Major donor reconsiders support for Democrats who urged Franken to quit

[STARTRIBUNE] A prominent donor to the Democratic Party says she is considering withdrawing support for senators who urged their colleague Al Franken to resign after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

The donor, Susie Tompkins Buell, has been one of the Democratic Party’s most generous supporters for decades. In particular, she has been a champion of female politicians, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Fauxchahontas Warren

of Massachusetts and Maria Cantwell of Washington.

Last month, those senators were among the dozens who called for Franken to resign from the Senate after at least six women accused him of sexual harassment or misconduct, such as forcible kissing and groping.

Franken announced his resignation on Dec. 7 before the Senate Ethics Committee had completed a review of the accusations, which he disputed.

Before he was elected to the Senate to represent Minnesota in 2008, Franken was a well-known comedian and a cast member on "Saturday Night Live." After he resigned, Lt. Gov. Tina Smith of Minnesota was named as his replacement.

Buell said in a text message on Saturday that withdrawing support from the senators who called for his resignation was "an option" she was considering.

"In my gut they moved too fast," she wrote. Franken "was never given his chance to tell his side of the story."

So, Susie Tompkins Buell is O.K. with groping and sexual misconduct? Susie. Susie is described as Hillary's BF. She must have thought Slick was cute in his behavior--boys will be boys after all (wink, wink).
