Al Franken has absolution by republican theory

Al Franken has absolution by republican theory

A new republican meme is that Trump and Moore can have absolution by winning an election.

"Just ask White House officials, Republican lawmakers and right-wing pundits, who lately argue that an electoral win provides absolution for any past sexual misconduct."

Obviously Bill Clinton is now absolved for quite a bit.

.... I have come to the conclusion that part of what is driving this amateurish, bumbling crusade against Franken is fear of integrity. My opinion.
