Democratic senators, staff and family members were somber yet emotional as they watched Minnesota Sen. Al Franken say he would resign.
~ Video of Sen. Al Franken giving his final, impassioned speech from the well of the U.S. Senate
Franken's family members sat in the Senate gallery, some of them crying. Staff lined up in the back of the chamber, stone faced. And around 18 Democratic senators quietly listened to his speech on the floor. No Republicans were present except the chamber's presiding officer, Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan.
Democrats who sat and listened to Franken's speech included Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the first to call Wednesday for Franken to resign.
Franken was facing multiple sexual misconduct allegations. After his 11 minute speech, Democrats lined up to hug him. ...
Hmmm ... when they hugged him, did Franken take one last opportunity to give Gillibrand's ample ass a good-bye squeeze? Inquiring minds want to know!
I guess it is a good thing that dirty Uncle Joe Gropey no longer has a position to resign from, eh?
