Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., should resign from the Senate after seven women accused the Democratic senator of sexual misconduct.

“The daily barrage of allegations of sexual misconduct against Senator Franken are extremely concerning to all of us in the Senate,” the Kentucky Republican said in a statement. “While the Senate Ethics Committee is reviewing these serious allegations, it now appears that Sen. Franken has lost the support of his colleagues, and most importantly, his constituents.

“I do not believe he can effectively serve the people of Minnesota in the U.S. Senate any longer.”

Reminder: McConnell thinks the people of AL should decide if child molester Roy Moore should be in the Senate, but he thinks Franken (who punked a fellow conservative female entertainter with a rude pic, and who put his hand on the waist of a woman who requested a pic with him) should resign.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Up is down, and down is up, in this wacky world of politics. Sheesh.
