    Senator Franken’s behavior was wrong. He has admitted to what he did. He should resign from the Senate.

        If he denied it, could he stay? #FakePresident and #RoyMooreChildMolester have denied the accusations against them. And they aren't resigning. So, is that it? Admit it and disappear, or deny it - no matter how absurd the denials and how many credible accusers - and continue on?

        Exactly! How is enabling those that lie & deny like trump & moore and punishing those that apologize sincerely & WANT an ethics investigation going to encourage future victims to come forward? They'll know that if their assaulter(s) denies it, they'll get away with it

        An *alleged* waist “grab.” Accepting that the accuser is accurately reporting her subjective reaction does not translate to Franken’s guilt.

        No...he should STAY!! He is being used as a sacrificial lamb by the Dems. I am a woman and survivor. His actions are NOT remotely comparable to the accused rapist/assaulted in office, nor the accused pedophile being supported by GOP right now!

        Yes, we agree. I support the decisions by these smart experienced females in leadership. They are telling us that the tool they need is Zero Tolerance. I support that decision. I trust female decision make is #Appropriate.

        I am a female, too. Zero tolerance is only appropriate in nuclear/chemical weapons. Pretty much everything else is debatable, thus "gray" area exists. If your son tried to kiss a girl he was dating, would you want him designated a sex offender for life? Probably not!

        The conversation started with accusations toward Sen. Franken, several which are prior to his position in the Senate. Nobody in power (male or female) should be allowed to use their position to force their attentions on someone who does not want it. He would likely support rules!

        There is an obligation to “listen” to both parties. Each side is entitled to have the facts/perspectives presented to Ethics Committee. To lump Franken with Roy Moore is absurd. Due process please! GOP has been pushing hard for Dems to react in this way. Dems being played!

        The only thing will happen is that the GOP will continue to race bait, scare & rob their base for the rich. DEMS rid themselves of Franken, have no alternative tax-plan & continue to come across as whining appeasers

        Sessions is happy? Franken was going in for the kill on Sessions. Suddenly, Franken is a target and Sessions skates. Imagine that?
