Hours after news broken that a U.S. senator made inappropriate sexual advances on a woman, Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore said he is not getting the similar benefit of the doubt.
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was accused by sports broadcaster Leeann Tweeden of groping her and kissing her aggressively when they were rehearsing a skit for a USO show in 2006. The incidents occurred two years before Franken - a former comedian - was elected to the Senate.

TV host and sports broadcaster Leeann Tweeden said she was on a USO Tour in 2006 with Al Franken – two years before the comedian was elected to the U.S. Senate - when the incident occurred. Tweed said the two were rehearsing a skit for a show when Franken insisted they practice kissing.
Moore suggested that there was a double standard for how he is being treated in the aftermath of women saying they had romantic encounters with the former Alabama chief justice when they were teens and he was in his 30s. Two of the women said Moore made unwanted sexual advances.
Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations and has said he is conducting an investigation. His attorney, at a press conference Wednesday, questioned the authenticity of a yearbook signing one of the accusers attributed to Moore and asked for the handwriting to be reviewed by an expert.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called on the Senate Ethics Committee to review the allegations against Franken.
Moore pointed out that McConnell said Moore should step aside in the Dec. 12 election against Democrat Doug Jones and that he believed Moore's accusers.
ADVERTISING
McConnell backed Moore's GOP primary runoff opponent, Luther Strange, and Moore has repeatedly called for McConnell to be stripped of his leadership duties before the allegations were made last week.
Franken issued an apology after Tweeden made her allegations in a post on the Los Angeles radio station KABC website, where she is now a morning host. He also said he would cooperate with the ethics investigation.
"Al Franken admits guilt after photographic evidence of his abuse surfaces," Moore posted on Twitter. "Mitch: "Let's investigate."
"In Alabama, ZERO evidence, allegations 100% rejected. Mitch: "Moore must quit immediately or be expelled
At least Judge Moore seems to have rehabilitated himself, unlike most of the others. The Left should be giving him a medal for showing how it can be done.
There is a problem for Mitch and Schumer in getting rid of Al Franken, he has been in the Senate so long he knows where many of the bodies are buried. If Al Franken does not want to go, he’ll take plenty of them with him.
Looks like McTurtle might be blown up by his own bomb.
I honestly thought Al Franken was gay.
Franken will not be ejected, he is a Democrat.
Part of the protocol is non-disclosure. So we found out about the issue with Franken. We won’t find out anything else through their investigation.
The double standard is that you’ll help Trump drain the swamp and Mitch and Al Franken wants to keep the swamp, because Mitch is NOT a Republican, just an Elite who hates real Americans.
*8Roy Moore Says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Has Double Standard For Him, Al Franken **
I agree. That was the first thought that crossed my mind.
McConnell is a creep. And to know he’s affecting our well-being is disturbing.
I almost forgot about Air Anti-America Radio...
I think it was CSI Los Vegas...
