Mocks Al Franken over groping photo with "Al Frankenstien" tweet

After radio host Leeann Tweeden accused Senator Al Franken of forcibly kissing and groping her during a 2006 USO tour, Trump tweeted, "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?" A follow-up tweet added that Franken had "just last week" been lecturing others about sexual harassment. Commentators noted the apparent hypocrisy of the attack given the numerous sexual-misconduct allegations against Trump himself and the 2005 Access Hollywood recording, and observed that Trump had remained silent about Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. The tweet fit a documented pattern of targeting political opponents while shielding allies facing similar accusations.
