Sioux City, Iowa (CNN) — Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defended her decision to call on former Sen. Al Franken to resign after allegations of unwanted touching and kissing were made against him, earning praise from a friendly audience of Iowans in Sioux City on Friday.
Gillibrand, who was first to call on Franken to resign, clearly came prepared to answer questions about the Minnesota Democrat, whose ouster after a series of allegations in 2017 remains a contentious issue for the party. Some on the left, including a number of top Democratic donors, believe Franken was pushed out too quickly, while others think he got what he deserved.
Gillibrand said Friday that she made the decision to help push him out because "my silence meant I was defending him and carrying his water, which I was unwilling to do."

Wasn’t Franken elected by vote fraud?
# = pound.
#metoo the left’s mantra
Yes. They harvested a bunch of votes in Minneapolis.
Plus he is a New Yorker, not a Minnesotan, so there’s that.
Why not call for Keith Ellison to be gone too?
Well Gillabrand was evidently not 100% progressive. Instead of their normal double standards, her standards were only 1 1/2. (Don’t really now how that would work, but it sounds nice.) :-)
‘..believe Franken was ousted too quickly.’
They treated him like he was a republican. Amazing what an upcoming election will make people do..
Why not call for Keith Ellison to be gone too?

He’s a muslim so he gets a pass. Beating up women is ok for them.
Wasn’t she good buddies with Harvey Weinstein? Did she ever speak out against him?
Yep muslims are accepted by the left to hate Jews , Israel, Christians, and then demand Sharia law to take our rights away. So when Linda Sansour leads the women’s march how many stupid women will be following her and not knowing about her bigotry, and radical agenda.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I caught a minute of her on tv this morning. They asked what she thought about Debbie Washerwoman Schultz backing out.
Muslim Linda said it was good because Debbie was a fired DNCer who rigged elections.
It’s fun to watch the left eat their own.
>>some on the left, including a number of top Democratic donors, believe Franken was pushed out too quickly
some on the Left believe that the rules don’t apply to Democrats
Stalinists lie. Always
Franken stole his seat in the courts through manufactured votes and an shifting definition of what was or was not voter intent.
Franken’s stolen seat was the vote needed to anally force Obamacare into law.
Yep.
LOL Love it. Maybe Sansour does not like her due to her being Jewish, mmmmmmm
scary how you nailed Franken’s win in the fewest words possible.
I would add not caring to your above comments.
I have never saw, never read about a Country or Nation that some of its inhabitants, hated it so much that they over a period of generations, worked with all their might over a period of generations to destroy. Even during the Communist revolutions of Eastern Europe and Asia the peasants believed that they were working to better their Countries as they worked for the Communists. Those who are hard at work to destroy the United States from within have no such delusions. Their sole motive is an intense, rabid, raging hatred for America.
Yep - now I want to hear her say how it was wrong for folks to use a much older comment to attack Paula Deen....as it is, there’ll be one less cat in the Dem Primary fight....
