Well, here’s an interesting take on Al Franken. This one comes courtesy of prog journalist and MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter:
Don’t get me wrong: the #metoo movement is great for America and long overdue. But all revolutions contain seeds of a backlash. One of Franken’s accusers says he touched her bare back during selfie. Say a top cancer doc did that. Should he be fired? Proportion still matters.

It’s definitely a hot mess.

So we should ignore the the other 7 accusers because one wasn't as bad? You sure you don't want to rethink this position?

My jaw is dropping. You seem to be arguing that people who are worth a lot to their employers should get away with crap.

Where exactly is Alter going with this? Do we really want to know?
Well, time to update my bingo board https://t.co/C8jF3YMuG3

Update:
We missed this earlier. And we’re really, really sorry we did:
Democrats will rue the day they demanded @alfranken resign. They’ve given into the conflation of crimes (Weinstein, Moore) and power abuse (bosses) with boorishness. It won’t get more women voters and will lose more anti- PC men. Sucker’s game.
