The right is still waiting for Al Franken to admit he did something wrong

In this image from video from Senate Television, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., speaks on the Senate floor of the Capitol in Washington, Thursday morning, Dec. 7, 2017. Franken said he will resign from the Senate in coming weeks following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations and a collapse of support from his Democratic colleagues, a swift political fall for a once-rising Democratic star.

Did Minnesota Sen. Al Franken’s resignation speech ring hollow? Some on the right sure thought so. A roundup of editorials Friday critiques Franken’s comments and the meaning behind them.

Opinions from the right:

1. Franken’s Phony Finale

From The American Spectator: From his speech, it seems Franken was the victim. If he wasn’t guilty, why did he resign?

2. Democrats forced Franken out to ramp up their strategy to bring down Trump

From Fox News: Maybe we missed it. Did Franken ever admit he did something wrong?
