Their hatred for Franken is visceral

They have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
I worked with a respected physician during the Franken-Coleman debacle.
Every day that went by this physician got angrier and angrier about the election.
He spiraled out of control when Franken finally won.
His anger was palpable.
He read Drudge constantly.
He was constantly ranting about misdeeds.
This election ruined his life and his career.
He lost his patients.
He lost his family.
He lost privileges at the hospital.
I can’t imagine he is the only one that flipped out.
Franken has served us well.
Fuck the lying liars. I don’t believe these women. This was a political hit job.

That’s really troubling to hear. I wouldn’t expect that from a doctor but at the end of the day, we’re all human.

Of course they thought "grab them by the pussy" Trump was funny and just locker room talk. Another example of why Franken resigning won't make a difference other than to cement the idea that the Republicans can get away with anything while the Dems will wilt before any sign of trouble.

These Dems do not seem to have a clue that they're being manipulated.

This has been about unconfirmed accusations without evidence of facts and circumstances. And it's definitely about prejudging. Al has asked for investigations but they deny him that.

Some of these accusations are out-right lies, others are half-truths. They should remember to beware of half truths and not believe the wrong half, as they're doing.

Franken is just in the way of that same Big Money. They'll rejoice when he's gone, but not because they hated him personally.
