I personally thing that every headline that says he has resigned is fake news. He has not even set a date. “in the coming weeks” is no date at all. And I don’t consider it a resignation. It is simply a stalling technique that democrats are so good at.

HE HAS NOT RESIGNED!

****Franken has yet to resign. Promise of some day in the future.****

He’s playing poker! Waiting for Roy Moore to be elected and then claim he, Franken, did nothing worse than the Alabama
Senator-elect; that Minnesotans deserve the same consideration.

Las Vegas odds on it:)

So what was his standing up there in the Senate all about?......Just another Demorat Grandstanding to have face time to spew his stuff. Once again proving how vile they can be when they are standing on quick sand trying to grab onto something to save their hides.

These accusations will be part of every major election going forward.

Agreed.

And who among us is pure enough to past the new left-instituted purity challenge?

Franken won't officially resign (leave) until after Roy Moore is elected, then, he'll say, "I'm not leaving unless Roy Moore does too." (You Just Watch)

Yes, it'll be some variation of that angle.

Agreed.

The Democrat/commie strategy is not going to work ANY more! We are not going to give up on our Candidates for political SMEARS.

Republicans are OWED two mulligans. One for Ted Kennedy and the other for Bill Clinton. Even though there is no proof of wrong doing, we want our Senator and our President! We will let you know which President and which Senator in future weeks!

Like Hollywood Dem/commies are struggling to figure out their “standard of decency,” that is virtually impossible without religious values. Communists have no religious values as documented in their 20th Century history. Treating women as sex objects is pretty standard.

We don’t believe any of you or Fishlip’s dog & pony resign show. All those Women Democrat Senators were just groped by your political party! As if you had any gravitas to get ole Fishlips to resign! So funny! Swallow it girls!

>> Norm didn’t just sit idly by in that election. The case went all the way to the Minnesota supreme Court. I don’t see how you say Norm stood by and let Franken steal the election when it went through the courts, with the election not decided for months. What am I missing? <<

I'm seeing this history revisionism that "Coleman sat by and did nothing while Franken stole the election" repeated on FR a lot lately.

The truth, of course, is that Franken didn't manage to get the stolen seat until July 7 because Coleman had been fighting tooth and nail since November to contest Franken's phony 312 vote margin "win" in his third recount. Numerous "conservatives" here refused to lift a finger to help him and said Coleman "deserved to lose" because he was a "RINO"

Perhaps we should resurrect some threads from 2008, given how many are trying to rewrite history.

Thank you for this information.

Yes revisionist history, or faded memories, are not helpful here.

As you note, it wasn’t until July 7th, a full eight months after the election, that Al Franken was declared the winner. Norm Coleman and the GOP fought it through the court system. I’m not sure what exactly some people expected the Republicans to have done that they didn’t do, to get a favorable outcome in that election.

While the court ruling was disappointing, the GOP and Norm Coleman did all they legally could.

That door swings both ways! If Moore is elected, he too can say "I won't resign until Franken does also." Mexican standoff.
