“As a Black, gay man who has spent his whole life fighting for civil and human rights, they cannot shut me up,” he said in a statement. “Expect a legal challenge.”
Any other victim category he’d like to assert? Nothing he listed is a defense. It reads like a Cuomo con.
I’ll say this for you–-you really know how to whine and pout.
No one made him resign. He most certainly could have stayed and fought for his seat and his innocence, but decided to resign before an investigation got underway, likely because what would be uncovered was a lot more of the same or worse.
The inherent misogyny of lefties switching all blame from Al “Handsy” Franken to Kirsten Gillibrand of all people is depressing. Al Franken cut & ran. Period.
Could you supply your evidence assaulting the character of Mr Franken?
When accused of crimes or things they didn’t commit, innocent people defend themselves.
Next question.
So do the guilty.
Nope. You don’t get to run that bullshit act. Put up or retract your assertion.
As I recall… and I could be wrong about this, my memory ain’t what it used to be… Secretary Clinton was very often obviously “over-prepared”, and that’s just inexcusable in a [female] candidate for any office. Almost as bad as being unprepared, or just prepared. In any case, her qualifications left her totally unacceptable, thus we elected an Orange Shitstain whos was unqualified to be… any fuscking thing at all.
I think jimtoday’s point is that Franken didn’t defend himself, he cut and ran. He could have stayed and defended himself and decided not to.
I was addressing this bullshit. And you can read Franken for his take on that, not mine
In a BBC interview, Franken stated that he regretted his decision to resign.
Seven of the 36 Democratic Senators have also admitted that they regret their demand that Franken resign. This was a regrettable instance of “Mee Too” hysteria.
36 of Franken’s Democratic Senator colleagues demanded that he resign. Blame them. Starting with Gillibrand.
ETA: the best advice Reagan ever gave was Republicans should speak no evil of fellow Republicans.
I want to scream this to Democrats critical of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal.
Except when they confess to, say, murders they didn’t commit and spend twenty-five or thirty years in prison before the perpetrator is revealed.
Your premise, the sole premise of your sneering argument, is utterly false. Good luck with convincing anybody with that shit.
yes, and if the rain comes down and if the the river doesn’t rise…of course he is guilty…women never lie…geez , get with the program…
with the exception ofPOTUS Biden, Hilllary and afew others… DEMOCRATS are lilly livered; yellow-bellies. When BIDEN leaves office, i’m switching back to Independant .
when was the last time a ‘public’ man ever successfully defended himself from the ‘ME TOO’ CABAL?? for that reason alone i respect KAVANAUGH…He did!!!
maybe it was his after hours job. maybe he believed the guy.
wow, that’s an interesting take on Kavanaugh’s temper tantrum, and an interesting reason to respect him. I assume you’re a guy.
A good example of a successful defense is Biden against Tara Reade. He didn’t engage, which was smart, but plenty of info about her past came out, presumably from surrogates, and the improbability of her accusations was also made clear.
Good idea, we don’t need members of the circular firing squad.
Again, he’s the president of the HRC. Defending someone against these accusations puts the reputation of his organization at risk, and he’s supposed to put the HRC first. He didn’t. They were right to fire him.
what…poor baby. you can’t stand people who don’t agree with you?
