Conyers lawyer wants to know why Dems aren't calling for Franken resignation

Even a broken clock is right

Yes, even a broken clock is right twice a day. After all, no Democratic senators have called on the embattled Al Franken to quit.

From the Detroit News:

Rep. John Conyers' attorney is demanding to know why Democratic lawmakers calling for Conyers’ resignation aren’t also urging the departure of Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat who also faces allegations of sexual harassment.

Attorney Arnold Reed last week noted that Franken has five accusers, while Conyers has four, alluding to a possible racial component to the calls for Conyers to resign. Conyers is black, and Franken is white.

"At the end of the day, Nancy Pelosi is going to have to explain, what is the discernible difference between Al Franken and John Conyers?" Reed told reporters.

"You have to ask Nancy Pelosi and the rest of them who are putting this pressure on the congressman and not these other individuals."
