If you thought admitted sexual assaulter Donald Trump wouldn’t see the irony in commenting on the sexual misconduct allegations made against Senator Al Franken, think again!
On Thursday, the Democrat apologized to TV host Leeann Tweeden after she accused him of groping and kissing her without consent during a ’06 USO Tour. He condemned his own actions and requested an “ethics investigation be undertaken.”
Of course, POTUS couldn’t miss the opportunity to slam his political adversary for being too handsy, apparently forgetting that he was once recorded on video telling Billy Bush where his hands go around pretty women.

On Thursday evening, Trump wrote a “tsk, tsk”-natured tweet about the former Saturday Night Live writer — and offer his latest zinger “Al Frankenstien” — with the gusto of a man who has never been accused of sexual assault himself.
Thankfully, Twitter was right there to call out the president’s painfully un-self-aware response, reminding Trump about that time he was recorded bragging about grabbing women “by the pussy.” Others pointed the hypocrisy in Trump calling out Franken for inappropriate behavior but claiming he was “too focused on policy” to comment on the allegations made against his GOP pal Roy Moore.
See what Trump had to say (below) — along with the infuriated responses!
The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps? …..

I guess Al’s big mistake was not grabbing her by the pussy or finding a 14 year old in a mall #Moron #fuckingmoron https://t.co/ipmvoTml4S

I believe we have video of you saying where your hands go…

You can rag Franken, but can’t condemn Moore? You have no moral compass.

1. Franken’s behavior is disgusting and wrong.
2. Your response is disgraceful.
3. You haven’t tweeted about the pedophile running in your party. It’s time you do.
4. You said: “When you├óΓé¼Γäóre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” So, you tell us where the hands go…

Bad? Why? Because he apologized? In your eyes, real men assault and grab women inappropriately and NEVER apologize. Right?

Yup, a picture says a thousand words, Donny. But so do actual words, especially when they spell out a sexual assault confession.
