Al Franken on Hmong TV: Republicans ‘Don’t Want Certain Americans To Vote’

‘The election is 68 days away. Now I know that many of you have jobs. Many of you have families. Ignore them’

Al Franken Claims Republicans 'Don't Want Certain Americans to Vote' on Hmong TV (NewsBusters)

Al Franken is currently attempting to present to the general public the image of  someone who is willing to forge alliances with Republican senators as well as avoiding controversy by engaging in sweet corn filibusters when answering campaign questions. It is all part of his campaign strategy, along with refusing to debate his opponent, to run out the clock to election day.

However, when he thinks he can get away with it, Franken will pull out the race card and basically accuse Republicans of racism for supposedly wanting to suppress the vote of "certain Americans" as you can see at the 3:07 mark (and after the jump) in this Hmong TV video. In stark contrast to the genial and confident Franken which is being presented out in public,  in the video he is bitterly divisive with an undertone of desperation.
