Sen. Bernie Sanders dodged a question about whether Sen. Al Franken should resign after a Los Angeles TV and radio host accused the Minnesota Democrat of sexual misconduct this week.
“I think that’s a decision for Al Franken and the people of the state of Minnesota,” Sanders said when asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether Franken should step down.
“My understanding is that Al is a very popular senator. People in Minnesota think that he is doing a good job. And his political future will rest with the people of Minnesota.”
