Are we in for another dimly lit press statement about how he’s going to spend the holidays “reflecting”?
BREAKING: Former Dem congressional aide says Sen. Al Franken forcibly tried to kiss her after a taping of his radio show in 2006

"It’s my right as an entertainer," the woman says Franken told her as she quickly left the radio studio.
Franken denies all of the allegations. https://t.co/u9WfqwsyBP

What number of accusers are we up to now?
This is the seventh woman to accuse Sen. Franken of sexual misconduct. https://t.co/kLzJkXB25q

But this is one allegation Franken’s fully denying:
Franken: “This allegation is categorically not true and the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous. I look forward to fully cooperating with the ongoing ethics committee investigation.” https://t.co/nkR9Z2EIBY

Franken has previously claimed that he recalls events differently than many of the women have described them.

And just like that, Franken is suddenly a big fan of Betsy Devos https://t.co/uyeVpY3e8c

Franken last few weeks: "I don't remember it that way."
Franken today: "She's lying!"
Franken next week, presumably: "Bitch set me up" https://t.co/v8mR3Rk4dZ

The Democrat narrative on the issue of harassment/assault allegations appears to have exceptions for select individuals:
Sorry, all women must be believed. Liberals told me this https://t.co/3hCCc3Uuvq

What happened to "Believe women?" https://t.co/yxhoANzIzl

Meanwhile, calls for Franken to resign are increasing (except from certain Democrats).
"Two former colleagues of the woman independently corroborated her version of events, including Franken telling her he had the right to try to kiss her because he was “an entertainer.”"
Franken denies. Who are you going to believe at this point? https://t.co/4Uz3vC1LqT

That's what? Three women who allege he forcibly kissed or tried to kiss them. And the ass grabbing allegations. https://t.co/8xoIZnSQlR

So when @SenFranken promised to do better did he mean he'd actually start landing these kisses? #ResignAl https://t.co/6rahgIlY7A

He's got to go. Should've been gone already. https://t.co/naqJO4opEE

Doesn't matter how many women come forward.
He is going to survive, and Democrats have already circled the wagons around him. https://t.co/GgJsD9EQrF

Why does @SenSchumer continue to remain silent? The man never met a microphone he didn't like—except now. https://t.co/4SQAsK0SU3

@SenGillibrand did you see this? How many women will it take? https://t.co/PZzNeKP2nN
