row_33 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 so Big Al racked up almost a million hits on Twitter but couldn't trend against those compiling 1,811. The censorship is amazing, Lenin would be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think I saw something about this in another thread, but am putting it here too. And wow, #metoo has been around for two years!? New Yorker article: The Case of Al Franken NY Daily News article: Al Franken was pushed out of Senate by Chuck Schumer in secret bedside ultimatum Al Franken was forced to resign from the Senate by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who reportedly delivered a bedside “quit now” ultimatum to the ex-Saturday Night Live funny man in a secret meeting as sex harassment allegations mushroomed. Franken says Schumer refused to allow him to present his side of a damning photo that showed him fondling a female comedian’s breasts as well as several other allegations — and gave him just a few hours to resign, The New Yorker reported Monday. </snip> “I couldn’t believe it,” Franken said, according to the magazine. “I asked him for due process and he said no.” </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he be perfect for VP role in. Warren/Franken 4evA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Trivia Question: Which Senator asked the question, during Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing that forced the future Attorney General to recuse himself...and ultimately set the entire Witch Hunt in motion? Answer: Al Franken! (Who just a few weeks later was ousted from the Senate.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Former Sen. Al Franken’s Comeback Tour Immediately Interrupted With Another #MeToo Cancellation Notice Unfortunately for Franken, as soon as he launched his new program he was hit with another #MeToo allegation, this time from an unnamed former Sen. Patty Murray staffer who said he grabbed her behind in 2006: The woman, who asked for her name not to be used, is now a senior staffer at an unnamed progressive organization, and said the incident occurred in 2006 shortly after she graduated from college and was working for Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.). While being photographed with Franken, who was then still exploring his eventual 2008 run for Senate, the woman said he placed his hand on her buttocks. “He’s telling the photographer, ‘Take another one. I think I blinked. Take another one.’ And I’m just frozen. It’s so violating. And then he gives me a little squeeze on my buttock, and I am bright red. I don’t say anything at the time, but I felt deeply, deeply uncomfortable,” the woman told the publication. The woman told The Cut she did not tell anyone about the incident at the time out of embarrassment, but three people told the publication the woman talked to them about the alleged incident when the first allegations against Franken broke in late 2017, leading to his eventual resignation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
