It's a sad day, but this is the right thing for him to do. Even though he denied the most recent claim, we've reached the point where he's admitted or half-admitted to enough things that it's hard to trust him on the matter.

Man I really liked him it's too bad he has to resign.

I don't think he is a horrible person or anything but someone as old as him should be mature enough not to do shit like this. This isn't some fucking frat full of 19 year olds this is the fucking Senate we are talking about.

Aren't the accusations from events that happened years? Even then as far as accusations goes his have been pretty tame afaik.

He made some mistakes and he's paying the consequences for it.

Seeing a lot about Lt. Gov. Tina Smith being named as Frankens successor. 2018 is going to be far closer in Minnesota then Democrats want to admit. Watch Breitbart and Bannon get behind Michele Bachmann to run for the seat.

I'm pretty sure a defense was that God got Mary pregnant at 14 so it's okay for Moore.

Literally using their belief if God to defend a child predator.

I don't know why you'd think that, Minnesota voted for Clinton in the general and Sanders in the primary.
they literally have a black muslim as a representative
hell, even Coleman the republican that Franken beat was fairly close to the center and was originally a democrat. the modern GOP doesn't really have a shot in a state like Minnesota

@Sayoria, how do you feel? I remember you saying you thought he'd make a good candidate for 2020. Or was that @Doom_Art


It's the right move by Franken. Despite all this, he is a very respectable man in his morals, choices and decisions. He was wrong to do what he did, but he was easily one of the best senators on the bench. He will be very hard to replace.

I think this also shows that Democrats.... in a time like now, are the only party who actually gives a shit about people.

A black Muslim who I don't think would win the district where I grew up in Minnesota.

Minnesota is more purple than you would think, even if they often "come home" for presidential elections. Minnesota also had a caucus system until after this last primary season, so don't be surprised if the presidential primaries aren't as far to the left.

I know theres been a very different picture of me painted through the last few weeks, but I know who I really am, Franken said. Of the claims against him by more than half a dozen women, he said: Some of the allegations arent true. Others I remember differently.

So he's not admitting to any wrongdong.

no proof and the accusers coincidentally backed off once trump won the election as if they were paid off by some party.
