I'm stunned right now. I think that Franken should have time to respond, but it would be prudent for  him to resign.

His actions today seem pretty good already. No resignation is necessary.
Sorry. No. Not with Roy Moore lurking around.

He needs to resign, but lets make a false equivalence here.
What false equivalence?

I am saying Roy Moore and Franken aren't comparable.

Franken should resign, but I don't want anyone to unintentionally conflate pedophilia with sexually harassment.
I just saw the picture. That's solid evidence, period. Oh my god...

It's deeply unfair to men of good character and/or people who are redeeming themselves that they resign just because of Roy Moore.
If you’re a sexual harasser you’re not a man of good character.

You can make a mistake and still be of good character. I'm not necessarily saying Franken's a good guy - I don't like him - but most men have made such mistakes in their lives. I'll bet many of your friends and family members have done similar things at times in their past.

As long as they apologize and endeavor to be better people, I see no reason why their lives should be destroyed.
These remain serious allegations, especially since there is HARD EVIDENCE (the photo)

The timing is deeply suspicious. Why she feel the need to wait until this moment to make these allegations? Leeann Tweeden is obviously a Moore supporter. When will republicans stop trying to smear a decent man?
I beg to differ. No matter who brings up the allegations, and the timing, we need to look into it. There's pretty solid evidence he did it, too, and he even ADMITTED to it.

The evidence is extremely strong, I think he should resign immediately. I mean, the picture. The picture.

At lest he is contrite. Moore is defiant.
True, but this doesn't excuse him from his actions nonetheless.
