"The unidentified accuser, who is a former Democratic congressional aide, spoke to Politico and shared how she says she ducked to avoid Franken kissing her as she tried to leave the radio studio.

She said that as she left the room, he allegedly said "It's my right as an entertainer," according to Politico."

Al Franken categorically denies he ever said that statement.

I have read all of them and I smell a bunch of fishes.
