Earlier today White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders noted that while Al Franken has confirmed a claim made against him by Leanne Tweeden, President Trump has denied all claims made by “more than a dozen” women that he pawed or sexually assaulted them, and that this is a plus for the President. Exact Sanders quote: “Franken has admitted wrongdoing and the President hasn’t. I think that’s a very clear distinction.” Asked to evaluate the merits of a possible ethics investigation about a single Franken incident from ’06 vs. several serious-sounding claims against Trump that have been brushed aside, Sanders said that “the American people spoke very loud and clear when they elected the president.”
