Donald Trump, who has yet to make a public statement (or write a tweet) concerning Roy Moore, A PEDOPHILE, but was quick to call out Al Franken last night for allegations — that Franken has conceded — of inappropriate sexual contact with Leann Tweeden.

The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps? …..

.And to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. Lesley Stahl tape?

The reason he hasn’t mentioned Moore, of course, is that Trump doesn’t want to alienate his base by calling him out for MULTIPLE allegations of sexual assault of TEENAGERS.

Bannon has also reminded Trump, who is gripped w fear about losing his base, that his base is mostly with Moore https://t.co/uv4eblQpEt

It backfired on him spectacularly, because even the major news organizations used their new 280 character limits on Twitter to mention Trump’s history with sexual assault in writing about the tweets:

Trump, who once bragged to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about grabbing women's crotches without their consent, says allegations against Al Franken are "real bad." https://t.co/T3euIthAlX

Trump, a Veteran of Sexual Harassment Accusations, Scolds Franken https://t.co/L99UAQv5ar

The rest of Twitter was far less kind:

this tweet is so childish Bryan Singer just invited it to his next pool party https://t.co/r7VcHtNjlo

Not a word from Trump about Roy Moore, accused by 8 women of being a child molester. He lashes out at Al Franken for something vastly less serious. And he flat out denies the stories of 16 women who have accused him of sexual assault.

Not only denies! Called the women liars, threatened to sue them and did long riffs at his rallies about how they were too ugly for him to assault! https://t.co/tf6zYUayLO

"Trump started kissing me open mouthed as he was pulling me towards him. I tried to push him away. I pushed his chest, put space between us & I said 'C'mon man get real' he repeated my words back to me 'Get Real' as he began thrusting his genitals" Summer Zervos #TrumpSexPredator pic.twitter.com/PBACLSIew9

Things @alfranken didn't do:

1. Lust after a 12 y/o
2. Watch a sex tape of now-grown 12 y/o w/ wifey
3. Warn 10 y/o girls he'll be dating them in a cpl of yrs
4. Declare he'd be *dating* his daughter but for darned incest
5. Walk in on undressed teens
6. "Grab her by the pussy" https://t.co/36jvC9T1wo

Truly, I hope there is audio of the next Democrat who is accused of sexual assault — and it is inevitable — saying “grab her by the p*ssy” verbatim, just so we can see how deep the GOP hypocrisy goes. It is remarkable, really, how quick the GOP is to call out opposing party candidates for their indiscretions while ignoring their own, while the Democrats are at least consistent in throwing all men to the wolves. Rightfully so.

Meanwhile, in case you need a refresher of ALL the sexual assault allegations that have been leveled against Trump, check this out:

In light of the "president" being all like "lol harassment" i'm going to just drop this here. Again. https://t.co/PppcuELKCG
