[Captain Obvious]

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.

oh, bullsh!t..................the only thing he regrets is getting caught

[Private Pickle]

Well Kevin Spacey just got vindicated so he is all bummed. Problem with his case is that he has pictures of himself grabbing a sleeping woman's breast. Kinda tough to explain your way out of that one.

P.S. Why was he even an elected official in the first place? $#@!ing America....

He wasn't even a Senator at the time, he was a comedian. And he didn't touch her, he acted like he was.

He was sacrificed on the full of shiit altar of the MeToo movement who some have been claiming is quite fake for some time. The MeToo movement born from endeavors of the likes of Weinstein who this forum never even addresses anymore.....because he's being vindicated too.

Much of this was too much to do about absolutely nothing. The MeTooers not doing themselves any favors during the Kavanaugh hearings, standing up in the halls of Congress and yelling their trash like it was relevant. People see them for who they are. Extremist idiots, the biggest Dr. Ford who was coached and manipulated...and now thrown away like debris by the Democrats.

No, she hasn't. She should have been brought up on charges of lying to Congress and jailed

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

Pics told the story. Franken was a creepy old dude for his antics. He was a $#@! to resign over it. Probably a beta boy.
