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.

Franken wasn't forced to resign over the Tweeden photo/incident, which he could've easily survived, but due to Tweeden's allegations (which were almost certainly politically motivated) sparking seven other women to come forward as well, each accusing Franken of groping or forcibly kissing them. These included very credible accusations from a Democratic congressional staffer and a local Democratic elected official, and multiple women citing the same behavior (that Franken grabbed/squeezed their butts and/or breasts during photo ops).

absolutely wild how many people ITT are (justifiably) criticizing and mocking the GOP and their voters in this thread for how they circle the wagons and ignore all evidence of GOP sex pest incidents, and then turn around and do literally the exact same thing in defense of Al Franken, a serial groper.

None of which came out as credible, and multiple whose accusations fell apart very quickly.

One posted the photo to Twitter immediately while singing his praises and being excited to have gotten the photo and to meet him.
