    I never thought Franken should have resigned. The photo of him looking like he was attempting to grope a woman on a plane was an obvious attempt at humor by a comedian at the time  and he never actually touched the woman. A simple apology to the woman should have been enough. But he was thrown to the wolves by the dems themselves for political reasons. How could they make the argument against Trump and the women who have made accusations against him if they didn't pressure Franken to resign? Now they are having second thoughts and all the arguments they made against Kavanaugh are turned on their head as they try to to defend Franken whom they now say they made a mistake in pressuring him to resign. 

    Bette Midler just destroyed the entire #MeToo movement in a desperate effort to protect Al Franken

        The hypocrisy is sick. You let franken become a conservative - and all hell would break loose attacking him.

            I don't care if Franken was thrown overboard by his fellow dems it is the dems now having the second thoughts and not just Bette Midler.

                This – tweet – is – a – marvel!!!

                How many social violations does she cram into one tweet here?! Let’s see, we have victim-shaming, victim-blaming, removing her agency as a strong woman, acting the prude, and a refusal to “believe all women”, and protecting of a predatory male. Why not also club a baby seal while at it?!

                      Liberal 'View' hosts blast #MeToo 'witch hunt' and 'political hit' that led to Dem Al Franken's resignation

                            Perhaps Mr. FairandBalanced, but you cant deny that liberals are the kings of hypocrisy and double standards.

                              When you are firmly placed in one of the camps, you will definitely see it as the other guy’s issue.
