Perhaps it might have helped had someone quoted the words in full context, like so:

Is he really saying anything that lizards here haven’t already said in recent weeks?

I’m honestly not a big fan of the conflation argument with regards to Franken. There has to be a bar below legally actionable assault or discrimination for elected officials and the things Franken admitted to doing showed, I think, absolutely abysmal judgement to a degree that no full ethics investigation could ever exonerate. I also don’t think Democrats would be doing ourselves any favors by allowing the dearth of standards & integrity shown by Republicans to determine how we govern ourselves. This should be about how we exemplify our own ideals and not comparative optics.
