The senator the Lizard
People of Minnesota helped to elect in 2008 is set to make an announcement on
Thursday after 38 senators called for him to resign. Added to the chorus was Democrat National
Committee Chairman Tom Perez.
The push to oust
Franken came after another anonymous woman said Franken tried to forcibly kiss
her in 2006 after the taping of his radio show.
His accuser claims he said, “It’s my right as an entertainer.”
“This allegation is
categorically not true and the idea that I would claim this as my right as an
entertainer is preposterous,” Franken said in a statement Wednesday.
And then…
Freelance journalist for The Atlantic and former communications
director for Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), Tina Dupuy, joined the seven other
accusers saying, “I wasn’t going to come forward. Then I was. Then I wasn’t.
I’ve been hoping Franken would just step down and I wouldn’t have to say
anything. I’ve been hoping he’s a decent enough man not to force his victims to
parade in front of the Ethics Committee. I’ve been hoping I’d not ever have the
moniker of ‘Franken accuser’”.
Senator Franken will be making an announcement tomorrow. More details to come.— Sen. Al Franken (@SenFranken) December 6, 2017
