This was an excellent, heartbreaking statement from Sen. Franken.

The process is so wrong.

Excellent and heartbreaking. We've allowed a strong Democratic voice to be extinguished without a public airing. Which merely invites more of the same.

Point up for Roger Stone and his cabal.

Any woman of my age (66) is more than likely to have been a target of inappropriate sexual advances
in the workplace. And yes, I was, more than once.

The way Sen. Franken has been treated by members of his own party is all so wrong. So wrong. This is an honorable
man with a good heart and a true friend of people who don't have a lot of money to buy preferential treatment from
their elected representatives.

The Democrats who urged him to resign have made a terrible mistake. Really awful tactical error.

Shame on them.
