The McConnell Standard - expel any sitting member accused of harassment. Start with Franken.

Just do it, Mitch. Prove your outrage over the allegations against Roy Moore isn't just political opportunism to reject a conservative you don't like. Apply your newfound sense of outrage to anyone in the Senate accused of harassment.

Plus, think of the money we'd save since the taxpayers are currently on the hook for harassment settlements.

Elaine Chao: "Mitch! There's a bunch of women outside our house demanding that you say that Franken has to step down! Mitch!"

"When you gonna get out of bed?!"

Franken’s response:

“It was a joke.”

No, you were objectifying women. You have no right to be one of 100 senators that decide our legislation.

If they want Moore expelled before he’s even seated...they have to expel Frankin.

"NEW: Chuck Schumer calls for ethics panel probe of Al Franken allegations"

So, the stage is set. Lower the lights and bring in the Kabuki players.

Step #1 - Any person who engaged in sexual harassment/assault or whatever (male/female, Dem/Repub) that resulted in taxpayer money being used to pay settlements due to their inappropriate/bad/criminal conduct, needs to have their name made public. Step #2 - if still in Congress, they need to be subjected to the same ethics investigation that Mitch is threatening to convene regarding Judge Moore, should he win. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander - or it should be. I’m not holding my breath while waiting for any of this to happen.

Slow Jo e Biden, Moore, Oreilly, Ailes, Frankin...?

Wonder why no guys are coming forward accusing women of sexual harassment ? Think it doesn’t happen? Bet you’re wrong.

The parade of bimbos marches on. New road to $$$. Pass the popcorn.

Got it once. Gave him “whatfor”. Should he have his career ruined? Why? It’s over, and perhaps he got over his assattitude.

Yes. You are 100% right.

McConnell must expel Franken given his Roy Moore position.

And now, immediately.

And if he doesn’t, Mitch has to go. No more Leader for him.

Yup. McConnell said Moore would not be seated due to unproven 38 year old allegations of sexual misconduct.

With Franken we have actual misconduct, with photographic evidence, much more recently.

Therefore, Franken must be no longer be seated.

We will see if the rules are different for Democrats on this too. They skate on things Republicans would literally be crucified for doing.
