Woman accuses Al Franken of kissing, groping her without consent

I'm incredibly liberal and can't wait to watch Moore have the hammer come down on him, but the mental gymnastics you're going through to downplay what Franken allegedly did is absurd. Nobody is equating what he did with Moore, but groping somebody in their sleep is disgusting- shouldn't represent our country in any formal manner, and I say that as somebody who was an enormous fan of his. Yeah the photo is enough for him to resign already- we have to set a better precedent than the right has regarding Moore, Bill O'Reily, etc. This sucks because I really liked Franken but what he did was gross, and how insistent he was on practicing the kiss for a skit that she already said wasn't necessary raises a lot of red flags about the type of person he is IMO.
