We now have the 9th woman to accuse Democrat Al Franken of basically sexually assaulting them, including 3 other women who claim, as the new accuser apparently does, that Franken grabbed her ass, and gave it a “little squeeze”.
New Credible Accusation Against Al Franken Says He Grabbed Young Woman’s Ass & Gives it a ‘Little Squeeze’
I wonder how this will affect Al Franken’s attempt to get back in America’s good graces, as he has been crawling out from underneath his rock a bit more often lately, in a build-up to running for office again?
I doubt that will work out very well for Democrat sexual predator Al Franken.
A former Senate aide is alleging that former Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, who resigned in disgrace in January 2018, grabbed her buttocks without her consent in 2006.
“I was just out of college in my first job, working for U.S. Senator Patty Murray,” the unnamed woman told New York Magazine.
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 ass. 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.”
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. 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.
The woman said she cried when she first heard of other allegations against Franken.
“I really considered adding my voice,” she told the magazine, but said a bad experience with another boss kept her from coming forward. She also worried she’d never get another job. “I know that anything can be used as a flag to say, ‘Not this person.’ The idea that I would not get a job and would always wonder: Was it the article where I was the one who was raising my hand against a powerful man?” she said.
After allegations initially emerged, Franken at first denied that he’d done what the alleged victims said he’d done. “Some of the allegations against me are simply not true,” he said. “Others I remember very differently.”
But as more and more women came forward to make allegations, 36 Democratic senators agreed that Franken should resign. But after he did, Franken said he thought he would’ve been cleared at the conclusion of a planned Senate investigation. “I said at the outset that the Ethics Committee was the right venue for these allegations to be heard and investigated and evaluated on their merits. That I was prepared to cooperate fully and that I was confident in the outcome.”
