I guess he figured since metoo has been mostly fraudulent he could have been a creeper without consequences had he played his cards differently.

Former US Senator Al Franken has said he "absolutely" regrets resigning from his post in 2017 following a wave of accusations of sexual misconduct.

The Minnesota Democrat stepped down just three weeks after allegations of unwanted touching first surfaced, amid mounting pressure from colleagues.

Mr Franken told The New Yorker he wished his case had first been examined by the Senate Ethics Committee.

Now, seven of the 36 Democrats who demanded he resign say they regret it.

Mr Franken's hastened resignation came after Los Angeles radio host Leeann Tweeden claimed the former Saturday Night Live comic "aggressively" kissed her while they rehearsed a scene during a 2006 tour to entertain US troops in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

LOL

Not as good as Bernie exploiting his workers, but pretty good.

Tweeden is a rwnj jerkoff fantasy/talk show host.

She lied her ass off, and Franken paid the price.

They mic dropped you.


That said, too bad it happened to a complete hack. Never had an original thought in his life. Just went along and constantly lied about stuff. Name one thing this loser ever did.

Glad he is gone.

At the time I said he should not have resigned over the scandal. Not sure why he pussed out.

I'm sure if he had broke the story himself, and sought redemption....but he came out after the fact. It wasn't the first complaint about baby Al.
Or
Hadn't done it to begin with..............jus' damn and LOL ...........................

Gillibrand the Great took him out using some political capital. I love watching the very things they use on every opponent be turned in them. Nancy just got her taste of it recently.

“Coffee is the best drink”, said AOC. Nancy says, “no your wrong milk is the better drink”.

AOC: “You can’t question what I said about drinks, I am a woman of color!”


NEWS FLASH, it’s only going to get worse dem party. They will come after everyone one of you until you are voting republican in retirement.

If Franken's situation would have been exposed today, it would be no big deal.

Seriously?
