Why did Leann bring this up now?
It’s not like she was incapable of setting the situation straight and saying “get the hell away from me, that’s not funny.” There’s a moment when we have to ask ourselves what’s real sexual abuse or assault. He stole a raunchy kiss, ewe, maybe, but that’s not assault and cause to be forced out of your Senate seat!!!!! The photo was staged for comedic effects. He didn’t touch her! We are not puritans and a little sex joke should not be in the same category as Roy Moore and other sexual predators.

I am so tired of the press bringing him up and not supplying any content what so ever.

2. Franken should resign when his level of accusations reachs near the mind boggling

level of accusations against Moore and Trump.

8. And not before.

5. I agree, anyone advocating to lose him over this doesn't have good critical thinking

It's a nothing, and was another time.

6. These "Scandals" sourced/fueled by Kremlin / alt-right

From the Russian Troll monitoring dashboard (run by Clint Watts):

Between November 11 and November 17, we examined 55 articles that were among the top URLs shared by Kremlin-oriented accounts on Twitter. Over 40% of the URLs focused on sexual misconduct allegations; of those URLs, 42% attacked accused Democrats (or those connected to liberal causes), 4% promoted a narrative of a Saudi-linked pedophile ring, and 54% defended Roy Moore.

11. Something that I haven't seen brought up, but Al Franken is Jewish.

The Alt-Right must be going crazy with the chance to damage him....

12. Agree

He should be reprimanded and warned but should not resign. Others have committed far worse and were provable beyond a reason of doubt.

13. There needs to be an investigation first, before reprimanding anyone.
