#believewomen(except about Franken, those women are Republican sluts) seems to be about to be replaced by #getthefuckoutson and #holyterribleopticsbatman.
6 women Democratic Senators have issued statements this morning, calling on Sen. Al Franken to immediately resign. I expect there will be more. And yeah, it’s time. The pushback on this site, as well as other progressive channels and the use of the Nuts and Sluts defense has been disgusting to watch.

six women senators in quick succession on Wednesday called for Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to step aside after a new accusation emerged from a woman who said the senator had sought to forcibly kiss her in a 2006 incident.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) was the first to release a statement calling for Franken to step down.
She was quickly followed by Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Mazie Hirono(D-Hawaii), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).
