Celebrities took to social media Thursday to react to Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) announcement that he would resign from the Senate in the coming weeks after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.
Some stars, including actor Tom Arnold and actress Alyssa Milano, appeared to express disappointment that Franken was resigning. Arnold claimed that Franken’s first accuser, journalist Leeann Tweeden, had been “coached” to bring the senator down, while Milano called attention to previous allegations against Donald Trump.
I’m disappointed with my friend Leeann Tweedon. Her partner at KABC John Phillips is a Roger Stone pal & they coached her for weeks to bring Al Franken down. I’d hoped she’d use her voice to speak out for all women again predators like Roy Moore & Donald Trump but she’s a birther

I’ve gone to bat for Leeann 100 times this last month hoping she’d at least reveal her whole truth too but she ghosted me. I know every single detail of this political manipulation. KABC should lose their license. Promoting a fraud is a federal offense & FCC violation. https://t.co/QY1Cxne5tw

At the very same time that we are asking Franken to resign from senate — we are allowing an accused child molester to run for senate.
At the very same time that “Silence Breakers” is the #TimePersonOfTheYear — a self professed pussy grabber was runner-up.#MeToo
