MPR News agreed to withhold the official's name because the official wanted to give Franken the chance to talk about his decision in his own words.

Franken faced a cascade of calls Wednesday from fellow Democrats and other political allies to leave office in response to multiple allegations of sexual harassment.

His departure would require DFL Gov. Mark Dayton to name a successor. That person would serve until the 2018 election when Minnesota voters would fill it for the final two years of Franken's term.

[gdatruth]

[Dr. Truth]

Weak ass Democrat pussy ass faggits!!!

 

[Dark19]

A New Progressive Third Party is Badly Needed

 

[Shadow22]

First Congressman Conyers who put on for his folk and never will get the credit He rightfully deserves.

Now Breh Franken

 

[neoafrican]

Trump administration being investigated, but Democratic donors and government officials are falling like flies...

 

[Amajorfucup]

I always thought Franken was a homosexual... and those "groping" incidents were all tongue and cheek where the recipient was in on the joke.

Nah...I think it takes more courage to own your shit and do the right thing. Any clown can sit up there and lie and deny. Its pretty much expected. But to stand up in front of the world and say "yeah I fucked up. I don't belong here" takes balls.

The democrats are worried about feelings....

The republicans are worried about winning....

IMHO, both parties have been hijacked by their party extremist and neither are actually performing the will of not only their constituents but the country.

Fuck em both.

*two cents*

Just goes to show how soft democrats are.

I thought he was leaving on his own. Is he being forced out?

 

[yardy]

These Democrats get punked so easily, especially now in a time of crisis. Weak muthafukas need to keep their numbers and pressure on these repubs neck. 45 and his crew fucking up and they just laying back instead of applying that pressure.

 

[kirkout]

Yet, we have a pussy-grabber as President of the United States and an pedophile/ephebophile running for the US Senate both representing the Republican Party — the party of Christ. Smh.

Remember,this is the same political party that sided with the Republicans to defunct ACORN.The same ACORN that helped alot of black people before that incident happened.

I'm not saying,what Al Franken was right,but I find it funny that the Republicans can to the most vile shit and still keep their job.

 

[Mr. Met]

Limbaugh is going to go in and why shouldn’t he. Right wing hypocrites are immune to this shit right about now.

 

[BenQ]

that fake Ghostface Killah need to come back with another list

 

[alexw]

yes the female dems demanded he resign

 

[yureeka9]

Oh damn....that's fucked up. Well I hope they give punk ass roy moore hell when he gets in there!

Peace,

Cats who are in here saying that the Dems are soft need to acknowledge that there’s a difference between the party that they actively hate and the party that they passively dismiss. You can’t hate Repubs for what they do on one hand then lament the fact that Dems DON’T do those things on another.

C'mon bruh...democrats are getting smashed because they fail to fight back. We have a republican president grabbing pussy and a pedophile Senate candidate being supported. Yet democrats are giving up their seats like punks. I don't belong to either party. So you can't shame because I call them as I see it.

Exactly. Nothing will be done about a President accused of rape or Pedo Moore but Franken and Conyers have to bounce?

No. Dems tend to lose because they don’t regularly court the lowest common denominator and try to appeal to the basest instincts of their constituencies. Like I said, you cats argue that there’s no difference then complain about the difference.

 

[mozartte]

This shit has to be part of a bigger set up to fuck up Roy Moore. They will dismiss his ass from the Senate once elected. Oh yeah, I want Jones to win but the majority of black people can care less about that race in Alabama.

Exactly... These idiots are soo stupid its ridiculous.. The fucking repubs are just sitting back and watching these lame ass fuckers disarm themselves of some the strongest warriors they have, in name of taking the moral high road...All while the right is like "fuck dat"..They circling wagons to protect theirs in order to stay strong with the votes and push their fucked up agenda ...

I think women are going too far with this shit and are risking a serious backlash. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

 

[durham]
