Not enough, @SenFranken. I have admired your politics & willingness to speak up for everyday people, but this behavior isn't OK when ANYONE does it. What are you going to DO about it?

He just apologized for it and apologized to
@LeeannTweeden as well. Should he be burned at the stake? At least he owned it and apologized, unlike all of the others who've been accused of worse. - 1 more reply

Usually when someone genuinely apologizes they mean it. He didn't defend his actions or try to make them right. We will see how this turns out, but
@SenFranken people make mistakes. It's what we do going forward to clean up our side of the street that makes the difference.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Why does Franken have to qualify his response with “ I certainly don’t remember...? It makes the whole statement less meaningful for the one who was offended. Just apologize period
-
He apologized, acknowledged such behavior is wrong and proactively volunteered to cooperate with an ethics probe. We don’t need to go to the other extreme of not allowing those accused to even speak to their own recollections.
-
Reading his second apology increases his sincerity factor. He is getting there, but still inserted the “not the way I remember it”.
-
It probably wasn't, you have a bunch of comedians goofing off, making fun of each other and everyone, raunchy comedians, the pic doesn't show him grabbing her breasts. I think his apology was fair & sincere. Given her life choices makes the embellishment of the story suspect. Imo

The man is a comedian. They do stupid things for a living, some are funny, some or not. Notice the difference: He IMMEDIATELY owned up to it and APOLOGIZED PUBLICLY without a bunch of excuses or attempts to SMEAR THE WOMAN. Bad he did it, but THIS IS OVER AND DONE!

#GreedyOldPerverts own their mistakes. Great opportunity for#EX-JudgeSleaze to stop SMEARING and LYING! Inside that Bible you thump are lessons about "NOT BEARING FALSE WITNESS, AND COVETING". Oh, that's on your#GravenImage you use as a prop, isn't it?pic.twitter.com/NP1fncw80c

This statement is useless without his resignation attached to it.
-
If every man in politics/entertainment/everywhere else men work with women were to resign from their jobs bc they groped/harassed some woman, it would plunge the world wide economy into chaos. Whether resignation is required depends on the severity.
-
If there are that many men who have done that, then the whole thing deserves to be burned to the goddamned ground. Purge. Them. All.

If the allegations are true, I am disappointed in Al Franken. But, let's be honest, he doesn't even come close to touching her in the pic. Groping is not okay, not even for a "funny" pic but that's not in evidence in the photograph.

What's the 'clear' part - that she was asleep and couldn't consent to being assaulted? Since when is that a fail-proof laugh fest?
-
Words have meanings. This is not assault. We are reaching a point of hysteria.

Pity about the dismissive “but” - much as I am aligned with Franken’s politics, not a sincere response.

The resignation stuff needs to quit....That is UNLESS Donald Trump follows him out the door, ok?

Be all the way honest, Al. It's gonna sting if what's alleged is true, and it probably is. But you're a man who has shown true decency, honesty & courage in many other areas of your life. Show that same honesty & decency here by being accountable for any wrong you have committed.
