When Democrats first began to turn on the embattled Sen. Al Franken, it was theorized by many on the right that their actions were little more than a political move meant to give them the momentary moral high ground they would need to go after Roy Moore and President Trump. Now, there seems to be proof that this was indeed the case.
With Moore defeated and the charges of sexual misconduct against Trump starting to fizzle out yet again, the political benefit Democrats have for throwing Franken under the bus has all but disappeared, and, predictably, so has their anger against him.
Now, four different senators that once called for Franken’s resignation have switched their stance and are saying that he should not resign. This comes in spite of the fact that no new evidence has come out to show Franken’s innocence and that the acts he is accused of have all but been proven, with some of the most concerning ones actually caught on camera.
So much for the Democrats taking the moral high ground. To hear more about this sudden (but unsurprising) reversal, be sure to check out the video below.
