Tucker on Franken: Very Few Who Knew Him, Including Me, Aren’t Mourning His Departure

‘Franken’s office says he will make an announcement tomorrow’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "Franken’s office says he will make an announcement tomorrow. It is widely believed, and it is probably true, that he will announce he is leaving the Senate. Many on the right are reacting gleefully to all this, to what is happening to Franken, and you can understand the impulse. Franken was a mediocre senator and a thoroughly miserable person, cruel to those beneath him, narcissistic, monumentally self-righteous. Al Franken should have been exposed years ago for the nasty poser he always was. Instead, he was celebrated by the media, he was protected by the democratic establishment that found them useful. Very few people who knew Al Franken personally, including me, aren’t mourning his departure from Washington. Good riddance. But there is a downside to all this, for anyone who cares about justice or due process or, for that matter, living in a free country. Today’s calls for his resignation were sparked by a new resignation that he tried to after a radio interview. It certainly sounds possible. On the other hand the allegation is unproven. Worst, it is anonymous, and that means Franken can — cannot answer it."
