“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.

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.
