Why Did Al Franken Resign While Trump Survives Scandals? | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines the resignation of Minnesota Senator Al Franken following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, questioning the glaring double standards in Washington that force Democratic lawmakers out while Donald Trump remains in the White House despite facing dozens of sexual assault allegations, while diving into congressional taxpayer-funded harassment settlements and the broader cultural roots of abuse and toxic masculinity.
