    Seriously?

    I mean it. Seriously?

    He was taken down by his own actions and by his own party members. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I booed Kobe whenever he was introduced. He admitted raping that woman.

    New groping allegations surface ahead of Al Franken's appearance in Portland
    by Evan Schreiber

    Monday, September 30th 2019

    In a cover story published this week in New York Magazine, the article details stories of women and men who came forward about sexual abuse and harassment. The report also tells the previously untold account of a woman who says Franken groped her buttocks at an event in 2006.

    “I was just out of college in my first job, working for U.S. senator Patty Murray,” she told New York Magazine, talking about why she’s kept silent until now and why she still fears using her name. Franken was reportedly exploring a run for the Senate at the time. He ended up running for the senate seat in 2008. Franken, a Democrat, served as US senator from Minnesota from 2009 to 2018.

    The reporter granted Franken's latest accuser anonymity, according to author Irin Carmon.

    "The woman worked the photo line, and when it was her turn to be photographed with Franken, she said, 'he puts his hand on my a--,'" the New York Magazine article explains. "'He’s telling the photographer, ‘Take another one. I think I blinked. Take another one.’ And I’m just frozen. It’s so violating. And then he gives me a little squeeze on my buttock, and I am bright red. I don’t say anything at the time, but I felt deeply, deeply uncomfortable.'"

    Franken is hosting a weekly show on SiriusXM. He told New York Magazine, “Two years ago, I would have sworn that I’d never done anything to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but it’s clear that I must have been doing something. As I’ve said before, I feel terrible that anyone came away from an interaction with me feeling bad.”

    The event page promoting his Revolution Hall appearance makes no mention of the accusations against Franken that forced his regisnation. The website says, "As Franken said when he left the Senate, 'I may be giving up my seat, but not my voice.'"

    Although the New York Magazine report does not give the name of Franken's latest accuser, it explains she is a military veteran who is now a senior staffer at a major progressive organization. "She is the ninth woman to accuse Franken of inappropriate conduct and the fourth to say Franken grabbed her butt," the article explains. "New York also spoke to three individuals in whom she had confided after the first Franken accusations emerged; she says that she did not tell anyone about the incident after it happened out of embarrassment."

    Are you sure he didn't grab her pussy because if he did, well, then you'd have a real story.

    So let me get this right. You believe allegations against a democrat but allegations against trump are fake news. That pretty much makes you an admitted hypocrite doesn't it?

    News flash. Al Franken is no longer a politician but your boy is still the head swamp rat filling our country with vile and corruption.

    MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. IMPEACH TRUMP

    No Biden for you!!!

    Don't have time to read this whole thread just yet...NO EDITING PEOPLE. I need to know who the phonies are gonna be.

    These threads remind me of Chappelles Show..when keeping it real goes wrong, except this time it is virtue signaling.

    Winner!


    Co winner with Me and Dviss. I wasn't even on Dems side but I called it.....told you he shouldn't have resigned. My joke about switching parties was just a joke but even that was better than the corner Dems have painted themselves in.

    This is Too sweet
