Sen. Klobuchar Gets Emotional at Al Franken’s Farewell: ‘We Will Stay Friends Forever’

‘Thank you so much Senator Franken for your work’

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: "So one thing I know as you heard in his last speech that when Al leaves here, he will not be quieted in any way. His work will live on, his voice will be stronger than ever, and I think those last -- that last call of action that he left us with for a war for truth and for truth in what we do and truth in our politics is something that no one should forget in his chamber -- in this chamber. Because it is one way that Al’s work will live on, because I know he will keep calling people and the truth. And so I will no longer be sitting next to him in Judiciary, I know we will stay friends forever. So thank you so much Senator Franken for your work. I yield the floor.”
