Breitbart; Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) spokesman announced that Franken would not resign despite allegations that he groped a woman’s breasts and kissed her without her consent.
“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 Minneapolis Star Tribune on Saturday.
Sexual harassment allegations against the Minnesota senator surfaced this week after Los Angeles-based journalist Leeann Tweeden accused Franken of fondling her breasts while she was sleeping and aggressively shoving his tongue down her throat. more

Al Franken Cut from PBS Letterman Special Following Groping Allegation.
Franken was set to appear in PBS’ airing of David Letterman: The Mark Twain PrizeMonday night, but now footage of the Minnesota lawmaker will reportedly be cut from the final broadcast.
The same Letterman who slept with interns in a room at the CBS studio? Can’t make this stuff up.
He won’t be reflecting on what a giant asshole he has always been because libs have no
self-awareness.
Resign, you repellant shitstain.
The dems will fight tooth and nail to keep this little bug from being ousted but he’s not going to be able to shake this off. They know how bad it looks attacking Judge Moore with the goofy jerk Frankin hanging over their heads.
stop2think – Exactly!!
I predict he’ll go from “spending time with family” and ” reflecting”, then to a 5-star Rehab facility (somewhere sunny & warm), and he still won’t resign his Senate seat.
Mr Turtle will do NOTHING to get rid of this guy, wait and see. Sure there maybe some hand wringing and Kabuki theater, but in the end, this turd stays.
That’s okay; I want this turd to stay. The “wimmen” attack vector can no longer be credibly used by the Democrats OR the GOPe.
Hang in there, Al; this too shall pass!!!
Word on the street is that a prominent Dem from CA is next on the harassment hot seat. Please let it be Adam Schiff. But in the meantime, Franken is waiting to see who gets accused next, and whether Mitch makes good on his threat to investigate Menendez. Keep your head down and pray for squirrels, Al.
I don’t want him to quit.
I want him to be eaten by hyenas on a junket to go see his Pal Mugabe

How UN-American! The United States Congress has solemnly declared that doing the sloppy-sloppy, with interns, in the office, is A-OK!

Why would McConnell launch an unnecessary attack against one of his own?
@ Lazlo, love the hyena bit.
Kinda weird that he’s not a fag/pedophile.
Something’s wrong. I’m beginning to believe this is a red herring.
The guy’s way too creepy just to like boobs. I like boobs, but I don’t do that.
Smells like dissimulation – or dried BULLSHIT.
izlamo delenda est …
Oh well, another lame Democrat attack on Trump goes up in smoke with Frankens refusal.
If you remember his comedian stand-up routines, you know what his mindset was before he was elected.
It feels like politicians’ families are just there to provide cover for situations like this.
Al has concerns that the Democratic Party still has one small scintilla of credibility left with a couple of normal white males, so he’ll be working to destroy that over the holidays
