Lindsay Menz says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. ... Menz told the network that when the first-term senator walked in to the booth, Menz and her husband, who also spoke with CNN, recognized him right away. Menz said she had a brief and cordial exchange with the senator. Then as her husband held up her phone and got ready to snap a photo of the two of them, 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,” she told CNN, recalling that the brazen act lasted three or four seconds. “I was like, oh my God, what’s happening.” Husband Jerry Menz told CNN that Franken “reached around her and kind of pulled her into him. He pulled her in and pushed his head against her head. It was over pretty quick.” Lindsay Menz told CNN she walked away as soon as the photo was taken, without saying anything to the then-first term senator. When she reconnected with her husband moments later, she told him: “He totally grabbed my butt.” Menz’s mother, Jodi Brown, also told CNN that she discussed the incident with her daughter immediately after it happened. She said she distinctly recalls her son-in-law saying to her: “Our senator just groped my wife right in front of me.”
