A political pundit maintains that conservatives hold their applause about the news that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) might being forced to resign from office amid growing evidence of sexual misconduct.
A second woman has now come forward claiming that the Minnesota Democrat inappropriately touched her at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010.
Lindsay Menz made her allegation just days after the explosive claim by Los Angeles radio anchor Leann Tweeden, who said that Franken forcibly kissed and groped her during a USO tour in 2006.
Yet despite calls for the senator to resign, he has consummately refused.
Campaign for Working Families President Gary Bauer told American Family Radio (AFR) that if Franken does resign, the alternative could be even worse.
“I think he is in trouble,” Bauer expressed on Christian radio. “I think, as conservatives, we shouldn’t applaud too loudly, however, because there’s already a movement afoot in Minnesota that if he is forced to resign, to replace him with Congressman Keith Ellison, who would be the first Muslim senator, and who has a long record – not of sexual harassment, but of being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic … and a follower of Malcolm X and the whole black Muslim movement.”
Bauer also maintains that he is feeling better about the chances for Republican Roy Moore to win the special Senate race in Alabama next month – despite the claims of sexual misconduct by several women reported in the Washington Post.
“At this point it’s up to the people of Alabama,” the pro-family leader stressed. “I see some signs that they don’t like being told by the Washington Post who to vote for, so I think he could still win the race.”
Bauer believes that holding someone responsible for something that cannot be proven from 40 years ago, is a stretch.

When did the productive, mostly European Scandinavian founded State of Minnesota turn to unproductive Socialist state of confusion and social consumption? Beats the Bejabbers out of me.
Probably when NAFTA was enacted, and quite a few from (bordering Provinces) MB and (mor)ON moved in….
I’m glad someone finally noticed. I always gave the people of Minnesota too much credit for intelligence. If Ryan and McConnell can support an Alabama Democrat, I guess it’s OK for me to support a Minnesota Democrat.
When they elected Jesse Ventura as governor. After that, the Libs knew they would fall for anything.
IMO their decline started under CLinton when he started settling Afgan and Somalian refugees there, turning the state from a large scandanavian majority to where its now got a sizable mudslime population..
Trading one communist for a terrorist lover. What a disgrace this Country has become, when communists and terrorist lovers are in the House and Senate!
More accurately trading a white terrorist-loving commie for a black one.
It certainly is a disgrace, when mudslime lovin terrorist sympathizers are held up as paragons of what a senator should be, but someone who defends the 10 commandments is unfit for office..
Leave Franken in. It is a civil matter and not a criminal matter. Let the voters decide if he represents their values. Unlike Conyers, Franken did not use public funds to mask his indiscretions.
I know of no legal basis that would entitle Ellison to fill a vacated senate seat. Actually, I find Ellison more audacious than intelligent and would just assume he go back under his rock.
“if Franken does resign, the alternative could be even worse.”
There is always a potentially worse liberal, socialist, perverted, anti-American, freak waiting to get elected as a Democrat. That should never stop us from trying to pry each and every one of them loose.
If we can pressure Franken out of office, we should.
And if Franken does get forced out, WHY SHOULD an already existing senator be tapped to replace him? SHOULDN’T it go to the voters to decide who takes over??
DrGadget – Maybe the Minnesotans can get the porn star and Coolio to fill the seat to keep them from running for president in 2020…
At least Frankenstein is relatively low key. Ellison is anything BUT. I foresee a tidal wave of Libs and Muslims pushing Minnesota to kick Stuart Smalley to the curb.
And seeing how chocka block full Minessota is with mudslimes i can easily see them voting IN one of their fellow mudslimes, just so they can have him push for more sharia law courts there..
If deeds and words do not lie, Ellison is the Black reincarnation of Hitler. This idiot is prepared to shred the Constitution and use it for A.W.
Do you mean T.P.?
‘Growing’…. how much evidence do they need. Throw the pervert out.
Well its just like How much evidence do we need against MUELLER to prompt them to SHUT HIS DAMN witch hunt down??
The latest on him is
[Robert Mueller, who is the special counsel in charge of the Russia investigation, oversaw the FBI when the agency allegedly hid evidence it had collected that showed that Russian officials were engaged in a bribery scheme aimed at growing their atomic energy business inside the United States.
The details were outlined in a report on Tuesday which showed that the evidence was withheld even from lawmakers as they questioned the Obama administration’s approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s Rosatom, which led to Russia controlling 20% of U.S. uranium.
Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee during the time the FBI probe was being conducted, told The Hill that he was never made aware of anything regarding “Russian nuclear corruption,” though many of his fellow lawmakers were concerned about the deal, which was also approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department…
“The Russian efforts to manipulate our American political enterprise is breathtaking.”]
