Sexual harassment and misconduct should not be allowed by anyone and should not occur anywhere. I believe the best thing for Senator Franken to do is step down.

1. She's lost her doggone mind

They NEVER make Republicans step down. Never!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I'll give it a stab

GOP voters know Republicans are Deplorable and vote for them in spite of it. Our pitch is "Vote for us, we aren't Deplorable." This will move a few people who are on the fence. But to make that pitch you have to walk the talk.

[pintobean]

15. We're not Republicans

and I don't advocate we act like them.

[JustAnotherGen]

23. Really?

Could have fooled me!

[ollie10]

36. Franken has been set up by the Republicans and some Ds are doing their bidding

[LexVegas]

2. Not looking good for Franken. nt

[kcr]

5. Your posts are always so intelligent and insightful

How do you do come up with so many ideas, LexVegas? Tell us your secrets.

[kimbutgar]

3. No Kamala

I am disappointed in you.

No rethugs have resigned why should Franken?

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

4. Well there goes about 40 percent of her supporters

Wanting her to make a presidential run.

Out the proverbial window.

[BannonsLiver]

6. Well there's another I won't be voting for in 2020

Can't support Dems who self immolate because the Republican slime machine says so.

[Demsrule86]

12. I won't either...they have to be tough enough to fight the right wing smear machine.

[smirkymonkey]

35. She's lost my support.

NO Democrat should step down. Especially since no republicans are stepping down AND since what they have been accused of is so minor compared to what the republicans have done. Also, I don't believe 90% of it.

I am so sick of spineless Dems who turn on our own!

[Chasstev365]

7. Not with Moore (maybe) and Trump in office!

I am SO disappointed in Al and I want the voters in Minnesota to decided when Al is up again.

However, Democrats always "do the right thing", while Republican laugh, get away with murder, and consolidate their power.

We cannot always cave in when Republicans never do!

[nini]

8. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

this really disappoints me

[R B Garr]

25. Yup, when they come for her, and they will, she should just

pack her bags and leave. No questions asked. "They" want you gone, so just scoot along.

[Kimchijeon]

9. Kamala Harris touched my butt

NOW WHAT.

[OnDoutside]

19. I think this should not be accepted anywhere, anytime. She should obviously step down.

[ollie10]

38. Yup.....Guilty until proven innocent!!!

[woolldog]

40. If you're a man. nt

[kcr]

10. Well, Kamala. I believe the best thing is for us to stop voting for spineless wimps.

So you're off my list of potential candidates.

[gratuitous]

11. The second sentence doesn't follow from the first sentence

What is Sen. Harris' rationale for Sen. Franken to step down?

[MadDAsHell]

13. Only a few months after talking about her for 2020, time to throw Ms. Harris under the bus.

This is why we lose elections. We can never get out of our own way.

[quickesst]

16. A prime example...

.... of why Democrats get stepped on by the rethuglican party. Hell, they don't even bother to wipe their feet when they do it.

[riverwalker]

17. This is mass hysteria

and showboating. Resign for what??? Tweeden story has fallen apart, she lied about date /time of photo and was not “asleep”. The other claims were vague fanny pats during photos in public crowded venues. Annoying? Yes. Harassment? NO. The one with the boob claim from 14 years ago is just too bizarre to be credible. I cannot believe Roger Stone is going to win this one.

[CrispyQ]

30. Roger Stone isn't going to win this one, dem leadership is going to give it to him.

[dalton99a]

39. Perfect.

[Thrill]

18. lol Democrats waste no time throwing their own over the bridge

Saw Claire say the same thing. Yet nothing from Repukes on all their Congresmen.

How about a Claire and Harris call for Trump to resign?

[Kimchijeon]

33. lol yep and they know it. This is tooooo easy for 'em

fake accusations = dems will lynch our own over the fakest of fake horseshit, all too eager to roll over and please.

If we don't have the guts to stand up and fight this crap, we deserve what we get.

And frankly we are already getting it.

💔

[hexola]

20. We can only hope this forshadows some very BAD news for Trump

regarding sexual assault...and this is just an effort to appear consistent.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

21. This...

is why we goddamn lose. Always.

[lunamagica]

22. Oh, come on Kamala! Why don't you ask trump to resign?

You're off my list for 2020. We need warriors, not wimps

[R B Garr]

24. They will come for her, as well. This is foolish.

The "revolution" has a big part in this because they want to promote Keith Ellison. They will pull the same stunts on Harris. This is nuts.

[Corgigal]

26. It's his career and his life

Your opinion should stick with your personal sphere, unless you're voting for the electorate.

You think if he steps down it will stop? No, you just allowed Roger a Stone and his checkbook to find more. I guess we never fight back, and that makes us look weak. Great way to get those votes.

[JustAnotherGen]

28. They are trying him and convicting him

He is owed an ethics hearing.

[still_one]

27. I called her San Francisco office to express my disappointment. Franken has a right to the ethics

hearing, and that these Senators have completely ignored that tells me they don't believe that a person has a right to defend himself against his accusers through the ethics investigation, and that is troubling indeed

[JustAnotherGen]

29. +1000

What is the guilty until proven innocent nonsense?

[SHRED]

31. Disgraceful

Harris believes anonymous women over women in his staff who have stepped up to support him.

Harris has lowered herself with this move by preempting the Ethics Committee investigation.

A sad day for Progressives.

[AlexSFCA]

32. dissapointed in kamala for the first time

there are measures other than resigning, his misconduct is not equivalent to trumps or moore or Bill Clinton and others who did resign. This will set a very dangerous precedent where alt right can force other key dem congressmen into resignation, not to mention 2018 election, amplyfing accusation before voters get a chnce to verify anything. I am not at all optimistic about 2018. Geez, reps are about to elect pedophile with broad government support and we are forcing franken into resignation instead of sisciplinary action. I wonder what would Hillary say, she is one of the few rational democrats left.

[awesomerwb1]

34. Disappointing.

Very disappointing.

Circular firing squad as usual.

[Deb]

37. Now she too is in a position to prove it

or be accused of abuse of power if he does step down. What is it they don't get?

[ollie10]

41. Sorry, Kamala, you are totally NOT presidential material

Takes too much courage than she apparently has.

She is just piling on, hoping this helps her presidential prospects.

You won't get my vote, Kamala. Not after this.
