Just a reminder that Al Franken was railroaded!

I for one would like to have his voice in America about now. His words were always reassuring and encouraging at the same time. He is missed.

He was waiting for an investigation to clear his name.
One that Gilibrand chose not to wait for.

We need him so much NOW. I will never never never support Gillibrand in any way. I used to think I would grudgingly vote for her if she were the nominee. Not now when I see the damage she wrought to him, the Senate, and the country by her refusal to follow due process. I will support and vote for and donate to down-ticket Dems.
