Now he’s resigned, saying he will be leaving “within a few weeks”. The creep wants to wait til Moore gets in, then plans to vent his spleen on him to do as much damage as he can.

Franken’s ‘resignation’ is like a Wimpy hamburger joke:

“I’ll gladly resign in the future for a hamburger today”

on his ‘way out’ he had to call the president a serial abuser, and accuse more of being a pedophile- apparently he thinks accusations are facts- He didn’t even own up to his assaults on women- and basically excused himself by falsely claiming that the two he mentioned are ‘much worse’ than he is-

Good riddance franken

What is this? It’s like an episode of Star Trek. He’s stepping into the transporter but it’s having trouble transporting him so he’s slowly fading away?

"This sets a precedent that anyone accused must step down."

Well, the guy took a smiling selfie of himself groping a sleeping woman. There's some pretty irrefutable evidence.

Especially since we’re sure that behind the scenes, the dems are doing damage control, trying to keep the ones who were paid off from speaking up and have to resign as well.

Franken promises at some future date ... at 165 years old when Strom Thurmond resigned from the Senate and not one day later. /sarc

Let us not forget, the only reason Franken made it into the Senate was the RATs kept “finding” enough votes to get him “elected” in the first place.

He didn’t “resign”. He said that he would in the future. He is a known liar so what do you believe?

Sacrificed to the ‘Rats’ desire to, first, get Moore when he shows up in the Senate and, ultimately, get Trump. They couldn’t keep the boorish pig Franken around and make a non-risable case for attacking Moore or Trump.

The ridiculous touting of Franken as a potential presidential candidate was just to puff up his status to make his defenestration equivalent to Trump getting impeached.

Fauxnews is satisfied:

OVER AND OUT
Democrat Al Franken announces resignation from Senate amid groping allegations

“Calling it “the worst day of his political life,” Sen. Al Franken said Thursday he will resign from the U.S. Senate following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against him that ranged from groping to forcibly trying to kiss women.”

Only in the reader comments is “coming weeks” mentioned.

Must have been written before he spoke.

So so sad. They have been pushing for Trump to step down only to have one of their own do it.

Franken said President Trump bragged of committing sexual assaults.

Lobbyists will wear a hole in the carpet of his office before “a few weeks” has passed.

Franken talked on and on giving us lesser folks a history lesson. He thinks we need instruction from him? How utterly stupid is he? Shut your mouth already, Franken.

Norm didn’t just sit idly by in that election. The case went all the way to the Minnesota supreme Court. I don’t see how you say Norm stood by and let Franken steal the election when it went through the courts, with the election not decided for months. What am I missing?

Whether this pig stays or goes makes no difference whatsoever.
