Washington, D.C. – Iowa’s Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate has a record of disrespecting women that is finally coming to light.
Breitbart spelled out a handful of instances:
- Accused by his former campaign manager, Kimberley Strope-Boggus, in an unearthed police report, of “grabb[ing] the collar of the vest she was wearing and kissed her on her mouth” before she could “pull away” when they met for drinks at a bar in March.
- On the same day the initial story of the police report broke, Mike Franken was touting his endorsement from disgraced ex-Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), who resigned from his post after having a wave of accusations of sexual misconduct from women.
- In fact, Laura Belin, a liberal blogger from Iowa, published screenshots on her blog that she captured of Mike Franken paying for and running an ad on Twitter from Al Franken.
- And in a since-deleted tweet obtained by Breitbart News, Mike Franken also responded to a tweet from Al Franken on April 5, 2019, where he said, “Wondering why you left your seat. Run again, please.”
- Implied multiple times that Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is a witch.
- Said, “[Iowa woman] just look void.”
- Jaylen Cavil, a far-left activist in Des Moines, Iowa, said, “I had heard things like this about [Mike Franken] for a while.”
- Suggested that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should control his wife and dictate what she is or is not allowed to say and do.
- EMILY’s List, a major Democrat political action committee that focuses on electing women said, “Iowa Democrats should not trust … Michael Franken.”
This is concerning, disgusting, and should not be tolerated. But the Democrats put him up as their nominee for U.S. Senate anyway?!
