Mitch
McConnell recently said that based merely on uncorroborated
allegations of sexual abuse, he would not allow Roy Moore to take a
seat in the Senate if the citizens of Alabama elected him to that
office.
But
when there is photographic evidence and even an admission of
culpability in the Al Franken abuse case, Mitch calls for an ethics
investigation, which is a process that goes on for years and ends up
as a cover-up for sitting Senate members, and there is never any
punishment for anything the Senator may have done that was improper
or illegal. There are many cases of sexual misconduct guilty verdicts
judged against sitting Senators every year and they are always
settled quietly, and the victim is paid off and silenced by the
government, at tax-payer expense. And the offending Senators remain
in office with full benefits and status.
I
don’t understand the double standard that is always tilted against
Republicans. It’s apparent that Roy Moore, himself a Republican, is
a political opponent of Mitch McConnell’s, and it seems that Al
Franken, a rabid leftist, is a political ally of McConnell’s. Talk
about your odd bed-fellows in politics and this is a classic example
of political oddness.
With
the admission and the photograph to use as evidence against Franken,
he should be drummed out of the Senate immediately instead of wasting
time and money with a worthless ethics investigation that will
assuredly end with him firmly seated in the Senate, and firmly
opposed to any and all of President Trump’s initiatives. And if the
people of Alabama elect Roy Moore, his entrance to the United States
Senate should not be impeded.
