Creep in his 50's doing what he did. Thats who he is. Yuk!



Democratic Sen. Al Franken reportedly won’t resign amid a sexual misconduct scandal, but his future in Congress remains unsettled amid more calls Sunday for congressional investigations into his and potential Senator Roy Moore’s conduct with women.

A spokesman for Franken, who represents Minnesota, told his hometown paper The Star Tribune on Saturday that the senator would not resign.

“No,” the spokesman said. “He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday. And he’s doing a lot of reflecting.”

I listen to a podcast that has been covering all of these sexual harassment/assault accusations and they mentioned specifically about Al Franken, that he offered to have an ethics investigation brought against him. He said he would be as helpful as he should be.
You realize how funny and useless that really is right?

Please name the last time the ethics committee did ANYTHING of consequence to a sitting Senator...

It's easy to offer up something that while it may sound serious is little more than mental pablum for the masses.
"Look at me, I'm willing to be investigated" (by the body that takes years to investigate and then does nothing)...

These sex stories aka fantasies are getting a bit out of hand in this thread

bashing the victim, just like Hillary did with all the allegations against bill...."oh they were sluts that seduced bill"


Franken is a rude, crude POS, that never should have been elected after his treason

That's laying it on a bit thick, really. Treason? Really?

Why didn't this come out when he was originally running for a seat?

I'm not condoning his behavior, but this happened when he wasn't in politics.

There's been no history of this behavior from him as far as we know, unlike some other politicians. A lot of his female workers have even come out to say that he has never been less than a supportive gentleman when dealing with him.

He screwed up 12 years ago, yes.

A treasonous, rude, crude POS? Sounds like he should run for president if the current sitting POTUS is a reflection of acceptablity.

It's your word against hers.

I heard her story.

I believe it too.

Glad to see you defending Al Franken.

My wife and I will not be inviting you over for Thanksgiving.

Simple rule of thumb. If you wouldn't say or do it to your mother, daughter or grandmother, then don't do it.
The problem with people in power they feel entitled and above the every day rules the rest of us live by. I'm happy to see the mighty taken to task.
What I worry about are gold diggers jumping on the band wagon. It will absolutely undermine the credibility of the real victims.
