Trumpster Gingrich loves Al Franken, resignation won't keep Newt from defending Al ...... Speaking on Sunday, Franken’s new best friend said: “He’s never faced his accusers. He’s never had due process. He’s never had an opportunity to clear his name,” Gingrich told “Fox News Sunday” when asked why the calls for Franken to step aside were “a lynching.” He’s not on trial. This is a matter of character and apparently, his is lacking. “Now a million people had elected him. And 30 people decided he was inappropriate. Now they haven’t decided yet that Bob Menendez, by the way, who has a much more interesting story to tell, is inappropriate,” Gingrich added, referring to Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), whose federal corruption case last month ended in a mistrial. Some of those people elected him from the trunk of a car. ...... Just because it seems Franken is being scapegoated, however, that doesn’t mean he’s being judged unfairly. “I mean, there was no objective force to kick him out,” Gingrich added of Franken. “He wasn’t going to be expelled. He just couldn’t take the social ostracism.” Well, I’m going to try and feel really bad for Al Franken. In the meantime, I think it would be closer to the truth to say Gingrich’s motives are not completely out of compassion and concern that Franken be given a break. I think, if we’re being honest, a lot of it has to do with the fact that the Republican party compromised their claim to the moral high ground in 2016, and those chickens have come home to roost. redstate.com Trumpsterism = moral erosion!
