Senator Al Franken Becomes Latest Public Official Accused of Sexual Harassment…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on November 16, 2017 by

Following the construct of the social movement as it originated (Hollywood) and continues to be rolled out (DC), it must be accepted the Democrat narrative engineers believe there’s a pot of ideological -and electoral- gold at the end of this rainbow.

That said, two women step forward today to accuse vulnerable Democrat Senator Al Franken of sexually inappropriate behavior and harassment. KABC host and personality Leeann Tweeden (here) and Media Equality Project Co-Founder, Melanie Morgan (here), both step forward today to accuse Senator Franken.

Leeann Tweeden tells her story here:

(Via ABC) A female radio host claims Al Franken, now Minnesota’s junior Democratic senator, groped her while she was sleeping aboard a military plane on her way home from a USO tour over a decade ago. She also claimed he forcibly kissed her when they were performing together for troops overseas.

“I felt disgusting and violated,” Leeann Tweeden wrote in a post this morning on KABC’s website.

Tweeden, who is a radio news anchor on Los Angeles station KABC (owned by Cumulus Media), described what she said took place between her and the comedian.

She claims that in 2006 Franken insisted on kissing her as part of a rehearsal for an act. He later groped her while she was asleep on a plane, she also claimed. Franken was elected senator in 2008. (read more)

Senator Franken released the following statement:

“The first thing I want to do is apologize: to Leeann, to everyone else who was part of that tour, to everyone who has worked for me, to everyone I represent, and to everyone who counts on me to be an ally and supporter and champion of women. There’s more I want to say, but the first and most important thing—and if it’s the only thing you care to hear, that’s fine—is: I’m sorry.

“I respect women. I don’t respect men who don’t. And the fact that my own actions have given people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed.
“But I want to say something else, too. Over the last few months, all of us—including and especially men who respect women—have been forced to take a good, hard look at our own actions and think (perhaps, shamefully, for the first time) about how those actions have affected women.

“For instance, that picture. I don’t know what was in my head when I took that picture, and it doesn’t matter. There’s no excuse. I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself. It isn’t funny. It’s completely inappropriate. It’s obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture. And, what’s more, I can see how millions of other women would feel violated by it—women who have had similar experiences in their own lives, women who fear having those experiences, women who look up to me, women who have counted on me.

“Coming from the world of comedy, I’ve told and written a lot of jokes that I once thought were funny but later came to realize were just plain offensive. But the intentions behind my actions aren’t the point at all. It’s the impact these jokes had on others that matters. And I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to come to terms with that.

“While I don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit as Leeann does, I understand why we need to listen to and believe women’s experiences.
“I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate.

“And the truth is, what people think of me in light of this is far less important than what people think of women who continue to come forward to tell their stories. They deserve to be heard, and believed. And they deserve to know that I am their ally and supporter. I have let them down and am committed to making it up to them.” (link)

Senator Al Franken is up for re-election this year and was already vulnerable to losing his seat.  Unlike the quisling republican wing within the UniParty their democrat counterparts will circle the wagons and look for the best political use of the issues.

Back in 2012 the professional Democrat apparatus decided to advance the gender side of politics for political benefit.  It’s a broad strategy.

Bill & Hillary No Longer Talk?

Edward Klein, the former foreign editor of Newsweek and former editor of The New York Times Magazine, has written several books about the Clintons and Kennedys. Klein has now come out with All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump. An exposé on Hillary revealing the truth behind the facade. The fact that Hillary has really been a lesbian into women and this is why she has let Bill free reign all these years. Gennifer Flowers did an interview and confirmed all those stories that have circulated for years. Hillary bought the house next door so she would not have to live in the same building yet claimed it was for her staff when they would visit.

It turns out that Bill even warned her she would lose and she told he he was “delusional.” Bill told here to focus on the Rust Belt, and she would not listen. To her, this was a sexist revolution and women would now take control.

Bill tossed her book in the garbage bin. Klien writes: “He told her the book made her look bewildered, angry and confused, and that those were poor qualities in a person who aspired to be a world leader. He hated the title because calling it What Happened would only make people say, ‘You lost.’ … “He urged her to postpone the pub date and rewrite the book, but she yelled at him and said, ‘The book is finished and that’s how it’s going to be published’.”

Klein writes that they no longer talk and only communicate through lawyers and friends. “Bill’s criticism — and what Hillary sees as his lack of sympathy — has driven a wedge between them. Hillary used her book tour as a “poor me” parade.

Hillary has done nothing but blame everybody else but herself. She has focused her blame on Russian hackers, former FBI Director James Comey and women who didn’t vote for her. Many women I have spoken to were offended that her attitude was they should vote for her ONLY because she was a women and to hell with everything else.

Even Chuck Schumer turned against Hillary tell CNN: “When you lose to somebody who has 40% popularity, you don’t blame other things — Comey, Russia — you blame yourself.” This whole “poor me” parade has rubbed many people wrong and demonstrated she was by no means qualified to be a world leader.

What Hillary has left in her wake is a costly investigation into Russia, a renewed cold war, and a nation very divided. All this for personal gain and feminism. I have known woman world leaders. Nobody has ever seen this as a feminist victory. Merkel would never take any such position and neither did Margaret Thatcher. Hillary has just been way too bitter about being born a woman and can’t get past that.

Inside Every Liberal is a Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out

The winner of a essay contest, N. A. Halkides, wrote a piece which is actually very on point. I have written before saying essentially the same position that those on the right seek liberty and justice for all because their greatest dream is to be free and left alone to pursue this gift of life. The left, is where revolutions emerge because they are never satisfied with the world and always want to be like the thief who breaks into you home to take what they want for themselves. Halkides explained like this:

The Progressive believes in precisely two things:  his own magnificence and the constructive power of brute force.  In combination, they lead him naturally from the role of pestiferous busybody to brutal dictator.  Where the productive man dreams of the things he might create if only left alone by his fellows, the Progressive dreams of the world he could create if only the lives and property of his fellows were at his disposal.  The roots of his pathology lie in that oldest and most destructive of all human vices, the desire for the power to rule over other men.

To give someone something to help them when they really need it actually makes you feel good inside. To be forced to turnover assets so someone else can claim to be charitable is not charity by any means – it is extortion. Even Hillary on the campaign trail remarked that Trump was worth several billions. “Think what we could do with that!” she exclaimed. It is always violating the Tenth Commandment – Thous shall not covert anything belonging to someone else. It seems God understood the totalitarian hiding inside every leftist and made it a violation of his 10 Commandments.
