Schumer Told Franken Wednesday Morning That He Needed to Go
Roll Call ^
| December 6, 2017

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer knew it was time for Minnesota Democrat Al Franken to leave the Senate even before the public calls for his resignation Wednesday. The New York Democrat told Franken in a phone call that he needed to resign after Wednesday mornings publication of further allegations of sexual misconduct by the senator, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
Thats despite the close friendship between the two lawmakers. Franken was a member of one of Schumers Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee classes and he provided the party with 60 votes in 2009 when he was sworn in after a lengthy recount and legal battle in his race against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman.

Franken and the CPUSA stole the seat via voter fraud in the first place.
Who are they going to install in his stead, a Somalian warlord?

Moore is not going to drop out, and he’s going to be elected. Schmucky Shumer knows this and is in full panic mode.

Yes, but Moore has at least a 7 point lead over the Demorat. If Franken goes, I doubt the Republican voters in Alabama will throw up their arms and say, “We won’t vote for Moore.”
