I believe he joked/actually posed for a photo groping a woman while she was asleep actually. You don't have to lower your standards just because the other side has none.

No he didn't, that photo was a joke, and he wasn't touching her at all. It was a MAGA smear campaign because there was a lot of talk about Franken running for president, and they were afraid of him, on BOTH sides.

So Schmuck Schumer turned on him, and joined the MAGA smear job to clear the decks for his Senate partner Kirsten Gillibrand to run. He ruined a good mans life and career for a stupid campaign that flamed out in a few weeks. Another way that Schmuck has deliberately hurt Democrats. Everything he does hurts Dems, and helps MAGA. Literally EVERYTHING. He should be investigated, he's a secret MAGA.

Here's the REAL story:

The Case of Al Franken

He hover handed a plate carrier. He could have full on grabbed the thing and it still wouldn't count as groping her chest.

.... So you think it's not problematic that he, a person with power and influence, indicated it would be funny to sexually assault a sleeping woman? It's only wrong if he actually does it? Go ask a few women in your life how they feel about it.
