Woman who accused Franken says she accepts his apology
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/16/17 01:45 PM EST

The woman who accused Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) of sexual misconduct said Thursday she accepts his apology.

"The apology, sure I accept it, yes. People make mistakes and of course he knew he made a mistake," Leeann Tweeden said. "So yes I do accept that apology. There's no reason why I shouldn't accept his apology."

She said it's up to Congress to decide if it wants to have an ethics investigation into Franken's behavior, adding that she isn’t calling for Franken to step down, unless more women come forward.

“People make mistakes. I’m not calling for him to step down. That’s not my place to say that,” Tweeden said.

5. He avoided talking to her a few years later

I'm hoping it was because he was remorseful.

OTOH, celebs(entertainers) do tend to have power in a way that average people do not. I hope this is not a pattern.

6. I remember when Al was first running for senate and Randi Rhodes from Air America

kept talking very vaguely about not liking him. I was hoping she was jealous. But, I got the sense there was a story she wanted to tell but couldn't.

7. She says, after the "incident", Franken noticed her at an event

they both attended. He walked up to her and hubby, she said "Hi Al", and then SHE walked away.

She says he could have apologized to her at that event.
