A prominent donor to the Democratic Party says she is considering withdrawing support for senators who urged their colleague Al Franken to resign after he was accused of sexual misconduct.
The donor, Susie Tompkins Buell, has been one of the Democratic Party’s most generous supporters for decades. In particular, she has been a champion of female politicians, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Maria Cantwell of Washington.
Last month, those senators were among the dozens who called for Franken to resign from the Senate after at least six women accused him of sexual harassment or misconduct, such as forcible kissing and groping.

Democrats are in tatters. It’s like Abbot and Costello’s “Who’s on first” with them.
It’s hilarious to watch. But, sad to see.

IOW, the Demagogic Party's deep-rooted hypocrisy continues. Bravo, you ruthless golddigger. Thanks ButThreeLeftsDo.

It’s okay, everything’s lining up for Garcetti to come riding to the rescue. Time to make the US look like Los Angeles with the massive tent cities on every single street...(which of course he’ll blame on Trump.)
