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.

They have rehab for titty-grabbing now?

The Subway Groper

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] Do you think that this former TV funnyman only groped one woman?

Ha ha ha!

No.

If he has the gall to claim that this was an isolated experience – and that he really respects women – he’s going to have to prepare himself for the fact that there may be multiple women coming forward to detail their disgusting experiences with this perv.

He used to ride the subway in New York City for a couple of decades. If you were an attractive woman, he would sit next to you, introduce himself by his TV gig, and try to pick you up. If you tried to ignore him or were dismissive of him… he would grope you.

Perhaps he thought that being on TV and being famous gave him license to grab women’s private parts and get away with it.

However, if you asked any of these women to vote whether or not grabbing their private parts was funny, we doubt a single one of them would vote “Yes.”

No, the guy would hurt real bad if he did anything like that to one of my daughters, but they wouldn’t pose like she did in her images...

Evidently, you’d have no problem with yours posing like her...

And that will involve looking at his privates in a mirror!

“Who would want this slime ball?”

Answer: The worthless voters in Minneeesowta! They’ve given this country such a long, long list of criminals and sex deviates. Even with Paul Ryan, Wisconsin can’t equal what Minneeesowta has provided.

“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...”

Now that’s really a dumb statement in view of he fact that by what she’s done, it’s pretty clear she didn’t like either act! She’s destroyed him with one picture, and yet you say “she wouldn’t care?”

I think they must be pushing hard for Ellison

Wouldn't that be like throwing gasoline on the fire?

On the one hand, you a Democrat party that lurched to the left under Obama, that would be taken off the cliff with Ellison in the Senate and Perez at the DNC. It would be fun to watch how Schumer and Ellison get along, with Pelosi and Hoyer in the House and Hillary Clinton stalking outside.

On the other hand, we have Franken being replaced over sexual abuses by a Muslim whose religion advocates treating women better? That would open up the Senate to so many future charges that it boggles the mind to contemplate.

Bring it on!
