If that could possibly be true is would have been true anytime since 1992 as well.

Resignations are only for R-squishes.

This has nothing to do with principles and has everything to do with preserving one of the left’s favorite weapons against conservatives.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Franken is gone before Monday. This is a rabidly leftist website calling for him to resign.

The hypocrisy of Franken’s reaction is galling.

I am calling fake outrage here. Sanctimonious. They just want to bludgeon Roy Moore or anyone like him.

Does the Gov appoint a replacement or is there an election or the first person to touch Al gets his job

A Franken resignation would not lead to a Republican pick up of that Senate seat. Mark Dayton would appoint a replacement and a Democrat would win a special election.

I’ll have to look at a few local whack job liberals on twitter I know for some entertainment.

I use a VPN and a browser that has never signed in on Twitter.

The RATs are more than willing to sacrifice Silly Al if it gives them more leverage on Moore.

Yes but the embarrassment that is Al franken would be gone.. Minnesota has some great people, who sadly tend to vote idiotically at times

It’s not sexual harassment. It’s sexual assault.

Personally I believe Steve Bannon has a file with incriminating evidence on dozens of Dem Senators. Don't you?

Franken drops, and the next one will appear.

I understand there is bias from the left on who gets in trouble for what, but
‘both sides’ need to taper this torrent of virtue signaling.
If everyone, man and woman, was prosecuted for everything they’ve done since birth to ‘offend’ somebody, there would be NO ONE LEFT to hold a job - anywhere.

In this instance, some of Al Franken’s actions do have to be viewed through a lens of ‘what comedians do in front of a camera’. Comedians are going to act up. Eddie Murphy used to do this sort of thing too. The girl is there primarily because she is sexy, sexy enough to be in Playboy Magazine. I guarantee that influences how other people will act around you. She was not in Afghanistan because she ‘helped invent the internet’ like Heddy Lamar.
