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.”

This is not the "storm" I wanted. While it may be fun to watch his career go down the tubes as he embibes a dose of his own meds, it's not really the storm we were promised. What does adults coming forward about questionable predator behavior have anything to do with this so supposed underground coup against the satanic elites?

This is part of it. Don't you remember that he's the one that was a host at Rob Reiner's comedy roast. Franken is the one that told all the pedo jokes about him being anally raped.

He's friends with Rob Reiner and Reiner has always been on the radar. Then there's the pic of Franken in diapers? So weird.

This is part of the storm. Hang in there.

this isn't the fucking STORM, faggot
Your tactic of CAPITALIZING certain words in an effort to connect SEXUAL HARRASSMENT to THE STORM is a joke.
Hey... since @secondamendment thinks you're one of our best investigators, how about a post on Jill Biden's Haiti charity ?

mp has a sterling reputation here going back to last November.
Oh_Well_ian ago
the fuck he does...
2impendingdoom ago
if you were here as long as I have been, you would know of whom you speak and don't for one single second assume that I do not.
Oh_Well_ian ago
you have no fucking idea who I am or how long I have been here
don't assume this is my only account and don't assume I don't know how this sub operates
2impendingdoom ago
Who are your other alts and why do you need them? If you've been here for so long you would know who migratory patterns and second amendment are, and that they are not shills. go back to 4chan.
Oh_Well_ian ago
I was locked out of my original account last month when I could not provide my password. I was doxed and people have come to my house and threatened me and my family, so don't tell me what the fuck this is about.
These faggots are the SAME PERSON and they are participating in obvious narrative control. Oh... and you too are suspect.
2impendingdoom ago
what was your previous account? Because I know mp's and this is a good poster, same as second amendment. Nobody else here is having a hissy fit
Oh_Well_ian ago
@remedy4reality
he is not a good poster... ever notice how his alt account backslaps and high fives him ? Does that concern you? After all, we are talking about the ritual sacrifice and rape of small children. Getting pumped up over Al Franken going down and self congratulating is sickening. It's fucking sickening.
2impendingdoom ago
I dont think 2a is her alt.
Oh_Well_ian ago
I do... these accounts write IDENTICALLY
how can you not see that ?
2impendingdoom ago
because I know who mp was, and its not the same account as 2a. mp had a lot a support as her old incarnation so anyone else who recognizes who this is will quickly chime in as they used to with her old name, she doesn't need 2 concurrent accounts. she does a lot of digging on corrupt politicians. the nefarious element here is m falcon and the other mods.
Oh_Well_ian ago
ok... let's agree on that.. MF is a shitbag.
When someone who I don't respect attempts to lead or manipulate, I target them. let's see how this plays out
