Republican ex-governor calls for Al Franken to stay in Senate

I keep vacillating in my opinion about whether Al Franken should really have been forced to resign. My initial response was that of expediency; nothing must muddy the waters for the Progressive cause. If Al Franken was the sacrificial lamb so be it, false equivalence, be damned. Too quick? A Republican ex-governor may have said it best.

B. What he did was not a hanging offense.

C. If he stays the Senate should look at his conduct while he been in office... not the prior stuff. If the senate goes back to old stuff everything anyone did i high school would be fair game.

Conduct while a senator is senate business; conduct prior is for the police, civil courts and the voters
