Topic: Leanne Tweeden

Senator Al Franken announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate following a coordinated push from over 30 Democratic colleagues. The move followed allegations of sexual misconduct from eight women, including Leanne Tweeden and an anonymous accuser who alleged a forcible kiss. Democratic leadership utilized the resignation to create a moral contrast with Republicans supporting Roy Moore in Alabama.

Los Angeles radio host Leanne Tweeden accused Democratic Senator Al Franken of forcibly kissing and groping her during a 2006 USO tour. A photograph showing Franken posing with his hands on Tweeden's breasts while she slept has surfaced, leading to calls for his resignation.
