Former Mike Franken Campaign Manager Alleges He Made Unwanted Advances Toward Women, Including Her
Breitbart ^ | 9/19/22 | Jacob Bliss

The former campaign manager for Iowa’s Democrat U.S. Senate nominee, Mike Franken, alleged in a police report that he has made “several” unwanted advances toward women, including her.

A police report showed the alleged assailant’s name blacked out. However, the Iowa Field Report, which first reported on this, indicated that “context clues,” including staffers’ names and positions, revealed that the alleged assailant is Franken, who is running against longtime Hawkeye State lawmaker, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

The police report type was labeled “Assault – Simple.”

The report indicated that the alleged incident also happened near an Ace Hardware parking lot after Franken and Kimberley Strope-Boggus had drinks at a bar in Des Moines on March 18.

Hawkeye State Senate Democrat nominee’s former campaign manager said that Franken “grabbed the collar of the vest she was wearing and kissed her on her mouth” before she could “pull away.” After the alleged assault, Strope-Boggus indicated that the two kept in contact but never spoke about the incident.

We are being governed by psychos, predators, narcissist, and bona fide sociopaths. They have no interest in actually governing or serving the peoples best interest.
We are nothing more than occasional burden some drawer that they have to attend to at times to keep themselves and power and self enrichment.

I understand why now it is so important for them to be on committees that steer legislation that they can drive profit from

In some cases I might be skeptical as the difference between harassment and flirting can simply be from not being attractive enough…but, being a democrats makes me conclude he was being creeptastic

If this buy was a homo, a lesbian, or a twerking tranny, this wouldn't be an issue.

In fact, the twerking tranny could be making advances to your child during a library drag show and you'd never hear about it.

Yeah, along the same lines, I was thinking that since he is apparently straight, the DemocRats may kick him out of the party.

Whatever. Despite his service, he’s a radical leftist, so screw him.

“Michael Thane Franken (born November 8, 1957) is an American retired United States Navy vice admiral.”

I’m not saying he’s a pedophile, only that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was one.

He isn’t. because a pedophile is only interested in children. When the children get too old, they move on to a new victim.

Would it be better or worse if he were a rear admiral?

Don’t they usually tell women who accuse Democrats to just suck it up and remain quiet? They must have someone else in mind for the post?

Franken feels your... pain. Oh wait, wrong Franken. (Minnesota, Iowa, they're both flyover states, right?) Carry on.

Probably offered the title, but knew it would draw suspicion.
