Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) took a cue from Jimmy Kimmel, reading mean tweets he's gotten about his support for Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in a video posted by her campaign.

Franken, who was a cast member on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" prior to his time in the U.S. Senate, has been tweeting his support for Clinton in the lead-up to the Minnesota caucus.

1. I love the ad

Obviously only the cleanest of the bad tweets were picked for the purposes of the ad.

2. You noticed that too, eh?

6. Oh ya!

3. President Obama read Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel.. it was priceless!

Thank you for this, rivers.. a great idea for Sen Franken to read them.. glad we have him and the Gov Mark Dayton on Hillary's/our side in Minnesota!

4. Thanks! The Franken link is definitely worth...

... passing on to my acquaintances.

5. That's a lot of women!

Somethings happening here!

7. No "binders full of women" needed, huh!

They seem to be roughly half the population...go figure!
Lots of women support Sec. Clinton, and in order for real democracy, we would need a whole lot more in government. How about one for POTUS? I think Hillary Clinton will be the perfect candidate to finally shatter the highest of glass ceilings.

8. I liked Al Franken long before the Senate, Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them,

Gosh Darn, I just like him.

It would have made no difference to me if he had chosen to support Sanders. He is a great, liberal Senator who works to make the lives of people better.

I am glad he is supports Clinton. His titanic fight form his first election showed that he is a fighter and that will to fight for what is right means a great deal.

11. That book was definitely part of my political awakening

2000 was the start, but reading books like his got me fully involved by 2004.

9. K&R. I'm so happy to see Senator Franken on our side!

[jsmirman]

10. So good!

Love Al and have been a supporter of his since his first campaign.

He's about as close to ideologically aligned with my positions as any politician out there.

12. K&R!

That was very pointed and very funny!

13. He should have read some of the really mean ones...

... but he's not on SNL anymore, I suppose.
