It’s a dark, dark day for Democrats, as Sen. Al Franken announced today that he’ll be resigning “in the coming weeks.” Despite their willingness to chuck him under the bus yesterday, a number of Franken’s female colleagues are beside themselves with grief:
“I gave him a big hug and told him I loved him and thanked him for what he’s done,” @SenDuckworth says as she exits chamber.

Many of the female senators who called on him to resign visibly emotional as they hugged him

During the speech lots of tears in boxes watching, gallery staff passing out tissues

Was anyone passing out barf bags? Because we’ll take some of those.

Female senators hugging Al must be like going to the Dr to get a shot. Know you are required to doit, thinking there is a chance you will feel a sting on your butt and really can’t wait until it’s over.

We wouldn’t be remotely surprised.
There’s a good reason to cry today, but it’s not because Al Franken says he’s leaving.
hopefully crying for the women franken harassed https://t.co/sW3ptGkAaV

As if. None of these weepy senators are shedding any tears for Franken’s accusers.
