Two more women have told HuffPost that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) touched their butts in separate incidents. These are the third and fourth such allegations against Franken in the past week. Leeann Tweeden, a radio host, wrote last week that Franken had kissed and groped her without her consent during a 2006 USO tour. On Monday, Lindsay Menz accused Franken of groping her at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010.

Nothing will happen to Franken.
It’s already old news.
What would happen if this was accused of Roy Moore?
Weasel words, Al! You can categorically say but you didn't categorically assure. You can directly and emphatically say anything you like!
From Congress in 2011, when he was caught the first time
“If feminists give a green light to Al Franken, they’re words are hollow if they accuse men of sexual assault.”
Exactly. The Dems are playing for keeps, we need to also.
So, I really don’t care what Franken did or may have done, as long as he stays in the Senate, the case against Moore has no legs (so to speak), SO KEEP FIGHTING AL...you’re needed just where you are!
I can also say you invited me into the bathroom with you.
My point isn't that he's telling the truth, my point is that it's impossible to know. Therefore, neither should be given much weight.
Believe me, I like seeing dems go down more than you know, but ... I hope this ends soon ... that is, that you can say whatever you want and it's treated as evidence. A very, very ... very very close person to me, someone who I have absolute reason to know is absolutely telling the truth and has never done this stuff, was once on the sharp end of a totally fake and anonymous accusation. It was pretty scary ... for that guy that I know :-)
This stuff is dangerous. it's fun until it's you and you're in fact 100% totally totally innocent of doing anything whatsoever. For the same reason we prefer to see guilty people walk than convict the innocent, this crap needs to stop soon, even if some guilty dems or other critters walk.
However, like everyone else, I'm eating popcorn ... but ... I eat it with reservation and believe the part where there is zero evidence has to end. Soon, it needs to be 'you should have spoken up immediately or created some sort of evidence when it happened, now it's too late.'
But again, the Clinton's set a standard in the country where reporting would do more harm than good in many cases, so ... I think there needs to be a short period of amnesty where we do err a little on the side of granting more credibility in the absence of evidence, but certainly not total credibility.
The days where you'd get Clinton'ed for reporting this are clearly now passed.
I DO believe Franken is guilty of a hell of a lot more than even what's been reported. That guy is a power hungry sociopath who clearly hates himself at a deep level, and probably would never be granted a chance to hold a butt if he didn't steal it.
I'm not perfect but that's not one of my imperfections.
End of rant.
Article says they are anonymous.
It’s anti-constitutional to support anonymous charges.
I’m no fan of Franken and a supporter of Moore, but fair is fair. I would not support anonymous charges against Moore ever.
I agree
Truly, it is a revelation. Served with schadenfreude sauce.

Did any of these women ever file a complaint ?
From what did Anthony Weiner resign?
I totally agree with you.
An accused person has the absolute right to face his accuser, and to be considered innocent until proven guilty. This goes for all - Republicans, Democrats, BLMers, KKKers - Christians, Jews, Muslims, White Supremacists, La Raza, and so forth and so on.
Equal justice before the law.
If we do not have that, we are no better than those deluded fools in Salem Massachusetts a couple of centuries ago. I presently doubt that we are, for we haven’t been eating fungus laden rye, messing up our minds.
Witch Trials, anyone?
Senator Al Franken and Wife Franni Pose With Son Joe and Vice
My thinking exactly!
She does look rather alarmed.
Thanks. You’re right, that was very rare for Dems.
