You may recall, im not sure if it was last week or the week before, he made that first announcement, apologizing for the behavior. But not resigning. And then, reports started to surface that it would be a resignation announcement, ive got tweets in front of me from the senator franken account, he basically calls on an outlet that reported the resignation, he said that reporting needs to be corrected.
