What's The Difference Between Al Franken and Andrew Cuomo?

108. I'm not mad at anyone

Why does anyone have to be demonized over it? 39 senators all called for another to resign. They can all be criticized for making a bad call but Franken wasn’t the first elected democrat to resign and won’t be the last. He was replaced by Tina Smith, another good democrat, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Still obsessing about it and trashing one of the 39 about it over 7 years later is unfair and childish.

Comparing the two clips, the CNN one has all the usual graphics on a broadcast clip including the time, while the NBC has none of that so it obviously wasn’t broadcast live.

The media made Gillibrand the face of it. In NBC clip she’s not standing at the podium when it starts. She only moves there when a reporter asks her a question. The media likes simplistic narratives. I prefer to find out all the facts and consider all the evidence before making a judgment.

Here are a few articles from different sources that discuss the events back then. It’s very obvious that this was not the act of just one person but an highly coordinated effort by the democratic caucus.
