Sen. Al Franken, the Minnesota Democrat accused of kissing and groping a radio personality in 2006, won't resign, a spokesperson said
Instead the embattled senator will spend his Thanksgiving holiday in Washington, D.C., where he'll be 'doing a lot of reflecting'
On Thursday radio talk host Leeann Tweeden came forward and shared how Franken grabbed her breasts without her permission while she was asleep
He also said he stuck his tongue down her throat as he tried to kiss her as part of a USO show
Franken apologized Thursday and Tweeden accepted the apology, saying she didn't wish for him to step down
A spokesperson for Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that 'no' the embattled senator would not resign over allegations that he fondled and kissed a woman without her permission 11 years ago.
'He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday,' the aide told the newspaper. 'And he's doing a lot of reflecting.'

Maybe he should check into rehab while he’s at it.
What does Mrs Al Franken have to say ? I know he was 55 married father of two when this incident happened 10 years ago is he still married?
Al could try gargling with peanut butter.
If his spokesman has to make that kind of statement then you know the pressure for just the opposite is getting heavy.
GOOD! As long as he’s there, Roy Moore’s victory is assured.
I didn’t think vampires could see their own reflection?
Who would want this slime ball?
One wonders, might Mister Franken be reflecting on the possibility that other women might come forth with stories of sexual abuse?
I think they must be pushing hard for ellison
Democrats never resign. For them this is a resume enhancer.
That’s how I see it...hypocrisy, thy name is Franken.
From the images of Tweeden, she is a good looking woman, but from her dress (or undress) in the images, it seems she wouldn’t care that he touched and tongued her...
Franken is a fun house full of mirrors for (distorted) reflection.
Maybe he should visit Harvey there in rehab for the w/e.
Agree, and not only that, but he will continue to be here for the very few brave Republicans to kick around.
They ARE, and once one stinkin’ muslim gets into the Senate, they’ll be three more within two cycles. Notice how quick ValJar jumped on Al.
He should resign December 13th.
He will be gone in 30 days or less.
L
He should reflect on seppuku.
However, he soooo does fit the image of a senator.
Fat, stupid, repulsive , immoral, and thoroughly deserving of the guillotine.
