Don’t let The New Yorker get away with its brazen Al Franken hypocrisy

Nearly a year after co-authoring a suspect account damning Brett Kavanaugh as a serial sexual harasser — in the august pages of The New Yorker, no less — journalist Jane Mayer has taken up a curious cause: defending Al Franken.

Recall that when Franken resigned from the United States Senate on Jan. 2, 2018, he was facing down eight accusers in a scandal that unfolded over just three weeks.

The conservative Kavanaugh, approaching his confirmation hearing for the United States Supreme Court, had faced one accuser. The second, whom Mayer and co-author Ronan Farrow profiled favorably, told The New Yorker she had serious gaps in her memory about the night in question — a party, 35 years prior, during which she said a young Kavanaugh had put his penis in her face. She had been drinking heavily that night and couldn’t be sure.
