Dec 13 (Reuters) - Minnesota's Democratic Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith was appointed as U.S. senator on Wednesday to replace Al Franken, who resigned after being accused of sexual harassment, the state's governor said at a news conference.
Governor Mark Dayton said that Smith will serve a one-year term in the Senate, concluding in January 2019. Smith, 59, will run in a special election for the seat next year.
Smith became lieutenant governor in January 2015. The Star Tribune said she previously worked as Dayton's chief of staff and held positions at General Mills and Planned Parenthood.
Last week Franken, 66, also a Democrat, announced his resignation from the seat he has held since 2009. The former comedian has denied some of the allegations against him and questioned others. Reuters has not independently verified the accusations against Franken.
Minnesota will soon have two women senators, as Smith will join fellow Democrat Amy Klobuchar, 57, who became the state's first woman senator after winning election a year ago.
The Republican Party's slim majority in the Senate will not be affected by the move to replace Franken.
Democrats will gain a seat to cut Republican's majority in the 100-member Senate to 51 after Tuesday night's victory by Doug Jones over Republican candidate Roy Moore in a special election in Alabama.

LOL! I wonder if Al knew about this. He never did resign.
Did you know she (Lt. Gov. Tina Smith) is a Planned Parenthood Apostle of Abortionism?
lol.......
A whole lot of blood on that woman’s hands. She deserves, as all people with any relationship to PP, a special place in Hell! Abortion is the Crime of the Ages, continuing to kill innocents in the womb.
Everybody is focused on PP, but she was also in marketing at General Foods. Can you say sugary cereals?

Don’t think that would move a whole lot of voters, everybody loves their sugar.
Islam is a religion of peace!!

Oh, thanks for that.....I keep forgetting.
lololol
Yeah, the fiery explosions kinda drown out the NWO propaganda, most of the time.....
But, it’s back to the spin and lies, ASAP, while the fires are still burning and people are being carted off to hospitals or worse.
My mistake, General Mills.
I thought for sure it would be the muslim.
rock, paper, sissors
muslim, comedian, woman
woman dishonors muslim
mulsim beheads comedian
comedian gropes woman
I didn't know that he had either, and I can't find any confirmation of that.
If he actually does resign, then it means one thing: The Dems are going to push hard on the "Trump must resign just like all the honorable Dems do" agenda.
I just wish he would act rather than react.
I DETEST the Tweeting.
.
Does this mean Franken is actually leaving?
What? No special election like they did in Alabama?
*Maybe this is part of a larger scheme...
During the “formal” Soviet years, both Lenin and Stalin executed millions of men and boys at various times, both in and outside of Russia, as men were deemed to be too unpredictable and possibly independent from the will of those actually in power at the top.
As such, women were strategically and commonly placed in positions of authority over men to disrupt and subjugate men to the socialist state!
Even in the late 80’s and 90’s, I witnessed this. When the question was asked, why are so many women in positions of authority, this was the explanation given by a female member of the Russian Poliburo and Parliament!
**Why would a religious and militant global socialist party and agenda here, ESPECIALLY IN THE US, not require and rely on men being neutered and turned into docile sheep? For the socialist to have their way, it seems men will again need to be herded and in some cases eliminated!
At the very top, there may not be a female, however, females in positions immediately under the top, armed with willing police and soldiers, can be serve to vastly expand the will of the top socialist totalitarian!
It's been all downhill since the 19th Amendment...
Put in the senate, not the electric chair for her mass murder of humans, innocent ones at that.
