Al Franken said he “absolutely” regrets resigning from the U.S. Senate in 2017 amid the firestorm over accusations of inappropriate behavior by the comedian turned politician. In a new profile by Jane Mayer published Monday in The New Yorker, seven current and former senators said they also regret calling for his resignation in December 2017: Vermont’s Patrick Leahy, North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp, Illinois’ Tammy Duckworth, Maine’s Angus King, Oregon’s Jeff Merkley, Florida’s Bill Nelson, and New Mexico’s Tom Udall. Franken told Mayer that he now wishes that he had followed through on his request to appear before a Senate Ethics

Jane Mayer - boy, are she and the New Yorker bottom feeding.
So Franken now needs a pity party made up of some of the worst so-called “legislators” in history?

Wow, Al and I have something in common! He regrets resigning from the Senate and I regret that his mother did not abort him.

The one dignified thing that he ever did, and he regrets it.

He was sacrificed by his Democrat buddies trying to show zero tolerance for sexual harassment. Subsequent events have shown the Dems to be the chosen party of handsy (or worse) creeps - Harvey Wienstein, Joe Biden, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and so on. As long as they're pro-abortion, they'll get a pass from the Dems.

The liberal Minnesota courts granted Franken the election win over Norm Coleman.
The Senate and the country should regret the court activism than gave incompetent Franken the win in the first place, without which Obamacare would have never been passed.

Franken resigned for one reason only—because his co-religionists thought it would help drive Trump from office. It didn’t work, so of course he regrets it.

Well, Demonrats in the Senate are glad he did. There's no way Frankenpuff can once again cheat his way in.

Well, Mr. Toad, seeing as vote fraud got you elected, it really was a type of karma, now wasn’t it? And btw, didn’t I see your name on the Lolita Express passenger list, along with Slick Willie, George Clooney, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Kimmel, and a host of other left-leaning dem perverts?

Minnesota voters remind me of how hard Winter is on the brain compared to drinking a slushy drink too fast. Brain freeze has them making mental mistakes like Ventura, Franken and Klobuchar.

The moron has no clue that more women, particluarly with the latest women witch hunt of men, would ruin his live. He really regrets doing the right thing for the first time in his life.

There's no person who has left government for any reason that I have been more glad to see leave, rejoiced at their departure more than Franken 's departure.

Poor Stewart Smalley...he just did not keep up-to-date with the most current liberal zeitgeist.
He should have known that the poundmetoo movement would come along and bawdy animal house type humor would be frowned upon. Even though less that a few years before all the libs thought it was absolutely hil-arious. He shouldn't feel alone. Poor Pat was so funny they tried to make a movie out of her/him/it but they failed to predict the LGBTQAEIOU and sometimes Y advocacy movement. Now that is no longer funny.

Gee, if only he had painted his face black and donned Klan garb instead of grabbing a sleeping woman;s boobs, he might still be holding office today.
