Newly revealed pictures show Sen. Al Franken grabbing self-described feminist Arianna Huffington on her bottom and breasts. The never-before-published images, taken for a magazine in 2000 and obtained exclusively by The Post, include a number of frames showing the former “Saturday Night Live” star grabbing the media mogul’s buttocks as they pose back to back. An even more shocking snap shows the pair posing on a bed, with Franken cupping Huffington’s breast with one hand.

This has been quite the day! Christmas came early and Santa left some wonderful presents under the tree for conservatives. Present #1: A second woman has come forward accusing Al Franken of unwanted sexual contact: A woman says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. It is the first allegation of improper touching by Franken, who is a Democrat, while he was in office. It comes just days after Leeann Tweeden, a local radio news anchor in California, said that Franken forcibly kissed...

RUSH: Well! Another woman has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Al Franken. Franken says he’s not gonna resign. He’s sitting out there contemplating and reflecting, which means he’s trying to remember any others that could come forward and try to get hold of him. If anybody’s gonna hire Hillary Clinton, it would be Al Franken. Yes, another woman has come forward, sexual misconduct allegations against Al Franken. The woman says that Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010. She says that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota state fair. So by my count, Al...

Days after a photo surfaced of Sen. Al Franken grabbing a woman’s breasts as she slept, a second woman has come forward with allegations the Minnesota Democrat inappropriately touched her in 2010. The woman alleges Franken grabbed her buttocks while posing for a photo with her at the Minnesota State Fair, according to CNN. The woman, Lindsay Menz, first tweeted about the alleged incident last Thursday, in response to explosive claims by Los Angeles radio anchor Leeann Tweeden that Franken forcibly kissed and groped her during a 2006 USO tour. "In August 2010, @alfranken grabbed me while taking a photo...

On Friday, the day after two women accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of harassment, HuffPo published an article titled, “The Framing Of Al Franken By Two Trump Supporters; And The Dems Are Playing Right Along.” The piece is written by David Fagin, a frequent HuffPo contributor. According to Media Equalizer, the story was removed just a few hours later (the archive can be seen here). According to the archive, HuffPo not only called into the question the credibility of both accusers, Fagin also smeared them personally. “I’m sorry. But something is rotten in Denmark. Two Trump supporting, right-wing zealots come...

And you want America to take you seriously?! Puhleeze! I have a vivid memory of putting on my mother’s high heels and covering my head with the veiled hat she wore on special occasions. All decked out, I made my way up The Boulevard in New Haven to our neighbor’s home about four houses away. And on that sojourn, I have an equally vivid memory of a man sitting on his porch and stopping me in my tracks with his comments. “Well well well, Missy, don’t we look pretty! And where would you be going today looking so beautiful?” It...

We now have so many sexual harassment charges popping up against Democrat officeholders and Democrat supporters in Hollywood that it is impossible to keep up with. The fake news media is myopically focused on the allegations against Republican senate candidate Roy Moore, but he is without question the exception to the emerging rule that sexual harassment of women, much like voter fraud, is almost solely the province of liberal Democrats. What is it in the liberal male mind that makes them think it’s OK to abuse women? Do they think that, because they support “women’s issues” like abortion on demand...

Radio host Leeann Tweeden’s apparently well-founded claim that Democrat Sen. Al Franken, the professional vulgarian and former comedian who has a long, well-documented track record of making crude remarks about sexually assaulting women, kissed and groped her without her consent, is sending shock waves through Democratic Party circles and the mainstream media. President Trump, who himself has faced plenty of sex-related accusations, took to Twitter to mock Franken. Last night at 10:06 Trump tweeted, “The Al Frankenstein picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while...

A woman says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. It is the first allegation of improper touching by Franken, who is a Democrat, while he was in office. It comes just days after Leeann Tweeden, a local radio news anchor in California, said that Franken forcibly kissed and groped her in 2006, when Franken was a comedian. Franken has since issued an apology to Tweeden and faces a potential investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar will help champion a sexual assault bill that was originally introduced by Sen. Al Franken. The change comes after a Los Angeles radio anchor said Franken forcibly kissed her during a 2006 USO tour. Leeann Tweeden also said Franken posed for a photo with his hand on her breasts as she slept. Abby Honold, a sexual assault survivor and advocate, announced Saturday that Klobuchar's office would help champion the bill. "Happy to announce that my legislation for sexual assault victims will be championed by @amyklobuchar's office," Honold's tweet read. Klobuchar's office confirmed the senator planned to sponsor...

Should he stay or should he go? Hollywood, never as monolithic as Fox News viewers believe, certainly has reached no consensus on Al Franken, the Saturday Night Live veteran turned Minnesota senator. “Zero tolerance,” tweets Alyssa Milano, firmly in the he-needs-to-go camp. On the other side: “He made a mistake,” said Chelsea Handler, agreeing with a Franken-supporting Bill Maher on last night’s Real Time With Bill Maher. “He’s not a predator.” Maher neatly summed up the anti-resignation argument: “He did a bad thing and the condemnation has been universal, which he deserves. What he doesn’t deserve is to be lumped...

Photo of Democratic senator groping news anchor Leeann Tweeden goes viral Progressives aligned with the Bernie Sanders camp called for replacing disgraced Sen. Al Franken with a fellow Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Keith Ellison, as support grew Friday for the senator’s resignation. Justice Democrats, a group of former Sanders campaign staffers and others prominent leftists, launched a petition Thursday asking Mr. Franken to resign following the release of a photo showing him groping Leeann Tweeden as she slept on a 2006 USO tour. “Franken must go. We do not tolerate those who abuse their power,” said Justice Democrats PAC executive director...

Hillary Clinton came to Sen. Al Franken’s defense on Friday during an interview for her new book, saying he should be praised for his “accountability” and willingness to apologize. Speaking to WABC Radio’s Rita Cosby, the former Secretary of State instead pointed the finger at President Trump and embattled GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore — claiming they should be viewed as the real predators, and not Franken. “Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore and Donald Trump who have done neither,” Clinton said....

FULL TITLE: Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards on Senator Who Groped a Woman: “Al Franken is a Leader for Women” U.S. Senator Al Franken is in hot water for forcibly kissed a woman and later groping her as she slept during a USO trip in 2006. Franken, who was not a senator at the time, issued an apology statement. On Thursday, a woman named Leeann Tweeden accused Franken of forcibly kissing her and later groping her while she was asleep during a 2006 tour to entertain U.S. troops, the BBC reports. Tweeden also produced a photo of Franken smiling as...

UPDATE with video Bill Maher didn’t exactly go easy on his pal Al Franken tonight, spending much of the opening monologue and a big chunk of Real Time’s season finale tossing joke grenades at the Minnesota senator. But the HBO host drew a hard line between the former Saturday Night Live staffer and the ever-growing gang of famous abusers and grabbers. Maher then described the scandal – the photo of Franken “mock-groping” Leeann Tweeden, then writing and demanding a rehearsal of a sketch calling for a kiss. “Al’s a friend,” Maher said, “but Al I gotta tell you, if you...

Thanks to people like Liz Warren, Washington, D.C., is a sanctuary city for perverts. One month ago, at the height of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal, Warren defiantly told her own story of harassment and declared, “Me too.” Now that her Senate bestie Al Franken has been caught in a perv-pinch, it’s more like, “Me, who?” Warren was fired up in October, recalling the advances of her assailant, a former senior faculty colleague. “He slammed the door and lunged for me,” the senator said. “It was like a bad cartoon. He’s chasing me around the desk, trying to get his...

A young woman whose brutal rape and lengthy fight for justice spurred Sen. Al Franken to sponsor a law to help sexual assault victims wants his name off the legislation after a woman accused him of groping her. Abby Honold, 22, said she was stunned on Thursday when she learned of the arch-liberal Franken’s piggish behavior — and said she decided to part ways with the hypocritical creep. “He was one of the few people who listened to me and actually let me talk,” Honold told The Washington Post. “It felt really validating to be heard and to see something...

Tensions erupt between the two co-hosts during a discussion about the sexual harassment allegations levied against Minnesota senator Al Franken. Things got uncomfortable on "The View" Friday morning, after a heated debate about sexual harassment in politics led to a war of words between co-hosts Joy Behar and Meghan McCain. Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the show by reading President Donald Trump's tweets condemning Senator Al Franken's alleged sexual harassment and groping of newscaster Leeann Tweeden during a 2006 U.S.O. tour. That didn't sit well with the moderator, who called our Trump for not speaking out against Alabama Senate Republican candidate...

She argues that there are probably other Democrats who have committed sexual misconduct, so “if we set this precedent in the interest of demonstrating our party’s solidarity with harassed and abused women, we’re only going to drain the swamp of people who, however flawed, still regularly vote to protect women’s rights and freedoms.”

Just do it, Mitch. Prove your outrage over the allegations against Roy Moore isn't just political opportunism to reject a conservative you don't like. Apply your newfound sense of outrage to anyone in the Senate accused of harassment. Plus, think of the money we'd save since the taxpayers are currently on the hook for harassment settlements.
