Al Franken resigns, diminishes allegations, vows to be an ‘activist’

In what can only be described as a silly, self-important speech, former Minnesota Senator Al Franken diminished the sexual harassment allegations against him, referred to himself as a “champion for women,” and vowed to keep fighting politically as an “activist.”

The allegations against Franken by eight women are detailed here.

As an aside, Al Franken should not be a Senator because he hangs out with actual Communist Party USA members and their allies. Al Franken should not be a Senator because he won based on fake votes from felons.

If you actually listen to Franken’s resignation speech, you see that he diminishes the charges against him:
“I think that was the right thing to do. I also think it gave some people the false impression that I was admitting to doing things that, in fact, I haven’t done. Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others, I remember very differently.”

…refers to himself as a “Champion for Women.”
“I am proud that, during my time in the Senate, I have used my power to be a champion for women – and that I have earned a reputation as someone who respects the women I work alongside every day. I know there’s been a very different picture of me painted over the last few weeks. But I know who I really am.
…promises to continue his activism, (read, fight President Trump).

“Let me be clear. I may be resigning my seat, but I am not giving up my voice. I will continue to stand up for the things I believe in as a citizen, and as an activist.”

  1. Al Franken was not legitimately elected to the Senate. Norm Coleman won the election but the DFL party hired a voter fraud specialist from out of state to “fix” the votes after the fact.

    A box of ballots was “accidentally” discovered in a trunk of a car in Buhl (which should have been disqualified because of a break in the chain of custody) that were cast for Franken and a recount in Two Harbors in favor of Franken showed 1200 more votes than there were voters, as just two examples.

    Norm Coleman did not challenge the recount and Franken won by default. I referred to this guy as the functional moral equivalent of Charles Manson. His turkey has now come home to roost.

    It must be remembered that the democrat party has purged itself of everything good and decent (even God, the source of our American freedoms and liberties) and openly embraced and accepted into its ranks all forms of perversion and depravity imaginable. They have now been caught in their own trap. What goes around comes around.
