Army veteran Stephanie Kemplin, who has accused Senator Al Franken (D-MN) of groping her, slammed the lawmaker for suggesting she lied or misinterpreted the incident.
Daily Caller reports:
Kemplin said during an MSNBC interview Thursday that she did not necessarily feel that justice was served by Franken announcing his resignation.
“I have to say that I am so sad and appalled at his lack of response and him owning up to what he did,” Kemplin said. “I feel that he just keeps passing the buck and making it out to be… that we took his behavior the wrong way ,or we misconstrued something, or just flat-out lied about what happened to us.”
“Justice to me would be him owning up to what he did and him to stop trying to pass the buck to individuals who possibly committed the same things, possibly more heinous, than what he’s done,” she concluded.
Senator Al Franken resigned from the US Senate today — this comes after dozens of Democrat senators finally told him to step down for his sexual abuse that was caught on camera.
Below is a clip of Franken resigning.
“Today, I am announcing that in the coming weeks, I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate,” the disgraced lawmaker said.
