A spokesperson for Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) said the senator would not resign in the wake of an accusation he kissed and groped a woman without her consent, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Sunday.

“He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday, and he’s doing a lot of reflecting,” the spokesperson told the newspaper.

I don't think he should resign unless Trump also resign and Moore drops out of the Senate race.

Will you be the first to present photographic evidence of Moore or Trump groping someone? :)

follow up - must be against their will or when they are incapacitated :)

the reason that the accusations against Trump were discarded was the simple disclaimer "they'll let you"

the left seethed in outrage over the bawdy comments and looked foolish

Trump was bragging that his fame and fortune made women throw themselves at him; and the left twisted it into an "admission" of impropriety

people with common sense saw through it

Trump? While distasteful it was basically just locker room banter spoken in jest, no crime was committed, no admission of crimes were committed and "they let you" implies consent. No one can prove otherwise.

Moore? You've gone into depth about that on your own thread. I want Gloria Allred to produce the yearbook for analysis - my hunch is that it is forged.

Franken? Groped a woman without consent, touching her breasts. Made out with a woman without consent, with witnesses. We have photographic evidence. Of these three situations this is the only one that is obviously criminal. The left is blatantly hypocritical not calling for his head.

The "photographic evidence" doesn't show what you claim it shows. A man holding his hands in front of a sleeping woman's chest is not "groping". There must actually be physical contact for it to be proof of "groping". And that photo does not show groping.

You are an apologist for sexual assault.

Shame on you. Shame.

You have Moore being accused by 9 women of sexual improprieties, you have 16 women accusing Trump of sexual improprieties. And you disbelieve all of those accusers, but believe that Franken is guilty because of a photo that doesn't actually show anything other than his being a knucklehead and trying to be funny using adolescent level humor?

Get real.

if this was a court of law and these were cfriminal charges; the case would be thrown out just based on this - plenty of "reasonable doubt" has been created

but it is the court of public opinion

those that hate Moore for his politics are ready to hang him - same people that glorify Clinton that we KNOW has actually done worse than Moore has been accused of...

to be fair, it cuts both ways

we are living in a "witch hunt" society

do we really want to live in a society where someone gets hanged for trying to steal a kiss?

seriously - anyone?

if I try to kiss a girl and she says no - am I guilty of something whether I back off or not?

because that is where this is going

I haven't said anything about Franken's "guilt" or "innocence"

several of the women that have accused Moore have been substantially discredited; and the timing of the accusations is far too convenient

he dated younger women - so what?

eta - you are being such a hypocrite it is laughable

Trump & sophomoric remarks - admission of sexual impropriety

Franken - "adolescent humor"

and you tell ME to "get real"

:box:
let's go ahead and ban books written by EA Poe since he married his 15 year old cousin - right?

They don't give a rats ass about the victims - if it were the other way around and the left knew that destroying the lives of 12 women would result in an election win - they would absolutely do it. The thread you moved to MFAB explores this immoral hypocrisy.

This is simply a manifestation of their desperation - and I have said before: The play was to get Moore to step down and have Sessions take his place. Makes me think they are trying to get Sessions out of the way.

I wonder why?

On “SNL’s” “Weekend Update,” Franken also used inappropriate hand motions to describe President Ronald Reagan’s prostate

Great stuff. Classic. Al Franken is an American treasure.

Two second later his hands did arrive at their intended destination. You need to exercise more patience in such matters.

Were you there? Did you see this?

If not, you're just speculating. He could have just as easily backed up and dropped his hands to his side.
