Leeann Tweeden, news anchor for LA radio station 790 KABC, said in a statement that Al Franken "just kept persisting" to practice a kiss written into their comedy show. After relenting, she says he "sort of came at [her] and "mashed his lips against [her] face and stuck his tongue in [her] mouth."
Franken has said he will cooperate with an ethics investigation regarding the incident, and Tweeden said she accepts his apology: "People make mistakes."
