I just submitted a post where I predicted exactly this. The Republicans are assembling the circular firing squad while the Dims circle the wagon. Not a single Dim called for Franken to resign. There you have the double standard in spades.
A spokesperson for Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that 'no' the embattled senator would not resign over allegations that he fondled and kissed a woman without her permission 11 years ago.
'He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday,' the aide told the newspaper. 'And he's doing a lot of reflecting.'
. . . . . . . . .
Franken's initial statement noted that he did not remember the USO skit happening that way.
A second statement was more apologetic, as Franken that he would cooperate in a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into his behavior.
The Senate Ethics Committee is a joke. Dim senators are positively mocking us. They are giving us the Bronx cheer. I just don't understand how anyone can be stupid enough to vote for these slimy shameless reptiles.'He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday,' the aide told the newspaper. 'And he's doing a lot of reflecting.'
