New Survey Finds Kamala Harris Has Big Support For A Presidential Run From Top Democratic WoC

[Celerity]

46. I looked up, a couple of days ago, every Democratic Senator on the Franken

issue. I did this because it is just poison here. I know of no other place on the web that I visit where I see this obsessed over. Certainly not in my real life.

What I found was that every single Democratic Senator except for five told him to resign in public or private. Klobuchar in private, for example.

3 of those do not even count as they were on the Ethics Committee snd thus couldnt say anything, even in private (Coons, Schatz, Shaheen). I am sure they would have joined with the rest and called for him to step down.

Bob Menendez was still in a federal corruption fight, and chose to not say anything. Again, I am sure he would have joined all the rest.

That leaves one. The ONLY one who actually ended up supporting Al and telling him to not resign was Joe Manchin.

All the rest told him to go or 4 said nothing due to legalities.

44 out of 49 said he should go, and pretty much 48 out of 49 Democratic Senators gave him no support.

Also, Gillibrand was far from the gangleader, as she is painted as. Multiple women Senators met for weeks, planning what to do. Schumer was aware, and did nothing to stop them.

Gillibrand gets shit on so hard because here tweet/statement was 15 minutes or so before anyone else's.

Major revisionism has made this whole thing crazy and so so divisive. It hurts us badly, IMHO.

Female Democratic senators coordinated a wave of calls for resignation

Nearly three weeks after sexual harassment allegations first emerged against Sen. Al Franken, a wave of Democratic senators — in coordination and following a flurry of text messages and phone calls — called for his resignation in rapid succession Wednesday morning.

Starting around 11:30 a.m. ET, the senators posted statements in a coordinated effort, one after the other, on social media, saying the Minnesota Democrat should step down.

Some comments were elaborate, lengthy and loaded with a moral message. Others, like that of Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, were straight to the point.


"Al Franken should resign," she simply tweeted.

Within the next 90 minutes, 16 Democrats -- 10 of them women -- and one Republican senator -- Susan Collins of Maine -- had publicly urged their colleague to vacate his seat.
