Al Franken pitched SNL skit about raping Leslie Stahl

Democratic Senator Al Franken - who has been accused of kissing a woman without her consent and pretending to grope her in a photo - once pitched an SNL sketch about raping a journalist, it has emerged.

The remarks were made in 1995, when Franken and other writers on the show were working up a sketch about then-60 Minutes host Andy Rooney finding a bottle of pills in his desk, New York Magazine reported at the time.

As the team batted ideas around, Franken suggested that the pills might be used by Rooney to drug Lesley Stahl at which point he would 'take her to the closet and rape her'.
