I was amazed how suddenly this story broke, and how quickly it destroyed him politically. With photos and a half-apology, half admission, Franken was destroyed from the outset. The only question is whether Franken will resign soon, or if he will finish his term as Senator. He certainly won't be running for re-election.
And just to demonstrate the media bias, at the White House daily press conference yesterday, there was one question about Al Franken (a sitting Senator, regarding a political scandal that is true beyond any doubt) and 15 questions about Roy Moore (a candidate, about whom there are only allegations at this point).
Franken for years has been well-known as a vicious person who is abusive to his staff and lacking in ethics in the way he deals with people. This latest situation with Leeann Tweeden is further confirmation of that.
