After new allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against Franken emerged Wednesday, a slew of his colleagues in the Senate — led by Democratic women — called for him to resign. That spate of allegations and accusations has meant political leaders have been consistently asked to weigh in on new revelations, often meaning Republicans and Democrats are asked to opine on members of their own parties. Despite the White House press secretary saying the allegations against Moore were concerning, Trump himself argued Moore should be given the benefit of the doubt. That allegations against Trump exist means it’s worth also including past comments from political leaders about the allegations against former president Bill Clinton. The Republican leaders were both asked about the Trump allegations in the context of the race in Alabama.
