/dev/null Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 If similar accusations were levied against a sitting Republican Senator the cries for resignation would soon follow. So should the sitting Democrat from Minnesota resign his seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yes, but not because he took a silly picture. Because electing the guy who played a gorilla handler in Trading Places to the Senate is even more ridiculous than electing a reality TV host to be President. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yes. On a moral ground and political strategy. We have a GOP president and a GOP Alabama Senate candidate both being accused of sexual harassment by multiple women. Franken steps down and a Democratic Governor in Minnesota would temporarily appoint a Democratic Senator (who would likely win 2018 special election). It would be a good way to trick dumb people into thinking that Democrats showed the moral high ground. The only reason they won't is if they know more accusations against Democratic Senators are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yes, because he only won the seat because the Minnesota board of elections insisted that write-ins like "Frankenberry" or "Frankenstein" were for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 No, he should have to be voted out of office. Personally, I can't stand the guy, but if that's who Minnesotans want as a Senator, then so be it. I didn't need to see this story to know that Franken's a dick. So he did and said some typically boorish sh#t - so has an ever-growing number of elected officials at all levels, including the president. I do not want elected officials removed based on the potential veracity of ex post facto accusations or innuendo. Just vote the bastard out.

Prickly Pete Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'd rather he stayed in office (and the public eye) so he can be lambasted whenever he makes a public statement. He's an unfunny, condescending douche, and now that a wider segment of the public is aware of that, his grandstanding will only hurt his party.

That tape isn't as big a deal to me as the multiple sexual harassment allegations against Trump. I do find some of the women accusers credible given the detail they put into their story, but the distrust of the Clinton's convinced many voters that all of those allegations were bogus. There was also photographic evidence against Franken that none of the woman accusers had against Trump. Don't blame me though as I didn't vote for the guy.

Billsfansinceday1 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have absolutely zero sympathy for anybody guilty of sexual harassment, having personally experienced it as a boy. That said, I am betting that this iceburg is huge and Franken would be the first of many to fall. I am in favor of no longer turning a blind eye to sexual; harassment by powerful men (predominately) and relieving them of their duties. That begins with our president.

You touch on something I believe. Franken being Franken, which is nothing more than an attention grabbing mouth piece with one liners and supposed humor, the best thing he could do for the party is resign and then come out strong against this behavior. Once he resigns he can carry the virtue banner of repentance to demand others who may be guilty do as he did. He would be a martyr whilst being the perpetrator, it would be the best political move. I am fully expecting this to happen and be so downright condescending in his announcement that he only stirs the pot about others in his shoes. 45 minutes ago, Billsfansinceday1 said: I have absolutely zero sympathy for anybody guilty of sexual harassment, having personally experienced it as a boy.

LeviF Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 As much as I enjoy seeing Franken raked over the coals, I say no. All this hubbub is, again, simply another attempt to pathologize male sexuality. All this #metoo bull **** is just that: bull ****, and a moral panic that's part of a modern feminist agenda to stigmatize normal male sexuality. I get the feeling that we're going to be looking back on this in a few years in the same way we look at Victorian posturing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Clinton should have resigned over the Lewinsky scandal alone. Franken should resign also.
