Quote of the day: Franken grabbed her butt

1

Sen. Al Franken “pulled me in really close, like awkward close, and as my husband took the picture, he put his hand full-fledged on my rear. It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek. It wasn’t around my hip or side. It was definitely on my butt.”

– Minnesotan Lindsay Menz, telling CNN she met Sen. Franken at the Minnesota State Fair, and he had been a senator for two years when he grabbed her buttocks during a standard constituent photo shoot. That would make him a “breast guy” and a “butt guy” at this point. Will his supporters stand by him?
