I wish he would stay and fight but with his own caucus against him, it looks bad.

(39,332 posts)Tom Arnold: Leeann Tweeden was 'coached' on Al Franken sexual assault allegations
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tom-arnold-leeann-tweeden-was-coached-on-al-franken-sexual-assault-allegations/article/2642803
Actor and comedian Tom Arnold claimed that the woman who was first to accuse Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., of sexually assaulting her was "coached."
In a series of tweets Wednesday night, Arnold said that Los Angeles-based radio broadcaster Leeann Tweeden's allegations were the result of a political attack involving longtime Trump confidante Roger Stone.
"Im disappointed with my friend Leeann Tweedon [sic]," he said. "Her partner at KABC John Phillips is a Roger Stone pal & they coached her for weeks to bring Al Franken down. Id hoped shed use her voice to speak out for all women again predators like Roy Moore & Donald Trump but shes a birther."
John Phillips is a CNN political commentator and right-leaning radio talk show host at the same station, KABC, as Tweeden.
Phillips denied that he was involved with Tweeden's decision to come out public with her accusations in November.
"Hey Arnie, first of all your friends name is spelled 'Leeann Tweeden,'" he replied to Arnold. "Second, we never talked about it before she went public. Third, I think ur a great comic and were fantastic on #Roseanne, but @therealroseanne was the genius on that show."
