Senator Al Franken has been accused of a sexual assault that involved him forcibly kissing model and sports broadcaster Leeann Tweeden, then groping her while she slept as a way to humiliate her.
The photographic evidence speaks for itself …
Breaking: @LeeannTweeden, the morning anchor of KABC radio, says Senator Al Franken kissed and groped her without her consent. https://t.co/yNoQhZVNFJ

Franken will no doubt use his comedy career as a means to justify his actions. He even issued a statement saying as much.
“As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t,” Franken said. “I shouldn’t have done it.”
Sexual assault has always been a source of comedy for the Minnesota Democrat, having used the topic multiple times throughout his career.
One skit that Franken pitched for Saturday Night Live involved having a character playing Andy Rooney drug and rape a woman. It even involves doing things to the woman while she’s passed out.
“When she passes out, I put her in various positions and take pictures of her,” Franken suggested. That sounds nearly identical to what Franken did with Tweeden.

Franken also recently had footage resurface of him telling baby rape jokes at a 2000 Comedy Central roast of Hollywood director Rob Reiner.
Baby rape jokes. I’m horrified even typing that.
Conservative author Ann Coulter called him out on social media over the “jokes.”
At Rob Reiner roast in 2000, Al Franken did an extended comedy bit @ Reiner anally raping his infant children. He is currently a US senator.

You may, if you’re so inclined, watch the vile comedian at work below …

It seems pretty clear that his colleagues need to demand a resignation, and Franken should step down without issue based on these new allegations.
I believe Sen. Al Franken’s accuser and her allegations.
Franken should step down as Minnesota Senator immediately #RealTalk #WayneDupree

It doesn’t matter if you’re in Hollywood and get to pretend to be other people as a career. It doesn’t matter if you’re a comedian. It is never okay to grab a woman while she is sleeping. And it’s never okay to joke about the things above that Franken seems to find funny.

Right, with that sort of humor, he should be writing for Rush.
It’s hilarious that sanctimonious leech was lecturing Republicans on respecting women, yet, he chose to humiliating a woman and this sophomoric moron is writing jokes about raping women, in particular Leslie Stahl and trying to figure out how to make a machine that gives blowjobs and swallows. Image what would happen if the machine malfunctioned. Now, that might actually be funny..
Oh yes, You would have to be fool not to see that Franken likes to
do the right thing. Well, that must be only when the SHTF.. Can’t Minni’s find a state office for him, instead of foisting him on the entire country?
You neglected to mention that the Democratic junior Senator from Minnesota has called for the Senate to run a full ethics investigation of Senator Al Franken on this issue.
Oh, BTW, the junior senator IS Senator Al Franken. He called for an ethics investigation on himself. Why? Because it is the right thing to do under the circumstances, and doing the right thing is important to him.
Don’t worry. The liberals in Minnesota will elect him again. He could be a mass murderer but as long as he has a ”’D” after his name, it doesn’t matter what crimes he commits. Look how close the criminal Hillary came to becoming president.
A very disturbing person. And very disturbing that we have people like this in high office.
Douglas is a disgrace to the uniform, that is if it is really him in the aviator.
Trump has NEVER apologized for anything in his life. When asked how anyone could go their whole life without anything to apologize for he said he’s never had anything he had to apologize for. The only two people on Earth who have never apologized are Jesus and Charlie Manson. After years of lying about Obama citizenship he finally admitted he lied but he didn’t apologize for harassing the Commander in Chief. He then claimed HRC was responsible and he was doing Obama a favor for proving his birth place and he should be thanked !!!
Douglas, you copy and paste well but you don’t research well. Obviously you believe anything uttered by the left. Donald Trump DID say those words, but they were only words and he apologized both to his wife and the general public. Have you never heard the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? I do hope that your avatar is a fake as not too many people would feel very safe with someone like you protecting them.
What is just as disturbing as the joke (?) is the fact that Rob Reiner is laughing at the joke (?). I wonder if Carl Reiner would find the humor in this. I would hope not. It seems that most democrats tend to dismiss this type of behavior while condemning the same behavior in republicans. They are so two faced about the whole thing.
….brain-dead – a common affliction of indoctrinated fascists masquerading as normal human beings, usually brought on by keeping their heads too far up the anal passages of members of the soroscrat sewer…usually resulting in complete disassociation with reality and truth…
Alzheimer’s ….a common form of dementia, believed to be caused by changes in the brain, usually beginning in late middle age, characterized by memory lapses, confusion, emotional instability, and progressive loss of mental ability. You have all the symptoms.
Douglas…Are you a friend of Bowe Bergdahl? Andrew Johnson was a DemonRat, Clinton was a perverted pedophile and rapist a DemonRat…both impeached! Obumma and Clinton are traitors, which sold uranium to our enemy…Russia, for personal profit, which will be brought up on charges. You sure know how to pick your friends…COMMIE!! And now you protect sexual assault…and you compare that to locker room talk!! You are the one that is sick and perverted!! TRUMP was invited into the Forbidden City, in China…While Obumma had to use the servant’s entrance to depart the plane…with no one to meet him. He is a DISGRACE, as is FRANKEN-STIEN, as are you!!
It would seem that Franken has always been ranken.
No way Franken keeps his job , ethics investigation my ass he needs to step down immediately .
His old writing partner Tom Davis is funnier. And he’s dead.
Can’t impeach a sitting senator, but you can sure as hell expel him.
Sick and ugly pervert Franken is , Impeach that Idiot,,,,,
what comedy career???
I have NEVER liked Franken orhis “jokes”! He is a jerk who uses so called satirical humor as an excuse to act and talk badly. Ok to act and talk like jerk and jacka$$ he really is. I live in MN and did NOT vote for him actually worked against him. He, with help, stole the election victory from Norm Coleman. The Democrats had to get that 60th vote in the Senate to have a super majority to get Obamacare passed. The rules that went bent and broken were amazing. Just one example are the ballots ‘found in the trunk’ of a car just in time to be counted in the recount. It still makes me incredibly angry that the result of the election was changed by over 3000 votes; Coleman had about a 3000 vote lead until the recount gave Franken about a 300 vote win. There were over 17,000 same day registrant addresses that were bogus. As I said, it still makes me angry (I am understating and being nice).
I watched Frankin interogate Sessions. He twisted things and turned them into something they were not and hated giving him time to respond. He love every moment of his phoney allogations. He is just another California Dumocrat that lives in his own bubble. Didnt like him even before he was exposed. …. Seriously, what are the politicians looking for..?? Jesus Christ ??… They will definately NOT find him in ANY position in the White House. STOP THE BS and get down to working for the people !! THATS WHAT YOU WERE HIRED TO DO !! If it were NOT for Pres. Trump, nothing would EVER get done.
Anyone being investigated by the FBI is not qualified to be President of the US.
Are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence?
…isn’t it an offense to impersonate a real American in a uniform…take that avatar and replace it with you in your pajamas, picking your 14yr old nose…
Truth? http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a13724944/trump-false-claims-through-nine-months-in-office/?src=nl&mag=esq&list=nl_enl_news&date=111517
More than a dozen women came forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.
“All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”
He hasn’t sued any….he knows he would have to take the stand
under oath. We all know what happens when he talks….1,628
lies….
BTW….boot camp pic from 1971
Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”
Bush: “Whatever you want.”
Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
You are the one who needs help since you cannot distinguish between the truth or the echo chamber in your head. You are one of the panty wads they recruit in the military these days. The new liberal tranny. homo, pussies. You can be in trouble for showing your uniform and then bad mouthing the President.PS. Take off that uniform you POS you have no business wearing it!
Douglas,
Trump said he “could”. Not that he “did”. Bill Clinton “did”.
The Truth is painful.
Douglas, you are a disgrace to your uniform. Take your troll BS back to Huff and Puff, they love your type there.

Trump is a sick pervert who has no business being in any political office. He. Needs serious psychiatric help for his sick demented psyche. Grabbing women by the pussy is no joking matter.
Al Franken is a sick pervert who has no business being in any political office. He. Needs serious psychiatric help for his sick demented psyche.

I have never listened to Franken’s so called jokes and never saw him on SNL because I can rarely stay up that late. Sexual perversions are not jokes. If the man was smart enough to be a real senator
he would not tell jokes like this and I can not understand Reiner and some of the audience laughing at this trash
After almost 50 years, I am now speaking out. In 1968 Arthur Davies Woolaway tried to rape me in Maui on a business trip. I woke up with a sweaty PIG lying on top of me. He had unlocked the door connecting our rooms somehow. I told him he would have to kill me if he touched me because I would shout it at the top of a mountain what he had done. He left. I was 25 years old and afraid. I only wish I had found courage to come forth much, much earlier. There! I did it! This behavior is nothing new with men.

POTUS said it all about this creep….
Women the Capital Building beware of this monster !
Make him take anti-joke med’s everyday…then fire his but…
…”hiring Russian hookers”….is/was a figment of a fascistcrat’s demented psyche…only a ‘crat would invent a fantasy like that…and only idiots…you among them…would believe it…
Grabbing Pussy is just youthful (59 yrs old) locker room talk. Hiring Russian hookers to make a Golden Shower tape is like snapping towels in the locker room. Going into early teen age dressing rooms is part of the job of Pageant owner and is not creepy but very Presidential.

This kind of discourse is simply NOT funny. People who find humor in this sick, sordid and twisted stuff are all mentally impaired!
So, Private, you have been longing for the Hildebeast to be your commander in chief for these past twelve months? You are probably the only one in your unit who feels that way. The rest of us, active and retired (me, a 30-year Air Force Command Pilot) totally understand why President Trump is our nation’s salvation in his determination to rebuild the eviscerated (do you know the meaning of that word?) military, left behind by his predecessor; that would be the African-Muslim
spy who sneaked into the White House and pretended to be an American. BTW, you don’t still
wear your Marine uniform while you work for the Post Office, do you?

Groping a woman without her consent is a joke? Maybe that’s funny in Minnesota, but no where else.
It’s amazing that people voted for this creep for President. When Al delivers the 67th vote which will indict and remove he can say “Grab this Pussy”.
Groping a woman without her consent is a joke? Maybe that’s funny in Minnesota, but no where else.

But he’s a lib, so exceptions will be made. Cant we all just get along?
My biggest shock here is that it was a woman he was groping.
Rob Reiner sat and laughed because he is an alt left Democrat

How in the world could Reiner sit there and laugh at those horrible jokes? I would have got up and walked out.
