Two prominent Minnesota Democrats call on Al Franken to resign

Two prominent members of Minnesota's Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party are calling on Sen. Al Franken to resign his Senate seat following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Although many other Democrats have called the former comedian's actions disturbing, state auditor Rebecca Otto and Megan Thomas, president of the party's official Feminist Caucus, say he should leave office.

The allegations were made Thursday morning by radio host Leeann Tweeden, who said Franken harassed her during a 2006 USO trip to the Middle East, before he was elected to the Senate in 2008.

He shouldn't have to resign. If they throw away all the fraudulent votes he got, he never was elected anyway!

Senate has investigated 630 instances of inappropriate behavior and never removed anyone.
