Yes, it’s true. I was stalked and harassed by Al Franken. I will have details

Franken’s response:

“It was a joke.”



McConnell said Moore would not be seated due to unproven 38 year old allegations of sexual misconduct.

With Franken we have actual misconduct, with photographic evidence, much much more recently.

Therefore, Franken must be no longer be seated.

Must be true because gals don’t lie./sarc

Not defending Franken, but anyone who waits years - even DECADES later to cry rape or sex harassment etc needs to shut up and sit down.

Picture this: something bad happened to you...but if you know in your heart that if you say anything, even worse will happen to you and your family e.g. loss of jobs and no one will hire any of you.

What would you do? Sure, you want to say that you'll raise hell, that no one could stop you from exposing the politician who did it to you. That's really easy to say...when it's not you that it happened to, and when it's not you who would be risking losing your job (and, by extension, your house) if you speak up about something that you can't prove in a court of law. That's when the choices become much harder - especially if you're a woman facing the shame that women all-too-often do in small-town America, when people would turn their backs on you and yours if for no other reason than to keep from being targeted themselves. It's even worse when you're a teenage girl, knowing what you would face the very next day at school.

It's never too late to speak up - it's only too late for the statute of limitations.

Umm, her allegations have nothing to do with rape or sexual harassment. Her claim is that he was extremely rude and harassing her over an argument. Not saying it's ok, just pointing out that this isn't sexual in nature in any way.

Where is the citation for this? All I found was that tweet in the OP.

Yeah...and a triple murder and jaywalking are the same thing because they are both crimes.

That would be fine as far as I'm concerned. He's my Senator and I think you and I probably voted for him the same number of times.
 
Nothing sexual...just plain old creepy, angry nuttery.

“I made a statement about the budget numbers, Franken challenged me, I challenged him back. It was about spending priorities, actually just a mundane discussion. But he obsessed over it.”
After the show, Morgan said Franken wouldn’t leave her alone, insisting on continuing the argument.
“He approached me backstage, angrily called me out on those numbers and insisted he would prove he was right. He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.
“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.

And society has to treat as false accusation, if the evidence is thin as it should be. And if the accusation of rape is truthful, I find it revolting to have waited and left the perp to rape and rape again. That’s almost like being an accomplice.
