In reply to the discussion: Who is the pro-Franken Presidential candidate? [View all]Pachamama
(16,943 posts)23. She was NOT part of the Gillibrand Lynch mob
It is really dishonest to try to position what Klobuchar has on her Facebook page and position it as a call for him to resign.
In interviews she has been very clear on this and did not stand next to Gillibrand and the other backstabbing colleagues who do not believe in due process. She basically backed whatever Franken decided to do. And he did not resign yet.
