I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I hate to see anybody railroaded for a political strategy. It’s well known that plenty of the other men in Congress have indiscretions in their past.

I guess Al makes a good scapegoat.

He’s about as far left of me as Mars. But, what his newly pious Dem colleagues did to him is just wrong.
