    President Trump injected himself into the national debate over sexual harassment again, a risky move that opens the president up to charges of hypocrisy over his past behavior and his reluctance to rebuke Republicans who have been accused of misconduct.

    Trump went after Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), after a woman accused the senator of forcibly kissing and groping her.

    The woman, a radio host named Leeann Tweeden, released a photo of Franken leering into the camera with his hands over her chest while she slept during a 2006 USO trip. Trump responded over Twitter, saying the picture “speaks a thousand words” and ripping Franken for “lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women.”

    “The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words,” Trump tweeted. “Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps?”
