(10,905 posts)when we have fellow Dems willing to trash one another.
Franken has admitted to boorish behavior and frat-boy pranks. He's owned the incident (s) and apologized. Short of crucifying himself what else is required?
All things in the world of harassment are not equal. As thinking human beings we need to make distinctions. Al Franken does not = Roy Moore. Al Franken does not = Donald J. Trump or Blake Farenthold who paid out $84000 in taxpayer money for a harassment allegation. Where are the cries for Farenthold to resign??
Franken is a strong Democratic voice and fighter. He has openly invited an ethics investigation. So why preempt that investigation with a pointless purge?
Democrats excel at shooting themselves in the foot while allowing the right-wing to get away with murder.
Who needs enemies??
