Two more women have come forward to accuse senator Al Franken of grabbing them inappropriately and otherwise harassing them. That makes four accusers of sexual harassment and one who just said that Franken harassed her but not sexually. These latest two women don't want to disclose their names for fear of getting harassed by Franken's supporters or having problems at work. Franken says he can't respond to anonymous allegations. That's a fair response, but the story is in the left wing site Huffington Post and the two women are both strong Democrats according to HuffPo.
There are now more women accusing Franken of sexual wrongs than those who accuse Roy Moore. Strange how no one in the senate has called for Franken to resign.
Of course, the hypocrisy in the senate is spread all over the place. Perhaps the best example is Lindsay Graham of South Carolina. Lindsay has denounced Judge Moore and called for him to drop out of the Alabama race. Meanwhile, he also went to testify as a character witness for senator Bob Menendez in his bribery and corruption trial. Menendez was actually indicted with tons of evidence against him. Menendez was also accused of flying to the Dominican Republic repeatedly to have sex with underage girls (prostitutes).
I don't know whether Franken did any of the things of which he is accused aside from the one for which there is photographic evidence. Given the photo, however, I do suspect that an investigation would not go well for him.
