dec 18 2017 Some Democratic senators now regret pushing accused groper Sen. Al Franken to resign, and are urging him to stay on, according to a new report.

“I think we acted prematurely, before we had all the facts,” one anonymous senator told Politico. “In retrospect, I think we acted too fast.”

Franken reluctantly bowed to his colleagues’ demands to step down earlier this month after he was accused of sexual assault by eight women, saying he’d leave the Senate “in the coming weeks.” Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith has been tapped as his replacement.

But at least four senators — including three who initially joined the chorus demanding the handsy lawmaker step down — now want the Minnesota pol to reconsider his planned January exit, the site reports.

Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, who publicly demanded Franken resign at the time, is also said to be among those having regrets, Politico reports.

Some Democratic donors are on board, too.

“I and many other people — and specifically feminists — feel that it’s not too late, that he should not resign, and that the rush to sweep him out was ill-conceived, and we think that he has been supportive of women and women’s issues,” said retired New York state Supreme Court judge Emily Jane Goodman.

I don't think they are that stupid, they are clueless, as are most Liberals, but not that stupid

I called it, the whole moral high ground stuff was nothing but a cheap political ploy.

Dems are morally bankrupt.

I think everyone called this. When franken said he would resign in upcoming weeks everyone asked themselves "why not right now?"

What's so special about Franken? As a legislator, he holds the most easily replaceable job in the world, and Minnesota has a Dem governor to ensure another leftist takes his place.

So you're OK with what Franken did to women?

Clearly you have no problem with what Franken did to women. Maybe your bitch was one of them.

Franken was defended by scores of women from places that he had worked with female staff that wrote group letters to praise his treatment of them while working with them

Doesn't change what he did to women. Are you made because you weren't one of them?

I hope he doesn't resign.

The things he's accused of, crude and ungentlemanly as they are, barely merit censure much less forced resignation.

At least he fessed up and admitted he'd misbehaved, unlike Trump and Moore who sleazily lie and deny.

The whole faux outrage over the possibility that Franken might not step down is for nothing else but deflecting attention from Trump's sleaze.

He was a good representative to his constituents, it’s unfortunate.

No offense, but it wasn't a hard prediction to make.

Franken should only resign when Trump does.
