At least seven Democratic women in the U.S. Senate are calling on Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota to resign after the latest allegation of sexual misconduct was published Wednesday morning. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin each released statements or social media messages calling on Franken to resign.
In the latest allegation, a woman told POLITICO that Franken tried to forcibly kiss her following a taping of his radio show in 2006. A former Democratic congressional aide, who was not identified by POLITICO, said Franken pursued her after her boss left the studio. When she tried to avoid him, she claims he told her: "It's my right as an entertainer."

We should always remember Al Franken first won his Senate position through election fraud.

If your house is not built on a honest foundation. It will fracture and crumble.

He never was much of an entertainer, and he certainly is not much of a Senator.
Hope he is finally crashing and burning.

Let's also never forget that the POS Al Franken first made his mark in the political world with such demented diatribes as this, years before he ever ran for Senate (this is what liberals consider to be informed commentary):

THis was before he was a Senator.... when some foolish libtards considered him to be some kind of comedian.... in reality he was always just an insufferably smug twit.

Is there a "right" for entertainers, to engage in sexual harassment?
I don't see it in the Constitution...
Well, our rights don't come from the Constitution, but no one has a "right" to what naturally belongs to someone else, so no Al, there is no such right.

When Air America hit the skids a few years back, one of their hosts went on a tirade. She didn’t mention him by name but made it clear she was talking about him. She said he was very self-centered and only used Air America as a platform to advance his own interests and cared nothing for the platform otherwise.
If he resigns, it’ll be very hard on him as he’s spent the past 20 years moving up to this position. Only if he’s got a bigger prize in mind will he probably resign.

It is his right as an entertainer to be removed from office.

I doubt he was any better as an entertainer than he’s been as a Senator.

I remember him when he was a comedian- and he wasn’t entertaining.

No, Mills won his 1974 last race for the House against a Republican named Judy Petty, later Judy Wolf. He didn’t run again in 1976. People in AR were so disappointed.

Al is “silly” alright, but he always though he was humorous and “cool.”

He’s not the only predator in the farmhouse who has that opinion.
They ALL belong in jail.
