Tom Arnold on Lying Tweeden




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

Enough others have come forward, and by Al's own admission there's something there. Al will be fine, and with this martyrdom we'll always have a visible "high road", taken by one of our own. Millennials are flocking from Trump, this display is just one more reason for them to come back (or come for the first time) to the Democratic Party. Many voted for and wanted Bernie, believing he was honest and HRC wasn't, this sacrifice should help with that quite a bit. Was Al perhaps a bit too frisky in his comic days? Probably, he admits as much. He's also willing to be an actual adult and take responsibility and in this case, resign for the greater good.
You did good, Al. You'll be missed- except for if you go back to SNL, PLEASE!
Or better yet- do a talk show..think of the damage he could do, like John Oliver and others. They disguise it as comedy, but man, Oliver hits the nose on the head every single show and exposes so much GOP buffoonery I guarantee you they hate his guts massively!

... political climate with people like Stone, Bannon and O'Keefe people in Washington are supposed to just take someones word for something like this without due process.

There was NOTHING moral about ignoring an investigation into this matter

is she back channeling information to Arnold? Why isn't she going public to clear everything up?

She's a tool.

13. So he waits to say this? I am not impressed with this man at all. He said nothing at the outset.

I really do not see him as a friend to Democrats. I just do not.
