Stephen Colbert addressed the cacophony of Democratic senators calling for Sen. Al Franken
to step down after more women accused him of trying to force a kiss or
grabbing them during a photo op. Franken’s camp says he’s going to make
an announcement on Thursday but has not decided whether he will step
down — but that did not stop Colbert from calling him the “former”
senatoAmong
today’s allegations was a former congressional aide who said Franken
tried to force a kiss on her after her boss appeared on the former SNL regular’s radio program, telling her, “It’s my right as an entertainer.”No it isn’t!” Colbert said, referring to the Bill of Rights for Entertainers that he always carries with him-Take rides at Disneyland ahead of childre-Skip security lines at airports-Unlimited free Apple stuffFranken has called this woman’s allegation “categorically untrue.”Colbert
played compiled footage showing TV news talking heads ticking off the
number of Dems calling for Franken’s exit across the day: four senators,
eight, up to 10, 20, 28, 30…“Sold — to make room for the gentleman from Alabama!” Colbert snarked, in Roy Moore reference.
