Twitter Eviscerates Trump For Weighing in on Franken: 'You Should Probably Just Shut the Hell Up'

by Joe DePaolo | 10:55 pm, November 16th, 2017

President Donald Trump just couldn’t help himself.

After a prolonged silence on accusations of teen sex abuse against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, POTUS was unable to resist weighing in on misconduct allegations against Sen. Al Franken (D-MN).

“The Al Frankenstien [sic] picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps? …..” Trump wrote.

Of course, Twitter seized on the fact that Trump himself has faced a number of on-the-record sexual misconduct allegations. Here is a sampling of the reaction on social media:

Sarah Lerner ✔@SarahLerner
Donald Trump can be this brazen & hypocritical because he knows that his Republican colleagues won’t meaningfully hold him accountable.
