Democratic Minnesota Sen. Al Franken issued an apology for recent accusations of inappropriate touching during photos and said that he is committed to earning back his constituents’ trust.
“Some women have found my greetings or embraces for a hug or photo inappropriate, and I respect their feelings about that,” Franken said in the statement issued to CNN. “I’ve thought a lot in recent days about how that could happen, and recognize that I need to be much more careful and sensitive in these situations.”
“I feel terribly that I’ve made some women feel badly and for that I am so sorry, and I want to make sure that never happens again,” Franken said. “And let me say again to Minnesotans that I’m sorry for putting them through this and I’m committed to regaining their trust.”
