since it looks like it's getting relitigated yet again: Al Franken constituent here, glad he resigned, his behavior was foul, his replacement was fantastic, if you're defending him you're fortifying a stupid hill in the wrong battle

I hate when people (mostly men) complain about him resigning. Somehow, they always seem to forget that we got a perfectly good replacement in Tina Smith. Odd how men always ignore older women 🤔

My liberal mom who will be turning 60 this August (and I will be turning 30 in July) STILL defends him and it constantly amazes me how she can claim to be against Trump and his sex crimes but defends rapists when they are members of the Democratic Party.

His stuff was bad but not evil rape murder bad, but bad, he was a replacement level senator who was only well known because he was famous, Tina Smith is better, he did the right thing apologizing for being a shit head and resigning.

I dont understand why this issue is so complicated for people!

My liberal mom who will be turning 60 this Aug STILL believes that the allegations against him "weren't that bad" and "a lot of people did stuff similar to him and didn't receive consequences" to warrant his resignation. It's sad how some people will defend rapists when they share the same politics.

He was good at making snark comments during hearing that made the GOP look bad.

Whatever you think of Franken resigning, the *fact* that he did sets a stringent standard for when politicians *should* resign, and for that we should all be grateful that he did

My liberal mom who will be turning 60 this August STILL thinks that he shouldn't have resigned because "Republicans do far worse and they don't leave" and that "the allegations against him weren't that bad" and it's really sad how she's one of those people who only hates conservative rapists.

I've had weirdos in my mentions all day. Minnesota moved on (even Al did!). Time for the out of state people to do the same.

So many people think it was just the fake groping pic and don't know he was grabbing every ass he could get his hands on
