In reply to the discussion: Al Franken Don't Resign Thread - Please Rec [View all]wildflowergardener
(911 posts)I don't hold out much hope, but I agree. I've contacted my senator Claire McCaskill a few different places about how upset I was and that I think Al Franken was railroaded. So disappointed about this and that she was one of the ones to do this to him. I am all for believing woman but at least give men a chance to defend themselves and look for the truth. I don't trust anonymous accusers and I don't feel the ones that were not anonymous were bad enough to resign. The waist? Come on! If you are that sensitive to someone else touching you don't ask for a selfie. I could be a completely bad judge of character but I just don't believe Al could do something like the kissing accusation "my right as an entertainer" sounds so fake.
The standard needs to be investigate all credible allegations, and then make a decision. Don't dismiss them outright but investigate. Don't make any hasty decisions you cannot undo when you find out you've been scammed.
