Al Franken is resigning. It's now your turn, GOP

Sen. Al Franken’s announcement Thursday that he will resign comes as a shock to few. For those with even the tiniest familiarity with politics and the reckoning of perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault, Franken’s resignation is a drop in the bucket compared to the growing number of men who have been accused of engaging in such behavior.

For Franken, the nail in the coffin was a seventh accuser, which spurred Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and dozens of other Democrats to call on the Minnesota senator and former “Saturday Night Live” comedy writer to step down.
