Then, almost immediately, point out how Clinton still wanders the Earth w/o shame and Franken is still in office. Make it a race issue.
If they can get Franken to resign after pointing out the racial preference, that seat will be in play since Minn will have to hold a special election ... Trump only lost Minn by 1.5% ... The Dems can’t afford another close race and they shot their wad on Alabama.
