After Sick Allegations, Mitch McConnell Takes First Step Against Al Franken

November 16, 2017 by Caleb Marius

It appears that the more vociferous a leftist is in their attacks and accusations against others concerning sexual improprieties, the more likely they’re the ones actually guilty of them.

“Don’t throw stones in glass houses,” it’s a basic aphorism that shouldn’t be too hard to abide by, especially if you’re a politician with a skeleton-filled closet of your own. But in the case of leftists, they’ve come to believe that their near ubiquitous control over the media will shield them from anything, so they routinely accuse folks of things they themselves are guilty of. This is especially true of Hollywood celebrities, as they trashed Trump’s “locker-room talk” and just months later have been exposed for serial sexual abuse.

But now we’ve moved from celebrities to politicians, as the stream of sexual abuse allegations are making their way to Washington. And the latest person to be exposed as a harasser is one of the most vocal critics of the Trump administration. Who’s lodged all sorts of accusations at the president over his supposed mistreatment of women–Sen. Al Franken.

As reported at the Hill, left-wing Sen. Franken has been accused of kissing and groping a woman without her consent back in 2006, and already, he’s come out and admitted that it’s true. As a result, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is doing something useful for once, calling on the Senate Ethics Committee to review the incident.

“As with all credible allegations of sexual harassment or assault, I believe the Ethics Committee should review the matter. I hope the Democratic Leader will join me on this. Regardless of party, harassment and assault are completely unacceptable — in the workplace or anywhere else,” McConnell said in a statement.
Considering the deluge of accusations against their Hollywood benefactors, and constant proclamations they’re the party that defends women, McConnell’s statement puts the Democrats in a very difficult position. They have little choice but to throw Franken to the wolves.

Franken’s accuser, a TV host and sports broadcaster named Leeann Tweeden, said he groped her, without her consent, while she was asleep. She’s even provided a photo as evidence. The incident happened in December 2006, she said, when she and Franken, then a comedian, were on a USO Tour to “entertain our troops.”

Franken apologized on Thursday, saying, “I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann.” He added that “as to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t. I shouldn’t have done it.”
The Left will have a very hard time denying an inquiry, as this isn’t just some political opportunism McConnell’s playing at, because he’s already declared that should Roy Moore win in Alabama, he’ll be facing the ethics committee as well. It’ll be interesting to see how the Democrats handle this situation after all their hand-wringing over Moore and the issue of sexual harassment in general. As for Franken, the chickens are finally coming home to roost.
