Another woman has accused Franken of groping her today.

An Army veteran says Sen. Al Franken groped her in December 2003, telling CNN that while she was deployed in Kuwait, the Minnesota Democrat cupped her breast during a photo op.

She is number 5 - all 5 told people at the time that Franken groped them, pictures of all 5 with Franken.
IF Franken and Conyers were in private industry instead of Public Office - they would be fired.

They both keep saying - let the Ethics Committee investigate, fully aware that the Ethics Committee keeps everything secret and never does anything about these types of things. They only thing they do is arrange Secret Pay-offs to the Victims and the predators get to continue their Sexual Harassment.

$17 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Money in secret payments to protect Predators in Congress.

Fortunately for Franken, he belongs to a political party that doesn't care about sexually harassing women. Sadly, the base of his party feels the same way.

I'm sure Franken feels very much at home in the Democrat Party.

Exactly. It is time that Al Franken resigns. The Democratic Party manipulated the system with voter fraud to steal the Minnesota senate seat for him in the 2008 election. Strange how those extra votes for Franken were found in the recount. That did not fool anyone. He has been a deceiving, two-faced creep from the very beginning.

Americans want term limits for Congress members. No more career politicians in any political party.

Totally not a Franken fan. He was the least funny comedian on SNL and his first election when ballots were mysteriously discovered (in the trunk of someone's car if I remember correctly) is a joke. BUT, if all of the women who were groped by Franken were groped before he became Senator, it's none of the Senate's business. Let the women take their accusations to the police and if they waited too long to do it, too bad for them. That goes for Moore, too, if he's elected. If the people in Minnesota and Alabama want to unelect them or the police decide to arrest them and the courts convict them, so they can't perform their Senate duties, then they should get the heave ho from the Senate.

Now about Conyers running around in his underwear...does anyone's 88 year old grandfather not do that or make crazy sexual comments to any woman half their age or less? How many times does your grandmother roll her eyes when he makes a pass at some 20 year old waitress right in front of her. He's a geezer and geezers do those things. Tell me some young woman is afraid of them. I don't believe it. There's your case for term limits. If he did what he's accused of while a US Representative, though, the House should expel him.

Anyone else where slush money was paid to keep their lechery WHILE IN OFFICE under the table and unknown to their constituents should be ousted.

Default Pelosi Should Also Ask Franken To Step Down

It is the right thing to do. Anything else smacks of favoritism... or worse.

They won’t, dems only care about sexual assault when it’s politically expedient.
