Of course but I'm not holding my breath. Dems have a stiff necked and vicious puritanical streak in them that can't be reasoned with. It also doesn't help that he was a popular Hillary booster in 2016. The Berners will get their pound of flesh one way or the other, I expect.

Franken is resigning, but the sexual predator in chief, who endorses a child molester, still sits in the Oval Office and Thomas still sits on the bench. Hypocrisy at its worst.

Are you claiming that these female colleagues of Franken, or most of them, were not supporters of your Goddess?
Could have fooled me or they did not get the memo from Clinton HQ, aka the DNC.
Quote:
In a wave of statements and Twitter posts, at least 10 of Franken’s female colleagues called him out on Wednesday just after 11:30 a.m. EST: Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Patty Murray (D-WA) Kamala Harris (D-CA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL). Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) was the first male senator to call for his resignation.

It isn't hyperbole to say that the GOP is now the party of child molesters such as Roy Moore and Denny Hastert and sexual predators like Rep.Blake Fahrenthold and President* Donald Trump, etc. ad nauseum.

"I of all people am aware that there is some irony that I am leaving, while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has preyed on underage girls is running for the Senate with the full support of his party.” Al Franken 12/7/2017

As long as the dems continue to "do what's right" rather than lie, cheat and steal like the republicans they will never go anywhere. The dems issue is they are too nice.

Franken: “today I am announcing that in the coming weeks I will be resigning as member of the United States Senate. I, of all people, am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of the sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party.”

Indeed. I wonder what sort of inane response Whell and his idiot Trump-loving pals will have to this...
