I think, at that time, Al Franken needed to resign, it was inevitable THEN. However, I also think that he should run for office again, and let his constituents decide if he should be forgiven or not. He was one of the most effective Senators that I've seen. When there were hearings on important issues, he was VERY good at cutting through BS responses. (For example, questioning Jeff Sessions about Russian meddling [to the point that Sessions himself said that HE had met with Russian contacts / and soon after recused himself from handling the investigation].) Franken used just enough humor, and always had staff with very specifics documents prepared: when someone would lie / leave out details that changed the meaning, Franken & staff had charts and quotes ready to immediately dispute (prove untrue) what the person had just tried to get away with some half-true reply. And he lead the way in trying to keep the internet free and equal (not allowing big companies to slow down service to "lesser" users). He talked passionately about 'if there were some new KZbin type company trying to come out today, with the proposed legislation, they would not have a chance in competing with the already wealthy established companies. His absence from the Senate has really been a great loss (a distinct void) in important debates taking place. I don't know if he should be forgiven or not, but I think he should at least run, and let his constituents show their feelings on the matter.

You should never have stepped down from office you must’ve been pressured but it’s a crying shame and please get back into office we need you

[@peterthurman9384]

Yes, yes, yes. We really do need Senator Franken. He was smeared (he is no molester). The country does need him (I'd vote for him, in a heartbeat).

What's needed in our adult culture today... adults like Franken.

Amen.... if only we had more people molestating sleeping people.

There aren't enough straight talkers like him, esp. in gov't.

This highly moral human being's story-telling is beautifully skilled and he's should be in the Senate.

[@sxxxxxlxxx]

@HH He didn’t sexually assault anyone. He was a complete dick 10 years ago, RESIGNED of his own free will, and the woman accepted his apology. We don’t need Trump supporters who protect actual predators to give their shitty opinions lol

@Hello Tom how are you doing?

[@rickbullock4331]

Al is very funny and smart too. It’s too bad that Trump didn’t resign his post considering all the stuff he bragged about doing to women. I guess as President you can do what you want because after all, you are above the law. It looks like the scales of justice are maybe swinging the other way now, one can only hope.

[@blsheridan1]

LOVE Al Franken! Smart and Funny
