Al Franken was accused of multiple issues of harassment before he was Senator but while serving the USO Tour. Another two incidents were when he was taking a picture.
If a standard is The Standard it has to be consistent. Time is not a factor. When is not the factor (as in before or after the individual was elected), if the accuser was paid out of taxpayers funds or not is not a factor (as many want the 45th to resign and he has not had a penny come from taxpayer funds on the cases he settled -- yet he was elected anyway).
The standard is -- if one is accused and the allegations hold any type of merit -- they should resign or retire from Elected Office in the U.S. Congress and Senate and the Presidency of the United States of America. 
Otherwise, the issue is about RACE of the individual accused. POINT, BLANK, PERIOD!
