Two prominent Minnesota Democrats call on Al Franken to resign
RESIGN NOW!
He gave a half azzed apology AFTER he got caught.
He didn't even mention he stalked another woman. Maybe he'll apologize to her tomorrow eh?

Seems like an impromptu fratboy gag by Franken to me. Who cares? Getting all hot and bothered over this really trivializes true female victims of sexual assault in my opinion.
The problem is the right wing's continued use of double standards all-the-while proclaiming themselves to be moral guarantors of society.

Woman who accused Franken says she accepts his apology
Woman who accused Franken says she accepts his apology | TheHill
The woman who accused Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) of sexual misconduct said Thursday she accepts his apology.
"The apology, sure I accept it, yes. People make mistakes and of course he knew he made a mistake," Leeann Tweeden said. "So yes I do accept that apology. There's no reason why I shouldn't accept his apology."
She said it's up to Congress to decide if it wants to have an ethics investigation into Franken's behavior, adding that she isn’t calling for Franken to step down, unless more women come forward.
“People make mistakes. I’m not calling for him to step down. That’s not my place to say that,” Tweeden said.
She said she wasn't "looking for anything" when she shared her story.
Tweeden published a piece Thursday accusing Franken of kissing and groping her without her consent.
The incident — which she said happened in December 2006 — happened when the two were on a USO tour together. She said Franken groped her when she was asleep and provided a photo.
She added that she saw Franken a couple of years after the incident occurred, at a USO gala. She said Franken found her in a room at the event and she was "very cold to him."
"He had a chance to apologize to me then, because he knew — he knew exactly what he did to me then and that picture was out there," she said.
Franken issued an initial apology on Thursday morning. He later released another statement in which he called for an ethics investigation into his own behavior.
His call for an investigation came after several other lawmakers had called for an ethics investigation into the allegations.
Tweeden said Thursday that she was afraid to speak out when the incident happened out of fear of losing her job, explaining why she decided to come out with the allegations now.
She said Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) inspired her to come forward with her story. The congresswoman earlier this month shared her own experience of sexual harassment, describing an instance when a chief of staff forcibly kissed her when she was a congressional staffer.
“2017 is not 2006,” Tweeden said. “Maybe I can be somebody’s Jackie Speier and they can tell their story in real time and not wait.”
No doubt the result of Franken's honesty and confession.
Thus, CASE CLOSED.
Now let's see Trump and the rest of the Republicans fess up as well. That is, if they have any integrity at all.

I noticed that ES really cares about sexual infringement when it has to do with Democrats and doesn't really seem that interested when it has to do with Republicans.
Just something I noticed.
Probably just a coincidence.
Yea... totally just a coincidence.

Not only that, Franken was not in politics at that time as this was 2006 - he ran for the senate in 2008 when he defeated Norm Coleman. He was a comedian and the photo which Eagle loves so much is said by democratic underground to have been posed:

''Photographer:he was playing dead and SHE wanted him to ‘revive’ her. I took the picture it was a funny moment everyone was smiling having a good time''
I don't know if this is true but that's what Congressional inquiries are for.

Last I heard on the radio his accusers have been discredited

Exclusive: Former Joe Biden Secret Service Agent: We Had to Protect Women From Him, ‘Weinstein Level Stuff’
A lot of the family members involved in these awkward moments don't know how to respond to Joe Biden preying on their young female relatives. Jeff Sessions, however, knows exactly what to do. Watch as he swats Biden's hand from touching his granddaughter. Wonder why he'd do that?

You have to wonder about the Franken case. It seems like a setup as he has said the following which puts pressure on those who would proceed with an ethics investigation on him to have one on everyone else accused, including the Donald......

The FRANKLIN Cover up
Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Toronto, Canada.
At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who ordered all copies destroyed.
A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by its participants involved.

The year book thing ( THE EVIDENCE ) with Moore has turned out to be a forgery.

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone appeared to know there were sexual misconduct allegations involving Sen. Al Franken(D-Minn.) hours before they became public.
Stone has been banned from Twitter, but at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning an account connected to him tweeted a quote from the Republican political operative.
"Roger Stone says it's Al Franken's 'time in the barrel'. Franken next in long list of Democrats to be accused of 'grabby' behavior," read the tweet from Enter the Stone Zone.

I wonder when ES and the rest will realize that the solution is to have no men in politics. So ES should have supported Hillary.

Al Franken is an arsehole.
Really? You couldn't tell?
And....another bulletin: modeling for Playboy does not indicate permission for every arsehole in the world to shove his tongue in your mouth and grab your breasts.......except in their imagination.

Seems like the DEM's are the ones with the double standard. I seem to recall a proverb about people in glass houses and stones.
I think he's just upset that Franken didn't grab her by the pussy like he was supposed to.
