If the Al Franken gropping is real, he should resign as soon as:

[Chasstev365]

Roy Moore drops out and President Trump resigns!

Do I approve of this if true? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

However, I am sick of Democrats being held to one standard and Republicans to another!

1. We cannot control what others do. We just have to do the right thing.

The truth will come out about some male Dems.
And we should act accordingly.

[padah513]

2. Yes

The chips have to fall where they will. We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard or we're no better than them.

[Irish_Dem]

12. You are exactly right. nt

[smirkymonkey]

14. Bullshit. This has never gotten us anywhere and in fact it has been counter-productive.

This is the kind of thing that makes us look weak. Either guilty republicans go, or we STAY.

Fuck this "we go high" crap!

3. The woman was in a flak jacket, he wasn't touching her. She has worked with Hannity.

Fishy story.

[ProudLib72]

6. Groped, no. Caught in compromising position, yes

Do I believe the story about the "kiss"? Maybe. Was what Franken did stupid and childish? Yes. But in no way is it on the same level as Moore or Dotard.

[rzemanfl]

9. Franken's latest book talks about the Republican "De-humorizer." The photo is at worst

a joke in bad taste. It seems to me that in order to French kiss a woman her mouth needs to be open. The "kiss rehearsal" story seems weird.

15. it is complete bullshit

16. She's a car mechanic too? Hi Skittles. n/t

[Skittles]

18. heh

both pictures are "out of context"

[rzemanfl]

19. She sure has a lot of nice tools. n/t

4. The alleged complaint was in the course of an entertainment skit. While what is alleged

(a nonprofessional "volunteer" actor groped in the course of a non-mutually agreed to skit) is clearly inappropriate, do you not find a difference in this reported transgression and one that involves non-entertainment settings? BTW, it is a little misleading in how it is being reported as he was not a Senator at the time, but still a working comedian.

[Initech]

5. Is it me or does that photo look fake?

I'm not defending Al Franken or any of these acts committed by these horrible people. But the timing of this just stinks. It's as if the right wing is trying to draw attention away from Roy Moore by saying "Hey! Both sides do it!".

[Chasstev365]

7. LeAnn Tweeden worked with Sean Hannity

[Hortensis]

8. We're holding Republicans to a higher standard than Democrats?

Where'd you pick up this idea?

[Orrex]

10. It would be refreshing to see Repubs held to any standard at all

[Chasstev365]

11. Thank you!

[NCTraveler]

13. Optically, here is the difficult part.

If Franker were to resign, the argument for years will be....

Trumps accusers were clearly lying as Trump didn't have to resign like Franken did. Same with Moore.... Same with......

[Kaleva]

17. Are you arguing there should be no difference between the members of the parties?

We do and should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
