Al Franken is about to give new meaning to the word “twofer.”
The Minnesota senator just added two new victims to his tally sheet of victims, making a grand total of six.
Just this morning, we heard from an Army veteran that Franken, ever the jokester, tried to cup her breast during a photo while he was on a USO Tour. That was bad enough. But now another woman has emerged, accusing of Franken of similar behavior.
The feminist site Jezebel reports:
A former elected official in New England who has requested anonymity tells Jezebel that Al Franken attempted to give her a “wet, open-mouthed kiss” onstage at an event in 2006, shortly before he ran for Senate. The woman says the encounter left her “stunned and incredulous.”
Anonymous or not, there is an emerging pattern here. It would seem that Franken has a thing for lusting after women physically when they are off-guard or distracted. From the accounts we’ve seen so far, Franken often does this to women who try to have their pictures taken with him, or when they’re onstage and feel pressured to play along.
This is predatory behavior, plain and simple. Franken gets these women trapped in vulnerable moments, then lets his hands, or in this case, lips, go wild.
Here are more details from the latest report:
According to the woman’s account, she was working as the chair of her town’s Selectboard in 2006 when Franken, who was then a host for the progressive radio station Air America, came to her community. The woman was invited to appear as a guest in a live taping of his show and be interviewed in a theater in front of a large audience. Jezebel has independently confirmed that she appeared on the show.
After the interview, the woman tells us, “I reached out my hand to shake his.” Then, she says, “He took it and leaned toward me with his mouth open. I turned my head away from him and he landed a wet, open-mouthed kiss awkwardly on my cheek.”
So far, Franken has refused to resign from his post. We’ll see if that changes now.
