I heard this on Tucker. Either there is something else, or Ryan wants Franks gone because he is a Freedom Caucus guy. From the story the staffer on Tucker told, this sucks.
Franks' former staffer who just appeared on Tucker Carlson's show was excellent, very credible. Wish we had a video of her appearance. If these two "uncomfortable conversations" with staffers is why Franks feels he needs to resign, this is absolutely tragic.
Maybe that video will appear here later tonight:

We have a guy like him locally, perfect voting record, perfect (if extreme) rhetoric, adoring followers. But a total dirtbag, especially with women. A wife beater, a gun waiver and a manipulator. Truly the worst of all combos BECAUSE he is so good in his public face. He pollutes the party and the party bows down to him.
