Unreal. Theted already a third accuser. He's a sexual predator. I'm sure dems will rally around him tho. That's what they do.

Is this her entire complaint?

quote:

Morgan and Franken had a dispute over the OMB’s budget numbers.

“I was invited and unaware of who his guests were going to be that night. I’ve since learned that though few know this, Al Franken was actually a writer for the show,” Morgan said.

“I made a statement about the budget numbers, Franken challenged me, I challenged him back. It was about spending priorities, actually just a mundane discussion. But he obsessed over it.”

After the show, Morgan said Franken wouldn’t leave her alone, insisting on continuing the argument.

“He approached me backstage, angrily called me out on those numbers and insisted he would prove he was right. He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimidating.

“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.

“He approached Carol, the show’s producer and demanded my home phone number, which was a clear violation of network protocol. I had thought that was the end of the story and was shocked when he started calling my home, badgering me repeatedly.

“I became fearful and called Carol to complain and asked her to tell him to back off. But he made another call after that. I thought that he might end up stalking me at my home in Northern California, it was that bad.

“By the third phone call I was outraged and terrified, as he is really disturbed,” Morgan recounted.

Morgan said Franken finally left her alone, but only after she pushed back and threatened to call the police.

I mean... frick Franken, but that broad's story is a reach. He's an a-hole that wants to get the last word, but that's hardly assault.

Yeah, in the end, we have to start trying to figure out whether the conduct complained of is indicative of someone who is actually a predator, I think.

Moore? I don't think so. I'm not saying it's moral behavior, but I don't think he's a pedophile, I just think he's a weird guy who had to go way below his peer group to find women to engage with. Doesn't mean he should be a Senator, though.

Franken? Not sure. The picture of the groping is classless but he's a comedian who pushes the envelope. The kissing thing is weird, this account sounds like fluff. When you have to emphasize how it made you feel far more than what actually occurred, that to me signals your account is shitty and you know it. Same point about being a Senator.

Weinstein? Obviously. The guy was a piece of shite who hurt the lives of women who rejected his advances, deserves worse than just public mockery.

Notice lack of word sexual in her tweet.

Appears not to have been, for what that's worth:

Media Equalizer reports:

Morgan, who was a ABC Radio talk show host for KSFO in San Francisco at the time, appeared August 19, 2000 on ABC’s late night show Politically Incorrect.

The Democrats really should change their mascot from a donkey to Wile E. Coyote. Everything they do backfires.

I remember that woman from a talk radio show in the bay area about ten years ago. She's a moron. I'm not saying she's not credible, but she is a moron.

Did he? Or did he just withdraw his support? That's a very big difference.
