Good day all. Senator Al “The Groper” Franken said he would resign his seat. However, he has yet to do so. He has been making one excuse after the other, and now he’s come up with yet another one.
Al The Groper wants to wait for a “Seamless Transition” of his successor to happen, and so he’s going to continue hanging on to his seat like a lamprey eel. This isn’t surprising since Senator Groper shouldn’t be in the Senate in the first place. Here are the details of his latest excuse from Fox News:
Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken resigned from Congress two weeks ago amid continuing sexual-misconduct allegations. However, he’s yet to say when he’ll empty his Capitol Hill office, even after his replacement was appointed earlier this week.
“Tina Smith will make an excellent United States senator. … I look forward to working with her on ensuring a speedy and seamless transition,” Franken said after the state lieutenant governor was appointed, without mentioning when he’ll leave.
I think I know when Senator Groper will leave. When Hell freezes over.
In his Dec. 7 resignation speech, Franken said only that he’ll be leaving in the “coming weeks.”
In Franken’s warped mind, the “Coming weeks” will be in about 200 or so. (That is roughly when he would stand for rejection reelection)
Franken was back at work this week, casting votes in the Senate, participating in a committee hearing, attending a senators-only luncheon with Democrats and even posing for a picture with a group of high school students.
Franken, in his speech, noted his original plan regarding an ethics investigation, which he thought would help. And he argued that “some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others, I remember very differently.”
Hey Al? I seem to recall a certain picture of your groping a sleeping woman on a plane? Oh, I guess you forgot that. How about looking at the top of this post. It will help you remember.
Franken also suggested that him leaving elected office while President Trump remains in the Oval Office after bragged on tape about his history of sexual misconduct is “ironic.”
Oh here we go again with that tape. Sorry Al, President Trump was shooting his mouth off in what he thought was private. He, unlike you, never did anything.
Such statements have led to speculation that Franken, a former comedian, is having second thoughts about his next steps, or that he’s at least in no hurry to be run out of Washington, especially after members of both political parties have raised similar arguments.
There’s a rather big difference between President Trump and Al “The Groper” Franken. President Trump was talking in private, (He didn’t know he was being recorded). There were no women present when he talked about grabbing women, and there is no indication that he ever did. We have photographic evidence of The Groper’s actions. In other words, Trump talked the talk, but Franken walked the walk. Still, Franken is a Democrat and Democrats will always do what they can to protect Democrats.
Zephyr Teachout, a Democrat who ran for governor of New York, said in an op-ed in the New York Times that she was left with a sense of “something went wrong” when Franken announced he was stepping down.
Zero tolerance (of sexual misconduct) should go hand in hand with two other things: due process and proportionality,” Teachout wrote. “Both were missing in the hasty call for Senator Franken’s resignation.”
She also said due process “means a fair, full investigation, with a chance for the accused to respond.”
You want due process? Fine. How about hard evidence? Or did you forget about that picture of The Groper with his paws on the chest of a women so exhausted that she fell asleep in her helmet and body armor?
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., said the forced resignation “was a lynch mob.”
“Let’s not have due process,” he said. “Let’s not ask anybody any questions, let’s not have any chance to have a hearing, let’s just lynch him.”
Newt, shut up already! You are no angel either when it comes to this sort of thing. You might not have grabbed a woman without her permission, but some of the things in your personal life don’t cover you with glory either. You also seem to have forgotten Napoleon’s prime directive. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Al Franken should never have been in the United States Senate. His first election was won when ballots were “Mysteriously” found in someone’s car or something. The only reason he won was his RINO opponent, Norm Coleman, was a complete and utter fool. Getting him out of the senate by any lawful means is a good thing for this country. Now if he would only just leave…
