Sally Kohn, Left-Wing Groups Say It's Time for Franken to Go

2017-11-21

[Townhall] Liberal commentator Sally Kohn and several left-wing groups called for Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) to step down Monday after new allegations surfaced that Franken had groped a second woman in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair. Franken was accused last week of groping and forcibly kissing Leeann Tweeden who released a photo of Franken groping her while she slept.

"Time for Al Franken to go," Kohn tweeted. "Wrong is wrong. And the Democrats need to show they strongly AND CONSISTENTLY stand for women’s rights."

#10 Yep, having 5+ years of his term left is a problem. An alternative strategy would be to make him an unperson, i.e. strip him (aaaagh! my eyes!)) of all duties and committee assignments. Again, don't hold your breath.

#9 Franken was just reelecte3d last year. He has plenty of time to wait for this to blow over.

#7 Al Franken isn't arousing laughs now, is he?

#6 #5 He will not relinquish his power.

If the donks really want him gone, they'll primary him. But don't hold your breath.

#5 After another news cycle or two this will all be forgotten. Franken understands this. He'll lay low until then and hold onto his Senate seat. He will not relinquish his power.

#4 Hillary Clinton is awfully quiet

Folks that age know when speaking outside their 'meme' they sound diminished. Hilarity clings to her unelection, my mother-in-law pounds the table about 'false or symbolic narrative'.

#3 "And the Democrats need to show they strongly AND CONSISTENTLY stand for women’s rights."

Ya know, I couldn't agree more. Hillary Clinton is awfully quiet about her lady friends in Saudi Arabia. She's awfully quiet about Bill's lady friends as well.

#2 He'll never resign. Mugabe is the right comparison. Power is too important to him, he's long felt that he is a super important person, and now that he's got it he'll never give it up.

#1 I'm anticipating a 'Robert Mugabe' response from Franken.
