This is a ploy, if he resigns they can then use it as leverage to have Roy Moore resign, then they win Alabama.
-
I am glad the democrats are standing strong against Al Franken. I think the democrats have always had strong values. This 100% demonstrates it.

I don't think so. Unlike the dems that have admitted it, Moore admit nothing and so far no proof has been made except a few Trump hating women and Gloria Allred showing some kind of note in a supposed Yearbook that when asked to see, she couldn't or wouldn't produce and Im pretty sure he said that wasn't his writing. Again, if the hard proof is there, get his ass out but at this point it's another Soros political witch hunt. Remember, liberals, in general, ain't that bright.

If the issue doen’t fade between now and 2018, it will work in favor of Democrats. Right now they seem to be more decisive on it (Conyers, Franken) than Republicans (Moore, Trunp). Plus the Republicans are the “family values” party so they have greater risk of looking like hypocrites. White, suburban women are who matters here because they care about this issue more than other groups and they flip back and forth between voting Democrat and voting Republican.

Al Franken Announces He Will Resign from Senate Amid Harassment Allegations
By YAMICHE ALCINDOR and NICHOLAS FANDOSDEC. 7, 2017
WASHINGTON — Senator Al Franken of Minnesota announced Thursday he would resign “in the coming weeks” from the Senate after his support among Democrats crumbled, becoming the highest-profile casualty in the growing list of lawmakers felled by charges of sexual harassment or indiscretions.
“I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Mr. Franken said.
His references to both President Trump, who has been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior including harassment and assault, and Roy S. Moore, the Republican nominee for an Alabama Senate seat who faces allegations that he molested teenagers, followed Mr. Franken’s steadfast denial that he himself had done anything wrong.

Al Franken Resignation: Here’s Every Sexual Misconduct Allegation That Led Senator to Resign
By Marie Solis On 12/7/17
Here is a list of every allegation that contributed to Franken's decision to step down:
1. Leeann Tweeden
Tweeden was the first woman to go public with accusations against Franken, breaking her silence with a story on KABC, the Los Angeles radio station where she works as an anchor.
Trending: Out of Africa: Prehistoric Humans Left Africa 60,000 Years Earlier than We Thought
According to Tweeden, Franken forcibly kissed her when they were rehearsing a skit Franken wrote for a USO show.
"He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss," Tweeden wrote. "I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss, and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth."
Tweeden also accused Franken of once groping her breasts while she slept, an allegation she bolstered with photographic evidence.
In a statement addressing the allegations, Franken said, "I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann. As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t. I shouldn’t have done it."
2. Lindsay Menz
Menz came forward with her accusations days after Tweeden, claiming Franken grabbed her rear while they were posing for a photo at the 2010 Minnesota State Fair.
Menz said when she and Franken went to pose for the photo, the senator pulled her in "really close, like awkward close" and put his hand "full-fledged" on her rear as her husband snapped the photo.
"It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek," Menz told CNN. "It wasn't around my waist. It wasn't around my hip or side. It was definitely on my butt. I was like, 'Oh my God, what's happening?'"

Franken issued a statement to CNN, saying he had no memory of taking the photo with Menz.
"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture," Franken said. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
3. Anonymous Women 1 and 2
Two women brought their stories of feeling violated by Franken to The Huffington Post on the condition of anonymity, both recounting times Franken allegedly grabbed their rears.
The first woman, a 38-year-old book editor who lived in Minneapolis at the time of Franken's alleged advances, said the incident occurred when she posed for a photo with Franken after performing in a feminist choir at a Minnesota Women's Political Caucus event in 2007.
"My mother loves Al Franken," the woman told the outlet. "I saw him and asked if we could take a photo together for my mother, and we stood next to each other...and down his hand went."
The second woman said Franken groped her rear at the senator's 2008 fundraiser at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. When Franken later introduced himself to the woman and her friends, she was taken aback by Franken allegedly putting his arm around her waist and then moving it lower to "cup" her butt.
"I felt like I didn’t have a voice," she told HuffPost. "This man had all of the power, all of the authority. In addition, he is a white man, and I am a woman of color. I was 21 years old. And I was afraid that he would use all of those privileges to discredit me, to make me feel even smaller than I already felt."
4. Stephanie Kemplin
Kemplin, an Army veteran, accused Franken of groping her breast when he visited American troops stationed in the Middle East with the USO. She was 27 at the time.

Like many of Franken's other accusers, Kemplin said the alleged incident happened when she posed for a photo with the senator, who at the time was working as a comedian.
"When he put his arm around me, he groped my right breast," Kemplin told CNN. "He kept his hand all the way over on my breast. I've never had a man put their arm around me and then cup my breast. So he was holding my breast on the side."
She told the outlet she was plagued with racing thoughts in that moment, wondering if Franken had grabbed her breast by accident and if he would move his hand. She said he didn't.
"I was in a war zone.... You were on a USO tour—are you trying to boost the morale of the troops or are you trying to boost your own?" she said. "I just feel so sorry for that young girl in that picture."
5. Former elected official
A former elected official who was granted anonymity by Jezebel told the site Franken once attempted to give her a "wet, open-mouthed kiss" on the mouth while the two were onstage for a 2006 event. Instead, he managed to plant it on her cheek.
"I was stunned and incredulous," said the woman, who had been working as the chairwoman of her town's Select Board at the time. "I felt demeaned. I felt put in my place. It was onstage in front of a full theater.... It was insidious. It was in plain sight, and yet nobody saw it."
The woman said she wanted to come forward because she hoped Franken might "take personal responsibility for his actions, learn from this, not repeat this behavior and go forward with respect in all his interactions with women."
6. Former congressional aide
A former congressional aide came forward on Wednesday with an account not dissimilar to the former elected official's. In an interview with Politico, the unidentified woman accused Franken of attempting to kiss her without her consent following a taping of his radio show in 2006.
“He was between me and the door, and he was coming at me to kiss me. It was very quick, and I think my brain had to work really hard to be, like, ‘Wait, what is happening?’ But I knew whatever was happening was not right, and I ducked,” the former aide said in an interview. “I was really startled by it, and I just sort of booked it towards the door, and he said, 'It’s my right as an entertainer.'"
In a statement to Politico, Franken called the allegations "categorically not true."
"The idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous," he continued. "I look forward to fully cooperating with the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation."
7. Tina Dupuy
Dupuy, a freelance journalist and former communications director on Capitol Hill, said she was groped by Franken in 2009 at a Media Matters party following President Barack Obama's inauguration.
In a piece for The Atlantic, Dupuy said she'd asked for a photo with Franken at the party because he was a hero of her foster mother's. When they went to pose for the shot, Dupuy said, Franken put his hand on her waist and squeezed her "at least twice."
"It shrunk me. It’s like I was no longer a person, only ornamental," Dupuy wrote. "It said, 'You don't matter—and I do.' He wanted to cop a feel and he demonstrated he didn't need my permission."

Libs think that by getting Franken out that this somehow allows them to go after Trump to resign.
Delusional.

That’s delusional, of course. But the impact on votes in 2018 and 2020 not the least bit delusional (potentially)

i never believed i would say it.. but fake news msnbc.. in PARTICULAR fake news morning joe show.. is a reminder of what the 3rd reich propaganda in the early 1930s was like only towards the other extreme.. yesyes,,
obviously by now you have heard me sceaming and barking for months about that fake news show and the pill head neo fascist feminist "host" ::) mika brazizinski who is in reality the privileged unstable on anxiety pills and other cocktail of head pills.. any sane individual can notice it.. daughter of brejniev brazizinski who was atleast worthy of the position he held.. but his disgraced nasty pill head daughter is shame! for journalizm,,
then you got joe scarbarow.. a fake wanna be pop star/radio host/president.. the list go on and on and on..
he fucked! mika braziziznski while they both hosted the fake news show.. they both fucked while they worked together.. nothing happened to this fakes.. they didn't lost their jobs.. they were allowed to fuck eachother and the pill head whore was allowed to step on her ex husband like he was nothing.. all while lecturing others on political correctness about sexual arrasment in work places..
fake news msnbc is sick disgusting.. 3rd reich propaganda like chanel.. it is breaking the law daily! spitting on the constitution of America daily! spitting on the president of the American nation daily!
i believe mika brazizinski is a sick and ill! female
the show is a failed show that is followed due to the lies and deceive which is part of generation nothingness social and cultural post Hussein Obama structure..
the all crew on that show is disgraced!
the only comfort is that they fuck their own deep state.. they just fucked al franken.. and hopefully will fuck many other communists but this neo fascism went too far! the show should be cancelled or go a deep make over which is impossible to do on that fake news msnbc chanel
the chanell today pretty much represent the early 1930s propaganda lead by the third reich.. this is my honest opinion.. it is straight out 1930s all over again against a real good INDEPENDENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
there is a lot of dirty laundry that can come out on joseph scarborow and the pills he took for his "back pains".. a lot of dirty laundery.. same for the medications mika brazizinski is on,,
my recommendation is as follows--
lay off president Donald j trump and the sooner the better because you will dig yourself in a hole you wont be able to get out of and end up being fired from fake news politically correct msnbc!
