Harassment: Franken didn’t deserve fate

My mind cannot grasp what is real and what is not. Sen. Al Franken, a man of such integrity, is tossed aside like rubbish with no due process, as our president is breaking our world into pieces.

Franken has been taken down by his own party, whose leaders think they are better off without him. I am not so sure.

Finding a scapegoat within the party to take the pressure off the Democrats seems wrong when there is such important work to be done.
