Franken urged to reverse his resignation

Well the old bait n switch.
At least four senators are urging Al Franken to reconsider resigning, including two who issued statements calling for the resignation two weeks ago and said they now feel remorse over what they feel was a rush to judgment.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who urged Franken not to step down to begin with — at least not before he went through an Ethics Committee investigation — said the Minnesota senator was railroaded by fellow Democrats.
“What they did to Al was atrocious, the Democrats,” said West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin in an interview for POLITICO’s Off Message podcast to post on Tuesday.
Franken's unusual timeline — in his departure announcement he said he’d go “in the coming weeks,” without setting a date — has fed the fleeting hopes that there’s still time to reverse course. However, Tina Smith, Minnesota's Democratic lieutenant governor, was named last week as his appointed successor.

I can never get enough of Democrat hypocrisy. Seems like they get worse every time

Take moral high ground to prevent republican from being elected..reverse course after mission accomplished.
This could be seen a mile away. Democrats are hypocrites.

the minute he didn't pack up and head west you knew it was a rigged ploy.

Only the people of Alabama couldn't figure it out.
I like how the Dems are trying to make Creepy Al seem like the victim.

I am certain Gillibrand and the media will hold him to it.

Too perfect.
Of course, this will not impact the voting of the Dem base in the least.
By any means necessary...

Almost no one is shocked. It was quite clear this was always the plan.

Franken was stupid to have succumbed as he did. Dems were stupid to have denied him due process.
But now that he's resigned, he and Dems would be stupid not to honor his promise to step down. If he stays, this is one huge mess.

The only real surprise will be if he actually resigns

Kinky Kirsten will have to get off her knees and stop blowing for campaign donations first. Then she'll get to Franken.
