CNBC; Sen. Al Franken will resign Jan. 2 and be succeeded by Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith a day later, NBC News reported Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the Minnesota Democrat announced he would step down amid sexual misconduct accusations, but had not set a specific time to leave the Senate. Most of the Senate Democratic caucus pushed Franken to resign, but at least two of his party’s senators — Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Patrick Leahy of Vermont — said recently that Franken got pushed out too quickly, according to Politico.
Days after Franken said he planned to step down, Minnesota Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton chose Smith as his successor.
Franken faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and said he could no longer be “an effective senator” while it was ongoing. At the time, the senator said that “some of the allegations” against him “are simply not true,” while he remembers others “very differently.” read more
Where does Al land, NBC -CBS -ABC or CNN ?
Aside from on his Head !
Likely a way to wrench more cash for his pension since he was still Senator January 1st, 2018.
I wonder why January 2nd. He must get to retire with more of our money if he does it then.
Loco for the win.
Hide your women and girls from this pervert. Washed up hasbeen should be living in a van down by the river eating a steady diet of government cheese for the rest of his miserable commie pervert life.
Hey Al,
You’re NOT good enough……
You’re NOT smart enough……
and doggone it, people just don’t like you.
Well we know for certain any income taxes on his severance pay is now reduced.
Any good Senator under scrutiny for sexual harassment will certainly be dressed like the half necked New Years Baby in Times Square….
did he mention 2018? … jus’ askin’
Somewhere out there, a door just found an ass.
In a democracy….
usually you are presented with EVIDENCE, and a chance to refute that evidence.
I think he should have stood his ground FOR ALL MEN, but he’s a liberal beta-male, and will do what he’s told.
The frog finally decides to ;eave the boiling water.
I will bet you a dollar to a dogshit that he will appear on SNL in early January.
Are you sure Al Frankenstein isn’t being replaced by Tina Smith, not Tina Fey?
Got that one backwards. It’s been a long, tiring day. You know what I meant.
Believe it when you see it.
“Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.”

Franken’s a lying, suck-ass, socialistic piece of shit who knows that the ends justify the means – and for him, the total destruction of America is that “end.”
A leopard can’t change his stripes; neither can a tiger change his spots, nor can a liar speak the truth (except by mistake).
izlamo delenda est …
I’ll believe it when is ass is out the door and no sooner. Never believe anything promised by a piece of shit like Franken.
I hope someone grabs his ass on its way out the door, you know, just for fun!
