Al Franken has been a leader with a strong voice in the senate for issues that are important to women. He should be allowed to go through the ethics review that he called for regarding these women's accusations against him. As Democratic female leaders in the senate, I expect you to use critical thinking and weigh the facts before coming to a conclusion. The majority of Al Franken's accusers have remained anonymous, and what they are accusing Senator Franken of, is not morally equivalent to Roy Moore or others who have had much more serious accusations. 

We need Al Franken's leadership in the senate. If after the ethics review, or if there are more serious allegations, only then should you be calling for him to resign.
