In reply to the discussion: What the Republicans will learn from the Franken debacle. [View all]rrrru4ril28
(7 posts)I am extremely upset at the Democratic party in the Senate right now. This has looked like a set-up from the get go. Al Franken volunteered to undergo an ethics investigation that neither Trump nor Roy Moore will submit to or any other investigation but rather yell lies and lying media. Ant yet here we have a party that will eat it's own. Isn't this suspicious? One of the more articulate and dogged Senators on the left. Now he is resigning and the Republicans are defending him. Trying to look good I guess or maybe they see the writing on the wall. At this current time in America any Democratic personality is subject to unsupported accusations and people like Kirsten will lead the charge to get them out. The threshold is now too low. Did Al Franken squeeze a bit when he put his arm around someone? Maybe. Who cares. He didn't try to grab their pussies or hold their breasts. It isn't even clear if he touched Leeann Tweeden's breasts in that picture and we had no chance to really hear from witnesses during that USO tour either now did we.
Did you notice the type of accusations kept getting a little bit worse, almost like someone wanted to find the threshold to bring down a Democratic politician. I am very upset right now. Al Franken was denied due process. So it goes and people like Kirsten Gillibrand deserve what she gets if some unfounded accusation comes her way.
