A growing chorus of Democratic members of the United States Senate are now publicly calling on their embattled colleague from Minnesota, former comedian Al Franken, to resign from his post, and according to the Boston Globe, an aide for Massachusetts' Elizabeth Warren says the Cambridge Democrat has called on Franken privately to resign, as well.
