Morning Joe: “Cynical Politics” Behind Dem Ousting of Al Franken
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/07/2017 5:07:51 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The likes of Kirsten Gillibrand parade themselves as paragons of avenging feminist virtue in calling on Sen. Al Franken to resign. But the Morning Joe crew sees another motive behind the Democrat’s move to force Franken out: “cynical politics.”

Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough, and Willie Geist all made similar points: the move to defenestrate Franken is really about Democrats trying to give themselves the high ground on the issue of sexual misconduct. The Dems’ real target is Roy Moore.

Franken doesn’t want to resign, but he’s been told to resign by more than half of the sitting democrats in the senate as well as all the leadership... he’s gone... if it isn’t voluntarily they will do it involuntarily.

Franken has always been a douche and the longer he sticks around the more and more douche things will be coming out...

Any other time they would be rallying around to defend him but they need him gone for their desired narrative. 2018 will be all Moore and Impeachment all the time... that’s the Dems narrative and they need Dochebag gone for it not to be simply countered by, yes well what about Franken...

I don’t think that narrative is going to work other than in places the D was going to win anyway, but it’s clearly the narrative they want... the sad reality is however, Franken is hardly the only one and more will be coming

If anything, Moore is target practice.

And also a practice run for 2018. Count on this: every single Republican up for election in 2018 will have half a dozen women appears just weeks before election day.
