Do you remember back in 2014 a story that popped up about power director Bryan Singer, the man behind X-Men and The Usual Suspects? A male actor claimed that Singer hosted orgies where men and the director repeatedly raped him as a minor. Sources told TMZ that these types of orgies are common. Author Bret Easton Ellis said he knew all about Singer’s parties with boys and powerful men for years because he dated a man who participated and other gay men told him all about the parties at a dinner party in 2007.

A man has sued Singer for allegedly raping him in 2003 when he was only 17-years-old.

Up until Wednesday, the Democrat talking points on Franken's many alleged sexual misdoings were: 1) he made a "mistake" and 2) what Franken (allegedly) did was not nearly as bad as other recently unmasked sexual predators. The second may be true, but that doesn't make Franken's alleged actions (see also: allegedly sticking his tongue down a woman's throat without consent) excusable.
