Two more women have told HuffPost that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) touched their butts in separate incidents. Leeann Tweeden, a radio host, wrote last week that Franken had kissed and groped her without her consent during a 2006 USO tour. The two additional women, who said they were not familiar with each others’ stories, both spoke on condition of anonymity. “He grabbed my buttocks during a photo op.”The second woman told HuffPost that Franken cupped her butt with his hand at a 2008 Democratic fundraiser in Minneapolis, then suggested the two visit the bathroom together. Ten years ago, it was easier to shrug off predatory behavior as “boys being boys,” Sarah said, especially when that predatory behavior came from a political ally.
