Al Franken Joins the Sexual Abuser Bandwagon

Prominent Republicans like and Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the predictable John McCain have made ears ring with their shrill proclamations that Roy Moore is unfit to be a Senator. They might be right. But what about current Senator and former professional clown Al Franken?

Franken (D., Minn.) has apologized after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman and later groping her while she was asleep in 2006, although he said he did not remember all of the events “in the same way.”

KABC anchor Leeann Tweeden posted her story on the radio station’s website on Thursday, writing that Franken aggressively kissed her without consent during a rehearsal for a skit for troops during a USO tour in the Middle East, which Franken headlined.

Unsurprisingly, the experience left her feeling “disgusted and violated.”

She also included a photograph of a smiling Franken grabbing her breasts while she slept on the flight home from the tour.

The photographic evidence is far more damning than the possibly forged autograph in Beverly Young Nelson’s yearbook. Yet I doubt this story will raise the ire of McConnell, Ryan, McCain, et al., because Franken is a far-left Democrat.
