After gropey Minnesota senator Al Franken finally declared his official resignation in the wake of a numerous allegations against him of sexual misconduct, his friend -- purported comedienne Sarah Silverman -- revealed that she was "sad" for him and wishes that the 66-year-old had stayed in office.
Fox News reports that Silverman told the celebrity gossip site TMZ that "while she respects the women who accused Franken of sexual misconduct," she felt that he truly cared about his constituents.
"I happen to know him for decades and decades and I can tell you that all he cares about is the well-being of the lives of his constituents in Minnesota. It's just all he thinks about, it's all he cares about -- and his wife."
Don't forget about the half dozen or more women who came forward to accuse him of groping and propositioning them. He cared about them too, in his way.
Silverman said she's also "sad" because "we've taught our children" that the politicians who "take responsibility for their actions" end up losing their jobs, while "the ones that deny, deny, deny and lie and don't admit any wrongdoing," get to keep their jobs, just like "our president."
But Franken didn't take responsibility for his actions. Here is part of his December 7, 2017 statement in which he announced his vague intention to step down from the Senate:
"I also think [his response to harassment allegations] gave some people the false impression that I was admitting to doing things that in fact I haven't done. Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember very differently."
Then it took him nearly a month after his promise to step down to actually do so. Franken only "took responsibility" for his "actions" when he couldn't deny his guilt any longer. Meanwhile, President Trump has been proven guilty of no sexual harassment.
