Kirsten Gillibrand opens the floodgates as female Democratic senators call on Al Franken to resign
by Melissa Quinn | Dec 6, 2017, 11:42 AM

A group of female Democratic senators are calling for Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken to resign Wednesday after seven allegations of sexual harassment, a number that swelled after Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., became the first to do so.

One by one, Franken's Democratic colleagues said he should step down from Congress in the wake of the accusations. After Gillibrand made her initial statement, five others — Sens. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Patty Murray of Washington, and Kamala Harris of California — followed suit.

Murray is the first member of Democratic leadership to urge Franken to resign.

JUST IN: Sen Al Franken to make an announcement tomorrow, his office says. He has faced calls to resign from more than ten Democratic Senate colleagues in the past hour.

Franken will just be replaced with another liberal, so it's no big loss.

True, but it is fun to see the guy that openly stole an election from Norm Coleman get punched in the face.

Yep...I am enjoying seeing him squirm and turned on by his fellow Dems.

Won’t be sad to see Franken go - if he actually does.  However, I’m not the least bit fooled by the developments.  Franken isn’t ‘one of them,’ meaning a policy maker with a law degree.  Conyers is 88, so he was going away soon, regardless.  People like Gillibrand are just getting rid of dead weight to seem credible on the issue, when they go after their real intended targets like Moore and Trump.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
