‘This is so pathetic’! Al Franken’s Thanksgiving weekend ‘apology’ drop goes THUD
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

Chelsea Handler will no doubt buy that “apology” (as will some former SNL staffers and performers) but will anybody else? It isn’t going over very well:
"I feel terribly," the groper explained. https://t.co/y2jU2jPT2s

Squeezing a woman's butt is NOT a hug, you pervert. Nobody's buying this garbage @alfranken #resign https://t.co/I9t7wy1bkb

Sen Franken, that you "feel terribly" seems to be exactly what brought you to this moment, maybe choose different words. https://t.co/k6SkPTWnnQ

Does he mean to say he regrets his behavior, or is he just saying that he just doesn't do it well? Grammar matters. https://t.co/DREkdtxlg3

Just catching up with Al Franken's excuse that the women who say he groped them just misunderstood his warm hugs. Y'all gonna let him get away with that, aren'tya.

There are now *multiple* Franken accusers and it looks like he’s gonna get away with it. Wow.
