Another woman has come forward to accuse Sen. Franken of sexually harassing her. According to the article, “Another woman has come forward to accuse Sen. Al Franken of groping her during a USO tour — this time, an Army veteran who reportedly claims the Minnesota Democrat cupped her breast while taking a photo in Kuwait in 2003.”
The article identifies the woman as “Stephanie Kemplin, 41, of Maineville,” OH. Kemplin is “the fifth woman to accuse the senator of inappropriate behavior, CNN reported. She was also the second person to allege an incident during a USO tour. Three women have come forward publicly and the other two have remained anonymous. Kemplin told CNN that Franken, who was a writer and comedian at the time, was visiting the soldiers when she waited in line to take a photo with the “Saturday Night Live” alum. During the encounter, Franken allegedly ‘groped’ her breast.”
At this point, I don’t care whether Sen. Franken apologizes to her. I don’t even care if he admits that he’s a pervert. (We know that already.) I just want him out of the Senate. Preferably, I’d like him behind bars where he can experience some of what he’s allegedly dished out.
“When he put his arm around me, he groped my right breast. He kept his hand all the way over on my breast,” Kemplin told CNN. “I’ve never had a man put their arm around me and then cup my breast. So he was holding my breast on the side.”
“I remember clenching up and how you just feel yourself flushed,” she said. “And I remember thinking — is he going to move his hand? Was it an accident? Was he going to move his hand? He never moved his hand. It was long enough that he should have known if it was an accident. I’m very confident saying that,” the veteran added.
Al the Groper should exit stage left immediately:
