Democratic Sen. Al Franken was accused by a California sports radio broadcaster on Thursday of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006 -- but the politician has a history of making crude remarks about sexually assaulting women.

More and more coming out about this POS. He claims it is comedy so he can hide behind that claim.

Time to weaponize Leftist tactics against America’s enemies. We should each research out nearest democrat or RINO Congressmen/Senators and see who else has skeletons in their closets or rumors to that effect. Then start digging for proof. Drain the Swamp!

I don’t understand people like this.

Rape is a big deal to women. Why would any man voice something that would potentially cause fear in one of them?

This isn’t funny. It’s sick and twisted.

When done publicly in a well know media outlet, it advances the idea this kind of talk is okay.

The lie that lefty/progressive/socialist/Democrat men are on womens’ side is as big as the lie that they are on blacks’ side.

Women, like blacks, only fill a need for them (sex, votes). They are not cared for. More leftist lies.
