Oh, brother … now Sen. Franken gets accused

The hits just keep coming.

Now it’s Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota who’s been accused of groping and kissing a woman against her will.

She produced a picture of Franken committing the deed in 2006.

See the picture here.

OK, then. It’s reprehensible and disgusting. Franken should be ashamed of himself. The incident occurred when Franken — who was then a comedian — was on a USO tour with news anchor Leann Tweeden.

Franken has apologized for his actions.

Tweeden has leveled some harsh — and well-deserved — criticism at Franken.

Here, though, is a question I think needs to be asked, given the intense fallout from the Roy Moore story and the mounting pressure on the Republican senatorial candidate from Alabama to drop out of the race. Moore blames his accusers of being tools of Democrats and the “fake news” media.

Are there any political considerations to ponder about Leann Tweeden’s accusation?

Suffice to say that a new day has burst all over Washington, D.C., let alone on the entertainment industry, in light of the “Me Too” movement and the hideous accusations that have ricocheted about one-time superstars.

Let’s all stay tuned. My guess is that there will be plenty more of these accusations coming forth.
