Despite explosive allegations of sexual assault against him, Democratic Sen. Al Franken has refused to resign his office.
These new photos may cause the liberal know-it-all to rethink his choice.
The Daily Wire has reported on photos uncovered from a 2000 photoshoot with liberal Arianna Huffington, founder of the left-wing The Huffington Post.
Huffington is seen laying on a bed with Franken while he forcibly grabbed her breasts. In another photo, Franken is groping her butt.
Pictures first shared by The Daily Wire
The photos from the shoot were previously unpublished… and critics call them very disturbing.
“Franken was clowning around, but it really isn’t funny,” a source from the shoot told The Daily Wire. “That’s his tactic, pretend like it’s all a big joke. Arianna was pushing his hands away. He was groping her. There was some fun attached to it, but she wasn’t enjoying it. She definitely told him to stop and pushed him away.”
This isn’t the first time Franken was accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a photoshoot.
In fact, it’s a pattern of abuse spanning over decades.
Another woman, Lindsay Menz, came forward this week and accused Franken of inappropriately grabbing her during a 2010 photo opportunity.
At a time when he was a senator, Menz said she met Franken at the Minnesota State Fair. When she asked for a picture, he groped her right in front of her husband. Menz says Franken made her feel “uncomfortable” and “gross.”
She detailed the incident by stating that Franken “pulled me in really close, like awkward close, and as my husband took the picture, he put his hand full-fledged on my rear. It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek,” she said.
In shock, Menz questioned to herself “Oh my god, what’s happening.”
Franken claims he has no recollection of the incident.
“I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don’t remember taking this picture,” Franken said.
Sorry Franken, no one actually believes you.
A spokesperson for Franken says the senator is refusing to resign, despite the mountain of the allegations of inappropriate behavior.
