My gut feel says "but I want to get into show bidness" and this is great publicity, being pretend groped by Al Franken.

But please let's have a Senate investigation now.
While the investigation is going on every GOP politician will be on notice and they better be clean or come clean and resign.
Is Sen Franken's offer an intended challenge to the pussy grabber in chief?

My guess is that the challenge is directed against Prowling for Teens Moore.
I am beginning to enjoy the Trump presidency, one of theirs is always pissing on their parade such as the Tax bill now.

Here’s how a decent person like Franken responds...

As was Trump when he made his "pussy grab" comment. So, I guess you're suggesting that Franken should be excused for making unwelcome physical contact with Tweeden because, at the time, he was "an entertainer"? All Trump did was make a boorish comment during what he thought was a private conversation with Billy Bush. But that's not similarly excusable? I see.

So, Franken was just pretending to touch her breasts while she was sleeping? And that's OK in your world?

I thing the bar hit the floor when a previous WH occupant abused an intern and then went on national TV and lied about it, and also perjured himself.

Having consensual sex with an adult (even while married to someone else) is very different than sexual assault.
You should know that.

The difference here is this. Franken has apologized and asked for an investigation. Moore on the other hand is denying it ever happened and Trump is claiming that all the women lied. Curious as to how many lawsuits are pending against Trump.

In the end Franken is not going to get a free pass from the Dem Party like Moore & Trump are getting from the GOP.

And let's not forget that you among other others elected an acknowledged pussy grabber to the highest office in the nation. So making an issue of Franken is creating a distraction from a real problem which is Moore and his election and a weak case of whataboutism.

Of course he knows that, but, being completely amoral like his Dear Leader, he cares only about scoring “points” rhetorically. He’s an asswipe, just like his hero Donny.

My fear is with all of the recent revelations of Men Behaving Badly in the politest terms imagined. That it will numb and then lesson any in the future by becoming accepted as common place. Will be just one more and cloud the issues of the mistreatment of others.

Some of the many women sexually assaulted by the abuser in chief. There’s absolutely no doubt who should resign here. He belongs behind bars.
