Are Democrats Really Going to Take Out Al Franken This Unfairly & Dangerously?

[Soph0571]

After an avalanche of Democratic senators calling for their colleague Al Franken to resign due to a series of sexual harassment allegations, it sure seems like his days are numbered. As a conservative, there was a time, not at all long ago, when I would have rejoiced at the demise of such far-left zealot.

However, based on what we currently know, I believe this situation is the most unfair and dangerous takedown of a prominent politician in recent memory. In my view, Democrats should be humiliated for engaging in what is clearly a strategic knifing of Franken in an effort to better position themselves to attack Donald Trump and Roy Moore, two people against whom have been leveled far more serious and credible allegations of sexual abuse.

Is he being thrown under a bus?

1. Yep.

Because taking the high road has always worked out so well.

[LisaL]

12. Yep, that's why Hillary was elected and not the guy who was accused by multiple women of harassment

Oh wait.

[hlthe2b]

2. apparently so.

I'm disgusted with how this is being handled.

3. To me, this is stupid beyond belief.

4. Yes, Minnesota Public Radio just announced he's resigning tomorrow.

5. If Franken resigns, I hope that it will trigger Trumps accusers to come out again.

It defies all logic that a serial sexual abuser sits in the White House and that an accused child molester will likely be sworn into the Senate. 😠😠😠

6. I think it is dangerous,...

at this point

- seems like a witch-hunt

7. They sure are.

It is shameful.

[GoCubsGo]

8. Yes. He is being thrown under a bus, and rolled back over and over again.

And, yes. The Dems who are calling for his resignation are shooting themselves, and the rest of us in the foot. Sickening. Just sickening.

9. Sometimes we eat our own,

like this time.

Pissed beyond words....

[pamdb]

10. I think he shouldn't resign

What happened to this ethics committee that was supposed to happen?

This whole thing is beginning to resemble the hysteria that surrounded the Salem witch trials in the late 1600's. Especially when they are anonymous.

[LisaL]

11. Yes.

Because we go high and then we lose.

13. Call Sen. Franken's office and leave a message of support

No resignation without actual proof. [phone].
