Democrats are quick to criticize Trump, but what do they say about Al Franken? Do I smell hypocrisy here?

They have been. Many of them. It's all over CNN and the papers. All the buildings run CNN so that's all I heard on Friday.

Get this... Franken apologized to his victim. Publicly. She also publicly accepted it. People usually drop the subject after that.

Not many people admit their mistake and apologize. It would make me reconsider casting that first stone.
@SW-User Bernie Sanders makes excuses for Franken and he's a big Trump basher!

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dodged when asked if Sen. Al Franken should resign after being accused of forcibly kissing and groping a woman 10 years ago.

When asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if he felt the accusations against Franken by Leanne Tweeden, along with a photo showing Franken appearing to grope Tweeden over her flack jacket while on a USO tour in 2006, Sanders demurred.

“I think that's a decision for Al Franken and the people of the state of Minnesota,” Sanders said. “My understanding is that Al is a very poplar senator. People in Minnesota think that he is doing a good job and his political future will rest with the people of Minnesota.”

Bernie Sanders is one man. In all honesty... many "liberals" hate him.
