Senator Franken Voted Against Ambassador Friedman for Calling Him a "Clown" and a "Moron"

Sometimes truth really is the best defense.

All but two Democrats sided with J Street over Israel and voted against the confirmation of Ambassador Friedman. Republicans stood with the Jewish pro-Israel community. J Street lost. Jews and supporters of Israel won.

Of the Senate Dems who spoke against Friedman, all but one were recipients of sizable amounts of J Street money. J Street is the anti-Israel pressure group set up by George Soros. Schatz, Udall, Van Hollen and Leahy had all gotten cash from J Street.

Al Franken had not. But he had a better grievance against Ambassador Friedman.

"Mr. Friedman's offensive remarks don't stop there," Al Franken whined. "He even called me a clown and a moron."

Sometimes diplomacy means being diplomatic. But sometimes you just have to tell the truth.

Friedman sounds intelligent and honest. We need more people like him in the government.

I will never get Franken’s vote, because he is a clown and a moron...or should I say “moran”

Franken obviously looked in the mirror and confused his own reflection with Ambassador Friedman.

Probably the most effective defense against people calling you that is to stop being a clown and a moron. Course that's just a linear, cis-gendered, heteronormative, white Christian male perspective. [check your privilege] Liberals don't really do cause and effect, so I doubt if Weird Al (apologies to the normal Weird Al) will pick up on that.

Franken isn’t a clown or moron. He’s a piece of sh1t and traitor.

Takes one to know one.

It flabbers my gasket that these leftwing nutcases cannot see how ridiculous and hypocritical they are.

The D party leadership has sold the party out to the enemy (the Soroz and IslamoNazi conspiracy). It’s pitiful dangerous and disgusting. Needs big- time Swamp Cleaning ASAP.

or should I say “moran”

Why do you say "moran"?

The only meaning of that word of which I am aware of is "Warrior" in Maasai (or perhaps Swahili)

Franken is definitely not a 'warrior'. He falls more into this category:

Researches find poop-throwing by chimps is a sign of intelligence

Ahhh, the wonders of "science"!

IIRC, the Bugs Bunny term wasn't "moran", but "maroon". Just saying...

I’m surprised at Franken’s vote. I thought he was proud to be a clown and a moron.
