Dem Sen Durbin: Franken Leaving Should ‘Establish a National Standard’ For Roy Moore

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) leaving the U.S. Senate should “establish a national standard” on how the Senate deals with Alabama GOP Senate hopeful Roy Moore if he wins.

Partial transcript as follows:

DICKERSON: Joining us now is Senate Democratic Whip Richard Durbin. He is in Springfield, Illinois. Welcome, senator. I want to pick up on something that Senator Collins said about the choice that senators may face if Roy Moore is elected in Alabama. And the question is: What business does the Senate have in overturning the will of the people of Alabama if he is elected? Senator Collins said that’s a very tough decision. What’s your sense of it?

DURBIN: Well, John, I can tell you this. First, the decision is to be made by the voters in Alabama on Tuesday. And I hope that they will do the right thing in terms of defining their standards and values when it comes to people representing them in Washington. But we have heard from Republican senators first who have suggested that if Roy Moore ends up being elected to the Senate, he would face close scrutiny, investigation, even removal from the Senate once he arrives.

Apples and oranges: questionable/flatly falsified and biased hearsay `testimony’ from decades ago (which Moore denies), versus recent, documented wrongdoing which Fish Lips admits and so resigns (sort of).
Only Dreamin’ Dick Durbin could make a comparison like this one between matters that have nothing in common factually except for politics.

Franken is still there and there is a LOT of recent proof of some of his escapades while there is zero proof of anything they claim against Moore....some “standard”....

can't stand franken but it looks to me like he's almost touching as in mock touching. Maybe his fingertips are barely touching thick clothing but there's shadow under most of his hands. In other pics of him grabbing butts, the women are all smiling. All the rest are allegations. He thinks he's still a comedian. That's why "he remembers things differently". To him, it was just goofing around, Al being Al. Bad humor to be sure, as his has always been. Dems turning on him is merely throwing him under the bus in hopes of doing the same to Moore and Trump. A useful idiot to the commie left, riding coat tails of the weinstein thing. The ends justify the means. There is no issue, only the revolution.

Dick Durbin REFUSED to vote to impeach Bill Clinton.

Dick Durbin has ZERO credibility on the establishment of any "national standard" as it pertains to sexual harassment. He protected a documented Sexual Harasser/Sexual Abuser/Adulterer/Perjurer.

ZERO Credibility.
