allegation?

A former Playboy Playmate accused Sen. Al Franken of groping her in a skit during a USO Tour in the Middle East, leaving her “disgusted and violated.”
Leeann Tweeden, a radio news anchor on KABC, said the Minnesota Democrat had written the script for the December 2006 show that included him giving her a kiss.
“On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time,”
she wrote on the KABC website. “He said to me, ‘ We need to rehearse the kiss. ‘ I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’ ”
But she said Franken demanded they practice the kissing scene.
“I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth,” she wrote.
She pushed him away and warned him that if he ever tried that again, she wouldn’t “be so nice about it the next time.”
Tweeden then said she walked away.
“All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth,” she wrote. “I felt disgusted and violated.”
Franken took to Facebook last month to praise the women who came forward to share their stories of sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein.
“It’s important to remember that while his behavior was appalling, it’s far too common,”
Franken wrote on Oct. 10.
Franken’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
