Comme le nombre d'allégations d'inconduite sexuelle augmentait et que plusieurs de ses collègues du Sénat le pressaient de quitter ses fonctions, Al Franken a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'il se retirait. Dans sa déclaration il refuse cependant de reconnaître un comportement déviant et il pointe en direction du candidat républicain en Alabama Roy Moore ainsi qu'en direction du Président.
"The former rising Democratic star used his resignation speech to take aim at President Trump and Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who have not been forced aside despite facing arguably more serious allegations of sexual misconduct.
“There is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Franken said in a speech on the Senate floor."
