Trump mocks Al Franken over resignation: He folded 'like a wet rag'

President Trump mocked former Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.) at a campaign rally in Minnesota Thursday for resigning following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

“That guy was wacky. Boy did he fold up like a wet rag, huh?” Trump said at a rally in Rochester in Franken's home state.

“He was gone so fast, I don’t want to mention Al Franken’s name, he was gone so fast,” he added.

Franken, who was previously considered a potential 2020 presidential candidate, was accused by eight women of sexual misconduct.

Franken announced his resignation in December after facing intense pressure from others within the Democratic caucus.

But I do want him back as a senator. I also want there to be a thorough investigation into the claims. We already know there is a Hannity connection, and I want to get to bottom of it.
