Sen. Al Franken should step down. Everyone must share the responsibility of building a culture of trust and respect for women in every industry and workplace, and that includes our party.

We fall for this shit over and over.

Have this investigation and get to the truth. Until then we need him in place.

this is a preview of where we are headed. Perez should be ashamed if himself taking a bait from alt right. The entire future of this country is at stake.

Until the other side starts to actually fight fair, it's pointless to do the "right thing" (even if resigning really were the right thing, which until the ethics investigation Franken himself requested is over, it's not).

Has it happened? Has it even started? The Senator is entitled to due process. This is BS. Dems fall divided every damned time.

WHERE ARE THE CALLS FOR TRUMP AND MOORE TO RESIGN???

Franken's accusers are mostly anonymous and have very weak evidence of "assault" or even "harassing" behavior.

Normally I'd say "believe the women". NOT here.

This is a ratfucking and we're falling for it.

We're all talking about it.
I knew it was coming.
No tax bill discussion today.
A supposed anonymous "democrat".

Republicans brazen it out..LIE.. and
are only concerned about
WINNING.
They do and write the bills
That ruin our lives.
We sit on our moral superiority.
Great plan.

Very weak, Tom. When are you calling for Trump to resign? I hope Franken tells him no.
