Another woman came forward today alleging that Senator Al Franken groped her during a photo-op, and The View covered the news this morning.
There have been calls for Franken to resign since Leeann Tweeden spoke out last week, and there is going to be a Senate ethics committee investigation.
Joy Behar said, “If Franken has to resign, then Trump needs to resign.”
She pointed to the number of women who have spoken out against Trump and Sunny Hostin brought up that infamous Access Hollywood tape.

Cue the picture of Joy Behar and Robin Williams.
That is the logical response and the true reason that the libs are in a pickle about Franken. The facts are back-firing on them.
Behar needs Rehab.
The DNC hadn't sent her the new talking points.
Wonder if the New York Times reporter who mused about the possibility the 'right' was right all along about Clinton - has also discovered he's been 'played' by the DNC... ..
Just laugh in there faces.
I don’t want Al Franken to resign, either. I want him to stay in the U.S. Senate as a monument to Democrat standards for elected officials.
She’s just jealous that no one has groped her.
She’s just jealous that no one has groped her.
There is no photo of Trump abusing women against their will. There is of Franken.
With Trump he engages in big talk about women could let them grab their stuff.
One, it’s hypothetical.
Two, it’s based on someone LETTING them do it.
Tweeden didn’t LET. She was molested while sleeping. There’s a photo.
So she’s now saying she approves to Trump? Clown woman is illogical.
Agreed. He’s better there to shit up the war on women nonsense.
Joy, dearie, I can make empty demands as well.
It’s Monday, so Behar must quit.
Dear Leftist idiots: IF you were somehow able to force our incredible President to resign, millions of us mouth-breathing lovers of God, country and the 2A WILL BECOME the monsters you say we are.
I saw a picture where Al Had a hand on Joy’s chest area. Was it Photoshop?
Why? Who's mouth did he stick his tongue in? (without consent)
"In Tweeden’s account, published by the Los Angeles radio station KABC 790, Franken first assaulted her during the tour. Franken had written a comedy skit in which he would have to kiss her, and he insisted on rehearsing the skit backstage, despite her protests. Per Tweeden’s account:
He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.
I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time.
I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.
I felt disgusted and violated.
Tweeden wrote that she chose not to alert her supervisors of the incident, so as not to “cause trouble” while in the middle of a war zone, and ignored Franken for the remainder of the tour. It wasn’t until she returned home to L.A., she wrote, that she saw the photo, taken during the 36-hour flight from Afghanistan to L.A. “I felt violated all over again. Embarrassed. Belittled. Humiliated,” she wrote.
Every time I hear his voice or see his face, I am angry. I am angry that I did his stupid skit for the rest of that tour. I am angry that I didn’t call him out in front of everyone when I had the microphone in my hand every night after that. I wanted to. But I didn’t want to rock the boat. I was there to entertain the troops and make sure they forgot about where they were for a few hours. Someday, I thought to myself, I would tell my story.
Franken has already responded. Suffice it to say, this won’t cut it.

Hey, Joy! Why don’t YOU have any sexual harassment claims?................
IIRC, another thread has a pic of Al Frankenberries grabbing her headlights at some gala affair.
Al Franken grabbed a woman who was not willing.
