Even after eight women told reporters that the Minnesota Democrat had groped or forcibly kissed them, Franken denied he had done anything wrong. Political observers say the speed with which Democrats forced Franken and Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers, the longest-serving member of Congress, to resign over sexual misconduct allegations is breathtaking. He said it was ironic that he is leaving office when President Trump, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, sits in the Oval Office. Of course, the new sensitivity and attention being paid to sexual misconduct allegations is welcome and long overdue. And the rest of us shouldn’t be subjected to the hypocrisy of people who’ve downplayed the issue of sexual misconduct for years from turning it into a political football.
