Are you all forgetting that our esteem president was recorded admitting abusing women and even saying, "grab them by their *******."
What about slick Willie's BJ's in the White House?

Default Al Franken Accuser Leeann Tweeden Does Not Want Him Driven From office.

Al Franken Accuser Leeann Tweeden Does Not Want Him Driven From Office





I didn’t do this to have him step down. I think Al Franken does a lot of good things in the Senate,” Tweeden said when asked if he should resign. “You know, I think that’s for the people of Minnesota to decide. I’m not calling for him to step down. That was never my intention.



“I just wanted him to understand what he did was wrong and how he treated me and how abusers do that under the guise that it’s funny, or that ‘Oh, I can get away with it because I’m a comedian,’" Tweeden continued. “That’s never funny. When you shine a light on it, that’s the culture of it — that’s the chance we need to make.”




Though it’s been over 10 years since the alleged incident, Tweeden said she never let go of the negative feelings about it. “I stayed quiet, but I was angry,” Tweeden said on GMA, adding that she hadn’t spoken out about the alleged incident before because it was “a different time,” and that her now-husband had warned her she would face career consequences and would be “victimized.”




I think the biggest difference is that Franken knows what he did was wrong and admitted to it. Not that what it did should be swept under the rug but it's a step in the right direction.

You know, I hope he doesn't resign as his running for reelection will make that seat an easier pickup for the GOP vs. if he resigned and another Dem was appointed in his place.

It's a serious struggle for the Leftists - they supposedly are the VOICE of women & minoritys, but if they DARE to speak out against one of their own...... they get a lot of pushback.

Sexual Harrassment is supposed to be a Right Winger thingy - it's exactly why they covered for Harvey Weinstein for decades .... he bought his way to continue.

Al Franken's bad luck that he got caught up in the " ME TOO" campaign, with photos.
Now this woman has to figure out a way to exonerate him.

Actors can kiss open mouth and not have to use tongue.

Again, that was a physical and sexual assault on his part.

I see that most of the people who support Trump and/or conservative positions here have joined feminists calling for Franken's head in this trivial kissing/comedic groping matter. Big mistake. Everyone, including women, loses if society moves toward SJW-style puritanism.

Obviously Fraken Franken was quickly forthcoming with the adequate payoff to Ms Tweeden.

I think that Stuart Smally should stay in the Senate; he's good for laughs.
He would just be replaced with a reliable lockstep Democrat vote anyway.
