... and they'll all have to resign ?!?!
Because we DAMN WELL know folk like Bannon and O'Keefe and nEm have NO MORALS when it comes to any issue, they'll falsely accuse every dem pol if they have to ... they could give shit.
There should be investigations not jus knee jerk reactions, what is happening to Franken is some bullshit.
Come on Franken, don't give an inch on this IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO !!!

(26,751 posts)Politico (no alt-right rag) knows who the sources are and appears to have done appropriate vetting of the story. They're "withholding" the identity of the accuser... they aren't saying that they received an anonymous claim.
You have to believe that the reporter (and editorial staff) are lying in order to consider this latest story unreliable. If it were published on the breitbart website... that would be another thing.
Come on Franken, don't give an inch on this IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO !!!
He doesn't "have to" if the accusations are all lies. So if he resigns tomorrow... we'll all know why.

(90,347 posts)... wingers have assholes like O'Keefe's who are willing to pay people to make anonymous calls to credible sources.

Yes, because dem leadership have been known to be short term thinkers on issues like political fall out where as GOPrs show they don't give a damn.
Moral fall out is another thing WHEN people deserve and investigation
Frank deserves and investigation

(26,060 posts)THIS should have been the line in the sand and I'm tired of my party continually whimpering like whipped puppies in the face of gop BS. I want fighters, not scared little morons who don't know how to fight. Just what has been accomplished here other than giving the vermin republicans one less Democratic vote to have to deal with?
