The photo provided makes it EXTREMELY clear that it was a staged photo meant as a joke...look carefully. There are shadows under his hands, indicating he wasn't actually touching her.
I was a Franken supporter and I even own a couple of his books. I am NOT OK with what's being alleged and I am not OK with that picture, even if he wasn't actually touching her.
Say like you were traveling for work with your boss and a few colleagues. You're all flying back home on the same plane and you fall asleep. While you're asleep, your boss mimics grabbing your boobs and someone takes a picture of it. He didn't touch you, but he still harassed you while you were asleep. Would you be OK with that?

I sure wouldn't be.
Nor I. I would not mind a bit if Mr. Franken resigned, the Governor appoints someone to his seat, call the special election, and let Mr. Franken run again; let his voters decide.

Entertainers are often traveling in tight quarters, they may even be housed in the same rooms on a tour, same bus, a group of men and women sleeping side by side. This woman felt safe sleeping with those guys around her, she trusted them.
I guess you haven't read his latest statement then.
How could he not admit it?!
He wrote a flowery statement (or a PR person did) because he was caught. Just like CK. They would say anything to try to save face. They were adult men when they did this, NOT kids. I don't like him bringing regret for his jokes into it - offensive, dirty jokes are not harassment. He overshot this one.

Franken seems sketchy, he should step down. Take your punishment like a man, don't divert blame, don't search for excuses.
I can at least respect that he didn't try to blame it on some "war on Jesus", while simultaneously saying "it didn't happen, he didn't remember if it happened, and if it did happen, he definitely had permission" or some other stupid crap like that.

He is calling for an ethics investigation, for himself.
