RINO Republicans like Mitch McConnell and the Democrats have a double standard for Roy Moore and Al Franken
Hours after news broken that a U.S. senator made inappropriate sexual advances on a woman, Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore said he is not getting the similar benefit of the doubt.
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was accused by sports broadcaster Leeann Tweeden of groping her and kissing her aggressively when they were rehearsing a skit for a USO show in 2006. The incidents occurred two years before Franken – a former comedian – was elected to the Senate.
Moore suggested that there was a double standard for how he is being treated in the aftermath of women saying they had romantic encounters with the former Alabama chief justice when they were teens and he was in his 30s. Two of the women said Moore made unwanted sexual advances.
Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations and has said he is conducting an investigation. His attorney, at a press conference Wednesday, questioned the authenticity of a yearbook signing one of the accusers attributed to Moore and asked for the handwriting to be reviewed by an expert.
Al Franken also grabbed Joy Behar’s breast at Comedy Central roast for Rob Reiner.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called on the Senate Ethics Committee to review the allegations against Franken.
Moore pointed out that McConnell said Moore should step aside in the Dec. 12 election against Democrat Doug Jones and that he believed Moore’s accusers.
McConnell backed Moore’s GOP primary runoff opponent, Luther Strange, and Moore has repeatedly called for McConnell to be stripped of his leadership duties before the allegations were made last week.
Franken issued an apology after Tweeden made her allegations in a post on the Los Angeles radio station KABC website, where she is now a morning host. He also said he would cooperate with the ethics investigation.
“Al Franken admits guilt after photographic evidence of his abuse surfaces,” Moore posted on Twitter. “Mitch: “Let’s investigate.”
“In Alabama, ZERO evidence, allegations 100% rejected. Mitch: “Moore must quit immediately or be expelled.”
