General

As Twitchy reported Wednesday evening, two more women came forward to accuse Sen. Al Franken of groping them. The Minnesota Democrat and SNL alum has apologized again. Well, sort of: Al Franken issued a new apology: "I'm a warm person, I hug people. I've learned from recent stories that in some of those encounters I crossed a line for some women, and I know that any number is too many." https://t.co/YpeV2VSzNH pic.twitter.com/Pc3krGG9hx — CBS This Morning 🦃 (@CBSThisMorning) November 24, 2017 Democratic Sen.

IRONY alert! Does this scene at Al Franken’s presser ring some bells?
