need to set up a defense for roy moore and even president trump? i think gingrich is really just trying to paint the left broadly as hysterical and the idea that al franken resigned with something that had nothing to do with his constituents and nothing was bothered by that. i think he is trying to keep the focus on the left because as he said, right now the democrats have the moral authority over this sweeping sexual harassment story that we see affecting tons of sectors, not just polling ticks, but also the media, business, and right now representative conyerspollingti media, business, and right now representative conyers resigned because of allegations against him. al franken resigned. and we haven t seen the same calls for on resignations on the republican side like we have among the democrats. and in fact the president is also supporting roy moore. so i feel like democrats really feel like they have the upper hand in this and the republicans are trying to change the conversation
minnesota senator al franken defiant thursday as he announced that he would resign in the coming weeks amid allegations of sexual misconduct. franken one of three members of congress to step down this week. democratic congressman conyers of michigan and arizona republican trent franks also announced they are leaving the house. so as resignations come as president trump and the republican national committee throw their support behind senate candidate roy moore in tuesday s special election in alabama, despite multiple claims of improper sexual contact with girls as young as 14. we can t afford to have a liberal democrat who is completely controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. we can t do it. we need somebody in that senate seat who will vote for our make america great again agenda. get out and vote for roy moore.
