Melanie Morgan: After TV appearance, Al Franken harassed me too
In response to the disturbing allegations made against Franken, Media Equalizer and Media Equality Project Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward to recall her own frightening encounter, sparked by a seemingly-mundane and even obscure topic of political disagreement.
Morgan, who was a ABC Radio talk show host for KSFO / San Francisco at the time, appeared August 19, 2000 on ABC’s late night show Politically Incorrect.
She was joined by Franken, William Baldwin, and then-Colorado Lt. Governor Joe Rogers on the panel.
Morgan and Franken had a dispute over the OMB’s budget numbers.
“I was invited and unaware of who his guests were going to be that night. I’ve since learned that though few know this, Al Franken was actually a writer for the show,” Morgan said.
“I made a statement about the budget numbers, Franken challenged me, I challenged him back. It was about spending priorities, actually just a mundane discussion. But he obsessed over it.”
After the show, Morgan said Franken wouldn’t leave her alone, insisting on continuing the argument.
“He approached me backstage, angrily called me out on those numbers and insisted he would prove he was right. He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.
“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.
“He approached Carol, the show’s producer and demanded my home phone number, which was a clear violation of network protocol. I had thought that was the end of the story and was shocked when he started calling my home, badgering me repeatedly.
“I became fearful and called Carol to complain and asked her to tell him to back off. But he made another call after that. I thought that he might end up stalking me at my home in Northern California, it was that bad.
“By the third phone call I was outraged and terrified, as he is really disturbed,” Morgan recounted.
Morgan said Franken finally left her alone, but only after she pushed back and threatened “to call the police and make a report that he was harassing me.”
To this day, she says she is haunted by it: “I never forgot that experience and it informed me of his lack of character and obsessive personality. I believe every word Leann wrote.”

stop posting this UNRELATED SHIT, FAGGOT.
this submission belongs anywhere but PIZZAGATE
@vindicator c'mon dude... this is complete bullshit.

Hey, remember that thing we've been doing for the past year? Can you tell me how far it has brought us? We need to start spreading information like this to soften the public opinion towards PG because otherwise we won't get anywhere. We tell them about the pizza later.
Do you also not remember being told that if we focus on trying to get the elites taken down for pizza we'll miss our opportunity and instead indirectly protect them? These posts are necessary, don't try and sabotage one of our hardest working researchers.

Shut up, faggot. I'm not sabotaging anyone. This asshole is a herding shill and is echoing the MSM narrative.
he's not a hard researcher... he is a fucking spamming shill, sliding important posts and taking everyone's eye off the ball..
For fucking real... review how he and @secondamendment are carrying on together. Clear as fucking day.

The MSM narrative? None of the main media outlets are covering this aside from about Roy Moore, which tells me they're all guilty aside from Roy Moore. If he's diverting our attention, tell us where to look instead. Every time there's a distraction it's because something bigger is happening in the background, so tell me which direction to take and I'll go for it. Otherwise try and help the cause, not hinder it.

GEE... maybe destroying JOE AND JILL BIDEN should be on the front burner right now.. After all, she runs a charity that deals with children in Haiti and he and Lady GAGA are starting an abuse foundation.
You think this Franken shit is not connected to burying those stories that are 1000X more relevant and important ?

Biden's in the limelight more than anyone else at the moment. I was thinking about making another post on him yesterday but decided everyone had heard enough of him by now - besides, the biggest accusations are already out there by now (including how he touches kids in front of the media), so it's a matter of watching and waiting to see what happens to him from now on.
Oh_Well_ian ago
spread those videos far and wide... connect him to Lady Gaga and spirit cooking... don't get bored of a topic in a day. Joe Biden is the front runner for 2020 and needs to be systematically destroyed and his actions connected to Barack Obama..
DO NOT GO BACK DOWN THE LADDER
DO NOT PLACATE TO NORMIES

That is true actually, I was somewhat shaken by the idea of him running. However, posts of Biden here are mostly the same thing. The videos of him grabbing kids are everywhere and won't be news to anyone. I just don't see what kind of information could be brought to the table that hasn't been said before.
