President Trump has yet to comment on the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against Republican Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore, but he condemned Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), who was accused on Thursday of kissing and groping a woman for the camera in 2006.

"The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words," Trump tweeted Thursday night. "Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 while she sleeps? ….." He followed up with another tweet, still not about Moore. "And to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. Lesley Stahl tape?"
