WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing growing demands for him to resign, Minnesota Sen. Al Franken will make an announcement on Thursday.

That's the word from the Democrat's office on Wednesday.

Franken's support among his fellow Democrats is collapsing as a host of female Democratic senators called upon him to quit.

Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., all called on Franken to step down.

And, just where oh where were these calls to resign for former and alleged president Bill Clinton?

And, AND...

What justifies the abundance of tolerance and disinterest regarding candidate Hillary's shielding, defending, enabling, and (one suspects) abetting Mister Clinton's immoral, unseemly, and (one suspects) in some cases illegal sexual history?

Hmmm?

I wonder how much pressure Klobuchar is under to join in on this.

Dayton might well appoint himself...

(Didn’t this happen once in MN already?)

The golem is a great analogy.

Ironically it was the basis of the Frankenstein story!

If I were Franken, I’d tell those Demo witches to sit on it.

Spot on.

The Dems will hold the MN Seat and then target a weak GOP senator.

if he resigns his replacement will likely be muslim Keith Ellison who will be even worse than Franken . . .

. . . who might also prove to be a bigger albatros than Franken come 2018.

Don't forget that Trump actually came close to winning Minnesota. The last time a GOP presidential candidate actually did that was in Nixon's 49 state landslide of 1972. Although Reagan came even closer than Trump in 1984 . . . a shift of less than 3000 votes would've made it the first unanimous electoral college vote since George Washington.

The senate seat is statewide. There is no “Jewish” seat. There are probably more mud-slimes than Jews in MN anyway.

Exactly, especially if its a nice clean fresh liberal who is not a former clown/comedian and who doesn’t have the personality of an a-hole. Mark Dayton will probably appoint a female (who won’t harass anyone) who is even more liberal and who can then run as the incumbent.

Yeah, kicking exposed and damaged Franken out is really a win for our side /s

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I want him to stay and be the butt of criticism for the next three years. Replacing him with another Democrat just gives the appointee a bully pulpit.
