    Unfortunately Al Franken was sacrificed by leading democratic women on the wave of me too, on accusations staged by the Republicans.
    Because Al Franken was one of the absolute most effective voices against the Republican madness.

    Hello Gillibrand. Are you happy now? Did this boost your career like you hoped it would?

        I 100% agree, Al Franken was amazing at framing things and putting them into perspective. The sacrifice of him was a huge misunderstanding and completely undeserved.

        The drumbeat from so-called feminists and the “liberal media” would have just kept on going until he did.
