The Right has always questioned Franken’s qualifications for the Senate. The revelations of sexual misconduct by the Minnesota  Democrat have added fuel to the fire. A roundup of editorials Friday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the Right:

1.  #MeToo hits the Hill

From The Boston Herald: It’s “physician heal thy self” when it comes to sexual harassment in Congress.

2.  Al Franken: Even Worse Than You Think:

From The Weekly Standard: Al Franken has a lot of issues that should disqualify him from serving in the Senate. This is just one of them.

3.  Al Franken, Harvard Man

From The American Spectator: Do Harvard men get an immunity pass? Franken has used his up.
