People are calling for Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) to resign after a radio anchor accused him of kissing her and groping her without her consent.
Leeann Tweeden shared a photo of the senator posing with his hands on her breasts while she was asleep.
In light of these recent revelations, here are nine times Sen. Franken tweeted about the need to curb sexual harassment:
We must address sexual harassment. Reforming arbitration laws will ensure survivors can seek justice in court. https://t.co/Rmuz4gnie7

Sexual assault:
Deeply troubled by @BetsyDeVosED’s decision to undo guidelines on campus sexual assault. We need to make campuses more safe, not less.

.@BetsyDeVosED's decision to reverse guidelines on campus sexual assault threatens students’ civil rights. We must protect our students.

It's unconscionable to think someone could be evicted—or outright denied housing—bc they've experienced domestic violence or sexual assault.

I'm pleased we made steps to curb military sexual assault today, but I hope we can go further to bring justice to those affected. -Al
