Elizabeth Warren Really Doesn't Want to Talk About Al Franken Resigning

It's been a week since allegations of sexual harassment and groping emerged against Democrat Senator Al Franken. Some on the left have issued condemnations, others are circling the wagons in his defense.

Over at SNL a number of women signed a letter of character, arguing Franken really is a good guy.

JUST IN: Women staff of "Saturday Night Live" sign letter in support of Sen. Al Franken pic.twitter.com/osN6IwMgvB — NBC News (@NBCNews) November 21, 2017 Franken himself has issued half sincere apologies, saying he doesn't "remember" allegdely grabbing the behind of a young woman just a few years ago at the state fair because he "takes thousands of photos." He's refusing to resign.

But in the face of these allegations, where are the prominent feminists in the Senate? Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren isn't interested in addressing the resignation question directly and dodged it during an interview with Stephen Colbert earlier this year.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is "enormously disappointed" in Sen. Al Franken and the other "famous men" who have been accused of sexual misconduct, but she wouldn't answer Stephen Colbert when he asked if she thought Franken should resign.

"I knew Sen. Franken long before he was Sen. Franken and his wife Franni. These allegations are serious, and women have a right to be heard and listened to on this. Al is going to be subjected to a hearing in the United States Senate and an investigation. We have had, for a long time now in the Senate, long before I got there, a bipartisan ethics committee that meets on a regular basis, and he's going to go in and answer."

Such bravery.

Has the ethics committee ever forced anyone to resign? That's just a way to put things in the dark closet until the next election.

She also does not want to talk about her faking being a native American.

She doesn’t want to talk about it because the next shoe to drop should be for people that lied to get their position should also resign—her for fake Indian claims that set up her career, Lyn’ Ted for lying about citizenship, campaign funds, and more, and so many others. Yep, likely half or more of Congress. Boot them all for their bad behavior.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together.

I wonder if it will be a guy, a gal or an it that comes out and accuses Warren and Collins.

It would be easier to have Hillary wipe him clean, like with a cloth. Same results, less taxpayer money spent and it would give Hillary something to do besides complain about some election she lost.

She could set up a booth in the toilet paper aisle at Costco and provide private sessions....

I wouldn’t be surprised is these perverts had “consensual relationships” with members of the animal kingdom.

But—they would be sorry—if caught!

Because they are exposing the peccadilloes / malfeasance etc of potential 2020 Dems. We got Slow-Joe grabbing a SS-agents wifes boob @ an Xmas party and his naked swimming, we got Franken up his eyeballs of grabbing everything and more. We got the Clinton's, Bills Sex-Scandals reborn and all their other more recent behaviors.

She's probably worried dirt will come out on her and she's out for 2020. Which leads to the question who are they really clearing the deck for?....

Princess Grey Beard is just on the warpath because Al Franken got to grope and tongue kiss Leeann Tweedle and she didn’t.

Senator SpeakingBull will be sending smoke signals during her next interview. A few Dems should resign...Al Franken because he said he was a comic...no, he never made me laugh UNTIL he got into the Senate, Squaw SpeakingBull for being a fake native American and Mitch McConnell for being a fake REPUBLICAN.
