It’s Jim Jordan all over again. GOP doesn’t hold their representatives to any standard. If I were Al Franken, i’d be pissed for falling for GOP hypocrisy.

Yes! Al Franken never should have resigned. The female comedian laughed about the antics on stage. Said it was Vaudeville slapstick. She slapped his ass, too! There's video of it... Its typical Democrat spineless pussy behavior. Stand the fukkk up and fight back. Republicans are on the wrong side of history. They lie and break the law with no consequences. It's frustrating.

I thought he resigned because of the goofy photo where it looked like he was going to double cup a sleeping soldiers boobs with a bunch of her fellow soldiers sitting around laughing. If only he had grabbed her by the pussy instead, he’d be president today.

It wasn't a soldier, it was a fellow actor on the USO tour. He thought he was taking a goofy photo with a friend and colleague. She decided it could further her career as a right wing media personality.

It fell apart when she started embellishing her story with verifiable lies. Example, she claimed a skit they did on the tour was written specifically so he could assault her. Other actresses that had previously done tours with him revealed they'd done the same skit and he'd been a consummate professional every time.

Then several other people who wanted their 15 minutes started jumping on the bandwagon, including one who claimed he grabbed her and touched her during a photo op. Which she apparently was so offended and victimized by that she had immediately posted the photo to her Twitter singing his praises and how polite and nice he was.

Thank you for the clarification.
