If the reason he’s supposed to resign is because the accusations are so unbearable to have him stay, why is he still there?
Via Fox News:
Democratic Sen. Al Franken resigned from Congress two weeks ago amid continuing sexual misconduct allegations. However, despite his replacement being appointed earlier this week, he’s yet to say when he’ll empty his Capitol Hill office and return to Minnesota, as he vowed after his Dec.7 resignation speech on the Senate floor.
“Tina Smith will make an excellent United States Senator. … I look forward to working with her on ensuring a speedy and seamless transition,” Franken said in a statement after the Minnesota lieutenant governor was appointed, with no mention of when he’ll leave.
In his resignation speech, Franken said only that he’ll be leaving in the “coming weeks.”
And multiple people on Capitol Hill, including those in Senate leadership, told Fox News that they doesn’t know when he’ll leave.
“I’ll be coming home,” was Franken’s only response to a Fox News question after his speech about future plans.
