Progressives Aligned With Bernie Sanders Call For Replacing Al Franken With Keith Ellison

Bernie is beginning to have more pull than Hillary Clinton.

Via Washington Times:

Progressives aligned with the Bernie Sanders camp called for replacing disgraced Sen. Al Franken with a fellow Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Keith Ellison, as support grew Friday for the senator’s resignation.

Justice Democrats, a group of former Sanders campaign staffers and others prominent leftists, launched a petition Thursday asking Mr. Franken to resign following the release of a photo showing him groping Leeann Tweeden as she slept on a 2006 USO tour.

“Franken must go. We do not tolerate those who abuse their power,” said Justice Democrats PAC executive director Saikat Chakrabarti in a statement. “Representative Keith Ellison has a proven track record of integrity and fighting for progressive principles.”

Interesting how leftists have 'standards' nowadays......

Where were they when Bill Clinton was abusing his power?

Where were they when Barney Frank was running a male prostitution brothel in his home?

   Reading between the lines, the hellary/sanders fight is still going on within the dnc.  Perez wants Ellison out as co chair~the compromise that won't work.
   Considering the shape the GOP is in right now, this is good news.
