    He was more of a sketch comedian turned Senator/podcaster than an actor, but they DID hold Al Franken accountable. Some would say excessively so.

      Let’s see, Franken was a fierce advocate for clean energy, consumer protections and regulation on predatory corporations, and comprehensive immigration reform. He was well informed, well spoken, and starting to mount pressure which made the establishment politicians uncomfortable.

      Gee, it’s possibly a bit excessive he was forced to resign over allegations of…checks notes…unwanted kisses for photo ops, and a staged photo lining his hands up over a woman’s breasts during a comedy tour.

      He should have just grabbed them all by the pussy and told them to shut the hell up if you ask me.
