Dear CNN: Senator Franken Groped This Young Woman & Said This About Gays – Is That ‘NEWS?’
How many ‘oopsies’ does Franken have to make before we agree that’s just who he really is?
The press and the Left have made it pretty clear that there’s no statute of limitations on
Suddenly, Senator Stuart Smalley is finding out that gosh darn it… people DON’T really like him all that much. Maybe it’s because he’s NOT as good or smart as he claims.
In fact, for all the moral outrage SNL has dumped on Republicans over the years, the ONLY alumni that went on to a career in politics, is one the creepiest of them all.
There are now SEVERAL women making accusations against Franken.
This was the first story, the one that broke the dam:

That was accompanied by her account of Franken pulling her head to his, and forcing his tongue into her mouth while they were ‘practicing a kiss’ for a comedy bit overseas.
Notice who wrote that scene, and insisted they ‘practice’ the kiss.
“When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd,” she wrote.
Tweeden wrote that Franken insisted that they rehearse the kiss several times before the show, which she said made her “uncomfortable.”
“He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth,” she wrote.

After a TV interview, on ‘Politically Incorrect, August 2000’, where Melanie Morgan and Franken disagreed about government budget numbers, things got creepy following the program.
“He approached me backstage, angrily called me out on those numbers and insisted he would prove he was right. He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.
“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.
“He approached Carol, the show’s producer and demanded my home phone number, which was a clear violation of network protocol. I had thought that was the end of the story and was shocked when he started calling my home, badgering me repeatedly.
“I became fearful and called Carol to complain and asked her to tell him to back off. But he made another call after that. I thought that he might end up stalking me at my home in Northern California, it was that bad.
“By the third phone call I was outraged and terrified, as he is really disturbed,” Morgan recounted.
Morgan said Franken finally left her alone, but only after she pushed back and threatened “to call the police and make a report that he was harassing me.”
To this day, she says she is haunted by it: “I never forgot that experience and it informed me of his lack of character and obsessive personality. I believe every word Leann wrote.”

She has publicly stated her willingness to go on record if there is an inquiry into Senator Franken.
There is ALSO a photo of Franken grabbing Joy Behar by the breast at a Comedy Central roast for Rob Reimer. (But Whoopi would be quick to tell you it’s “not rape-rape“.)
And now we are looking back over his career. Since it seems common consensus that there is no statute of limitations for the things you’ve said or done in the past coming back to bite you, there are a couple of key issues that will make his ‘bad news’ story even worse.
He gave a address to Harvard, in which he said the following:
He recalled writing a skit called “Seamen on Broadway” that was rejected from the Hasty Pudding show “by some preppie so they could take some other preppie’s skit.” Franken started to smile again, but his tone was serious, too serious. “It’s not preppies, cause I’m a preppie myself. I just don’t like homosexuals. If you ask me, they’re all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.” The smile became so broad it pushed his eyes shut. He couldn’t stand it any longer. “Put that in, put that in,” Franken laughed, leaning over the desk. “I’d love to see that in The Crimson.”

Thanks, Al. They did put it in The Crimson.
And a little window into what Franken finds funny? — Remember, we have been solemnly told by CNN (etcetera) that old news is just as damaging as NEW news.
During the meeting, writers are brainstorming about how to develop a sketch in which one of the actors plays “60 Minutes” commentator Andy Rooney, who finds an empty pill bottle in his desk.
According to the article, Franken’s suggestion includes Rooney saying: “I give the pills to Leslie Stahl. Then when Leslie is passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her. Or ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February. Or, ‘When she passes out. I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.’ ”

It’s almost like there is a pattern forming, of a certain attitude toward women. A window into who he really is.
And for once Hollywood is showing itself to have greater integrity than some of the Press.
The “Late Show” host was utterly unsatisfied by the senator’s initial apology to Leeann Tweeden, who said Mr. Franken kissed her without consent and posed for a photograph groping her as she slept. Mr. Franken said the photo was meant to be funny.
“O.K., ‘intended to be funny but wasn’t?’ No. Your movie ‘Stuart Saves His Family’ was intended to be funny but wasn’t. That photo was intended to embarrass her — that’s why he did it while she was asleep. Nobody goes up to their buddy when he’s awake and says, ‘Hey, can I draw a penis on your forehead?’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
And he wasn’t impressed by Mr. Franken’s follow-up statement.
“Franken later released a more complete apology, in which he said, ‘I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate.’ Well, that’s nice. It would be wrong if an ethics investigation was done without his consent.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

When your’e a Democrat, and you’ve lost Alyssa Milano…? It’s over.
Zero tolerance. If we don’t hold all accountable for horrible behavior — nothing changes. Sorry, @SenAlFranken you should not be in a position to represent the female constituents in your state. https://t.co/MrJi7QKCu1

Think this is just a partisan thing?
Stop it! I’m a liberal & know both of them & i believe @LeeannTweeden 100%. She’s a great mom & woman. @alfranken needs to own this right now or get out. https://t.co/xnZpPxCS5A

One thing that increasingly unites men and women? We can both agree that Liberals are losing their ever-loving minds. Now there’s a shirt that says just that.
Conveniently available in Both Ladies…
AND Men’s versions.
Either Liberals just don’t get it, or they are sick in the head. Probably both. Think about it: They want to have all of the blessings that come with living in a capitalist society such as modern medicine and technology. But they believe in socialism, which stifles innovation and progress.
They want to be protected by the police and the military, but they attack and criticize the men and women who protect us. They call conservatives “racists,” but it’s their own identity politics that have created race problems in the first place. After all, Democrats were the party of slavery!
They attack hunters, but have no problem wearing leather shoes or owning cars with leather upholstery! And of course, they believe guns kill people. Not the people that pull the trigger.
Well, here’s a shirt that sums it perfectly. Liberalism is a… MENTAL DISORDER.
And the best part? This shirt is made in the USA, printed in the USA, on an American-Made t-shirt press!
