Sorry if someone posted this reply already, but ive long known him as a great Senator who is one of the few asking tough questions:
Grabbing at a woman's breasts while she sleeping is nothing more than poor taste?


Shoving your tongue down someone's throat in a scripted pretend kiss is nothing more than poor taste?


This guy is someone you admire?


OK, then.

Is this just a statement? Do you think he’s a pervert and should resign?

You can't honestly be defending Al Franken? Cupping your hands over a woman's breasts while she's sleeping and taking a picture of it might be a joke to you and Al, but it clearly wasn't funny to the victim.

Legally, he probably doesn't need to resign. Ethically, he should. Doing so would make a statement that legitimizes the seriousness of sexual harassment, whether others accused of worse resign or not.

So what? If you like someone's politics, then they get a free pass for sexual misconduct? Strange moral compass you have.

I searched for and found her pictures online and all I could think was, "Franken, you should have tried a lot more self control, you poor weak creature."

I actually liked him on SNL back in the day and don't like him as a Senator but he should not resign for something he did so many years ago and is only an accusation. The question is why these women are bringing up these cases so many years later. Most of them are lying anyway.
