Following allegations from multiple women (and photographic evidence of at least one) of sexual misconduct, Senator Al Franken returned to work today and told reporters he was ’embarrassed’ and ‘ashamed,” while giving no indication that he would consider resigning.
‘I am tremendously sorry,’ the Minnesota Democrat, 66, told reporters at a news conference in Washington on Monday, repeating earlier apologies. ‘It’s going to take a long time for me to regain people’s trust.’
And in a somewhat odd statement of admission and contrition
‘I know I’m going to have to be much more conscious in these circumstances, much more careful, much more sensitive, and that this will not happen again going forward.”
