The last person in the world who should be talking about sexual harassment is Donald Trump, but that didn’t stop the sexual predator in chief from attacking Sen. Al Franken.
First Trump tried to turn the Franken groping picture into a porno:
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? …..

There are no pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. There is one picture. One really bad picture, but that is not enough for this president as he has to project what he has probably done to women on to Al Franken.
Trump’s second tweet was even worse:
.And to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. Lesley Stahl tape?

Trump is the last person on the planet who should be talking about tapes. He has admitted on tape that he sexually assaults women because “when you’re a star, they’ll let you do anything.”
Donald Trump hasn’t said or tweeted a peep about Roy Moore sexually assaulting underage girls, but he wastes no time pouncing on a Democrat who has apologized and taken responsibility for his actions.
Sexual assault and sexual harassment are not partisan crimes, but Trump is sending a clear message. When a Republican like Donald Trump or Roy Moore commits sexual assault, it is to be ignored, but if a Democrat sexually harasses anyone, it is appropriate to assume that they are a rapist.
Trump is desperate to distract from Roy Moore and Russia, but reminding the country of his own sex crimes is not going to end well for this president.
