>>AL FRANKEN HAS RESIGNED, HE WAS A MINNESOTA SENATOR, HE HAD
BEEN BESIEGED BY EIGHT DIFFERENT WOMEN COMING FORWARD WITH
ALLEGATIONS OF INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS WOMEN.
AND OF
COURSE WE HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WELL, AND I
THOUGHT AND ETHICS INVESTIGATION SHOULD HAPPEN, IT TURNS OUT IT'S
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE A LOT OF THE DEMOCRATS PRESSURED
HIM TO RESIGN AND HE DID THAT TODAY.
HAVING WATCHED HIS
SPEECH, I'M NOT SURE HE SHOULD HAVE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT
TOGETHER, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CRITICIZING THIS
SPEECH, BUT I MIGHT GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
LET'S WATCH THE FIRST PART.
>>I FELT THAT WE HAD ENTERED AN IMPORTANT MOMENT IN THE HISTORY
OF THIS COUNTRY, WE WERE FINALLY BEGINNING TO LISTEN TO WOMEN
ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH MEN'S ACTIONS AFFECT THEM.
THE MOMENT
WAS LONG OVERDUE.
I WAS EXCITED FOR THAT CONVERSATION AND
HOPEFUL THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN REAL CHANGE THAT MADE LIFE
BETTER FOR WOMEN ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IN EVERY PART OF OUR
SOCIETY.
THEN THE CONVERSATION TURNED TO ME.
OVER THE LAST FEW
WEEKS, NUMBER OF WOMEN HAVE COME FORWARD TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY
FELT MY ACTIONS HAD AFFECTED THEM.
I WAS SHOCKED, I WAS
UPSET, BUT IN RESPONDING TO THEIR CLAIMS I ALSO WANTED TO BE
RESPECTFUL OF THAT BROADER CONVERSATION, BECAUSE ALL WOMEN
DESERVE TO BE HEARD, AND THEIR EXPERIENCES TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
I
THINK THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
I ALSO THINK IT GAVE SOME
PEOPLE THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT I WAS ADMITTING TO DOING THINGS
THAT IN FACT I HAVEN'T DONE.
SOME OF THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST
ME ARE SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
OTHERS, I REMEMBER VERY DIFFERENTLY.
I
SAID AT THE OUTSET THAT THE ETHICS COMMITTEE WAS THE RIGHT
VENUE FOR THESE ALLEGATIONS TO BE HEARD, AND INVESTIGATED, AND
EVALUATED ON THEIR MERITS, THAT I WAS PREPARED TO COOPERATE
FULLY, AND THAT I WAS CONFIDENT IN THE OUTCOME.
>>HE SHOULDN'T HAVE RESIGNED.
HE DOESN'T THINK HE DID IT.
I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER HE DID IT OR NOT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ETHICS
INVESTIGATION WOULD HAVE CONCLUDED.
IT IS ENTIRELY
POSSIBLE THAT IT WOULD HAVE CONCLUDED THAT HE DID DO IT.
THERE ARE EIGHT WOMEN.
BUT IF YOU THINK YOU DIDN'T DO IT,
DON'T GET PRESSURED BY NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER AND
WHICHEVER OTHER BRAHMINS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THINK IT IS A
GENIUS POLITICAL MOVE FOR YOU TO RESIGN SO THEY CAN MAYBE WIN THE
ALABAMA SEAT.
LOOK, IF YOU THINK YOU DIDN'T DO IT, FIGHT.
IF YOU
DID DO IT, THEN ADMIT THAT YOU DID IT.
IT'S POSSIBLE AL FRANKEN
IS DOUBLY WRONG HERE, HE KNOWS HE DID IT BUT HE'S NOW SAYING
I'M RESIGNING BUT I DIDN'T REALLY DO IT, AND WHICH CASE
THAT IS INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE WOMEN THAT MADE THESE
ALLEGATIONS.
BUT IF YOU THINK YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT, YOU FIGHT.
I DON'T -- LOOK, IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY IN THIS CASE I'M A
LITTLE EXTRA SKEPTICAL, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN RIGHT, I'M NOT
SKEPTICAL, I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I THINK THE INVESTIGATION
SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED, BUT IS THERE A LITTLE BIT OF DOUBT
HERE?
YES, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
ROGER STONE TWEETED ABOUT
THE FIRST ACCUSATION BEFORE IT CAME OUT, SO THE RIGHT WING
HATCHET MAN KNEW THAT AN ATTACK AGAINST AL FRANKEN WAS COMING.
THE FIRST PERSON WHO ACCUSED HIM OF THAT, I'M DEFINITELY NOT
GETTING INTO HER PERSONAL LIFE, BUT SHE WORKS AT A RIGHT-WING
RADIO STATION.
OKAY.
IF SHE JUST WORKED AT A RIGHT-WING RADIO
STATION, OKAY, LEAVE IT.
ROGER STONE IS THE HATCHET MAN OF THE
REPUBLIC AND PARTY.
SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT HERE.
MOST OF
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACCUSED AL FRANKEN ARE ANONYMOUS.
THE LAST
ACCUSATION WAS THAT HE TOUCHED A WOMAN'S WAIST WHILE TAKING A
PICTURE.
I'M SORRY, BUT THAT'S NOT A THING.
IF SHE FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT IT THAT'S A CONVERSATION TO HAVE, YOU DON'T
DISMISS IT OUT OF HAND, BUT TOUCHING A WAIST WILL TAKING A
PICTURE, THAT'S NOT A THING.
AND AGAIN, I WANT TO TRIPLE
EMPHASIZE, I DON'T KNOW.
IT IS A LOT OF WOMEN AND IF HE DID DO IT
THEN BY ALL MEANS HE SHOULD LEAVE.
AND I'M NOT BIASED IN
FAVOR OF AL FRANKEN, IF YOU WATCH THIS SHOW YOU KNOW I HAVE
CRITICIZED HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, I DON'T THINK HE FOUGHT
ENOUGH FOR PROGRESSIVE POSITIONS.
BUT RIGHT IS RIGHT,
AND HERE I'LL GIVE HIM CREDIT ON THINGS HE DID FIGHT FOR.
HE WAS
A COSPONSOR OF THE BILL TO REAUTHORIZE AND STRENGTHEN THE
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT IN 2012, HE INTRODUCED A BILL IN
2015 TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR VICTIMS OF WORKPLACE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TO SEEK JUSTICE.
IF HE DID THOSE THINGS AND GROPED
WOMEN ANYWAY IT DOESN'T MATTER, HE SHOULD RESIGN.
BUT IF THERE'S
A QUESTION, THAT IS WHAT THE ETHICS INVESTIGATION IS SUPPOSED
TO BE FOR.
HERE IS MORE FROM FRANKEN'S RESIGNATION.
>>AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAS BEEN ABOUT HOW MEN ABUSE THEIR POWER
AND PRIVILEGE TO HURT WOMEN.
I AM PROUD THAT DURING MY TIME IN
THE SENATE I HAVE USED MY POWER TO BE A CHAMPION OF WOMEN, AND
THAT I HAVE EARNED A REPUTATION AS SOMEONE WHO RESPECTS THE
WOMEN I WORK ALONGSIDE EVERY DAY.
I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A
VERY DIFFERENT PICTURE OF ME PAINTED OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS,
BUT I KNOW WHO I REALLY AM.
SERVING IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE HAS BEEN THE GREAT HONOR OF MY LIFE.
I KNOW IN MY HEART
THAT NOTHING I HAVE DONE AS A SENATOR, NOTHING, HAS BROUGHT
DISHONOR ON THIS INSTITUTION.
AND I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE
ETHICS COMMITTEE WOULD AGREE.
NEVERTHELESS, TODAY I AM
ANNOUNCING THAT IN THE COMING WEEKS I WILL BE RESIGNING AS A
MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
>>EITHER ADMIT IT OR FIGHT IT.
HE SAYS HE'S SURE THE ETHICS
INVESTIGATION WOULD CLEAR HIM.
BY THE WAY, LET'S NOTE HERE THAT
HE SAID NOTHING HE HAS DONE AS A SENATOR WOULD DISHONOR THE
SENATE.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS BEING LAWYERLY THERE AND SAYING
I MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING EARLIER BUT NOT WHILE I WAS IN
THE SENATE.
THAT IS NOT A GREAT DISTINCTION, I DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S THE ONE HE WAS MAKING.
AND I'M NOT BIASED IN FAVOR OF
HIM, IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT POLITICS, HE'S GONE, AND HE WILL
BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER DEMOCRAT.
IN THAT SENSE IT HAS NO
POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS, I HOPE THE NEXT DEMOCRAT FIGHTS HARDER
FOR PROGRESSIVE POSITIONS.
YOU CAN AGREE, YOU CAN DISAGREE, BUT THIS ONE FEELS WEIRD.
HERE IS PART THREE.
>>THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH FEW WEEKS FOR ME, BUT I AM A VERY,
VERY LUCKY MAN.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY FAMILY THAT I
LOVE, AND THAT LOVES ME VERY MUCH.
I'M GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
>>PEOPLE CRITICIZED HIM FOR SAYING THAT.
LOOK, IF HE DID IT,
HE SHOULD PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE TO THE WOMEN HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF
IN THOSE MOMENTS, AND SHOULDN'T BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIMSELF.
BUT
HAS IT BEEN A TOUGH COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR AL FRANKEN?
IT HAS.
IF
HE DID IT, HE DESERVED IT TO BE A TOUGH COUPLE OF WEEKS AND HE
SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE GRABBING WOMEN AND PUTTING THEM
IN A TERRIBLY AWKWARD POSITION.
THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD THE ETHICS
INVESTIGATION.
NOW WE WILL LITERALLY NEVER KNOW.
ONE LAST
PART HERE WHERE I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH HIM.
>>I OF ALL PEOPLE AM AWARE THAT THERE IS SOME IRONY IN THE FACT
THAT I AM LEAVING WHILE A MAN THAT HAS BRAGGED ON TAPE ABOUT
HIS HISTORY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT SITS IN THE OVAL OFFICE, AND A
MAN WHO HAS REPEATEDLY PREYED ON YOUNG GIRLS CAMPAIGNS FOR THE
SENATE WITH THE FULL SUPPORT OF HIS PARTY.
BUT THIS DECISION IS
NOT ABOUT ME.
IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA.
AND IT HAS
BECOME CLEAR THAT I CAN'T BOTH PURSUE THE ETHICS COMMITTEE
PROCESS AND AT THE SAME TIME REMAIN AN EFFECTIVE SENATOR FOR
THEM.
>>LOOK, THE LAST PART I DON'T AGREE WITH.
THIS WHOLE IDEA OF
DISTRACTION, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, DISTRACTION?
IT'S LIKE THE
THING DEMOCRATS SAY RIGHT BEFORE THEY THROW ONE OF THEIR OWN
UNDER A BUS.
I THINK YOU COULD BE AN EFFECTIVE SENATOR,
SENATORS BASICALLY DO NOTHING, SO YOU COULD STILL CONTINUE TO
DO THAT WORK WHILE PURSUING THE ETHICS INVESTIGATION TO ITS
CONCLUSION.
BUT THE PART I AGREE WITH IS WE KNOW AL FRANKEN IS
RESIGNING, WE KNOW DONALD TRUMP DID WORSE.
THERE ARE 16 OR 20
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, EVEN HIS EX-WIFE IN COURT
PAPERS SAYING RAPE.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HER, LOOK,
THESE ARE ALL UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS, BUT IF AL FRANKEN
IS RESIGNING, IN THE DIVORCE PAPERS DONALD TRUMP'S WIFE SAID
HE WAS MAD AT HER BECAUSE SHE SUGGESTED A DOCTOR FOR A HAIR
TRANSPLANT.
THE BUFFOON GOT A HAIR TRANSPLANT, BUT HE SAID IT
WAS PAINFUL, SO HE TOOK IT OUT ON HER BY RAPING HER.
BUT AL
FRANKEN HAS TO RESIGN, PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE TO?
HELL NO,
HELL NO.
THIS IS THE TINIEST LITTLE THING WE CAN DO BUT WE
ARE TRYING WHAT WE CAN, PETITION, TYTNETWORK.COM/RESIGN,
NOW THAT SENATOR AL FRANKEN HAS RESIGNED FOR INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR AGAINST WOMEN, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MUST ALSO
RESIGN FOR FAR WORSE BEHAVIOR TOWARD WOMEN.
WHERE IS THE
QUESTION?
IF THE NEW STANDARD IS YOU GET ACCUSED BY WOMEN, THERE
IS NO INVESTIGATION, YOU RESIGN, I UNDERSTAND.
AND A GREAT NUMBER
OF ACCUSATIONS RAISES EYEBROWS, IT DOES ABOUT FRANKEN, I DON'T
KNOW IF HE DID IT OR NOT, IF HE DID OF COURSE HE SHOULD RESIGN.
BUT IF FRANKEN RESIGNS BASED ON FAR LESS ACCUSATIONS, AND IN
TRUMP'S CASE FAR WORSE BEHAVIOR, OF COURSE TRUMP SHOULD RESIGN.
WE SHOULD HAVE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SIGNED THE PETITION UNTIL
THE SON OF A BITCH RESIGNS.
WHY DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS
FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS?
IT'S TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS.
I'VE
GOT NO LOVE FOR AL FRANKEN BUT IF HE THINKS HE DIDN'T DO WHAT
HE SHOULD DO THE ETHICS INVESTIGATION AND WE SHOULD FIND
OUT.
IF HE THINKS I DID IT AND I DON'T WANT THE ETHICS
INVESTIGATION AND I'M STEPPING DOWN, THEN THAT WAS A TERRIBLE
RESIGNATION SPEECH BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING RID OF YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT, AND
TURNING AROUND AND SAYING YOU DIDN'T DO IT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHICH ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS THE CASE.
I DO KNOW IF FRANKEN
RESIGNS, TRUMP SHOULD DEFINITELY RESIGN.
NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS.
SURROUND THE WHITE HOUSE, SURROUND WASHINGTON, DC, MARCH
EVERY DAY UNTIL HE RESIGNS.
I FAIL TO SEE UNDER WHAT POSSIBLE
STANDARD SHOULD FRANKEN RESIGN BUT TRUMP SHOULDN'T. IT MAKES NO
SENSE AT ALL.
