Another woman accuses Franken of groping

A woman ​said Sen. Al Franken ​grabbed her buttocks ​as they posed for​ a photo at the Minnesota State Fair, leaving her feeling “uncomfortable” and “gross,” ​​an accusation that comes just days after a former model said the Democratic lawmaker kissed and groped her in 2006, according to a report on Monday.

Lindsay Menz, 33, told CNN that she went to the fair with her husband and father in 2010, two years after Franken had been elected to the senate, and they stopped by a booth where local politicians were taking photos with their constituents.

As she stood next to the Democratic lawmaker waiting for her husband to snap a picture, Franken “pulled me in really close, like awkward close, and as my husband took the picture, he put his hand full-fledged on my rear,” Menz said. “It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek.”

“It wasn’t around my waist. It wasn’t around my hip or side. It was definitely on my butt,” ​Menz recalled, saying ​Franken kept his hand on her for three or four seconds. “I was like, oh my God, what’s happening.”

​​Former Playboy model and Los Angeles radio host Leeann Tweeden accused Franken of forcibly kissing and groping her during a USO tour in 2006 in an article she wrote for KABC last Thursday.

Tweeden also released a photo of a grinning Franken grabbing her breasts as she slept on a military plane.

Franken, in a statement to CNN,​ ​said he did not remember taking the photo with Menz ​but said he’s sorry that she felt disrespected.

“I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don’t remember taking this picture,” Franken said. “I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected.”

M​enz, who now lives in ​Frisco, Texas, told CNN the groping rattled her.

“I felt gross. It’d be like being walking through the mall and some random person grabbing your butt,” she​ said. “You just feel gross. Like ew, I want to wash that off of me.”

Franken, who apologized to Tweeden, has resisted calls to step down​ ​from a number of Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate the allegations leveled by Tweeden.

Menz, a ​stay-at-home ​mother of three children, said she told friends and family about her ​experience​ with Franken after Tweeden’s allegations surfaced last week and felt empowered to come forward.

“I don’t want to paint my story in the same light as hers,” Menz said, ​saying what happened to Tweeden is much worse.​ ​But “the reason I want to say something is if someone sees that I said something, maybe it would give them the courage to say something too.”

​She also said her decision wasn’t based on politics, noting that she has support Democratic and Republican candidates in the past and she and her husband voted for Donald Trump last year.

​She wasn’t sure if she voted for Franken in Minnesota. ​
