U.S. Senator Pat Leahy (D-Vermont) originally said he'd wait for an Ethics Committee investigation of allegations of groping and other forms of sexual harassment against U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-Minneosta) before deciding whether Franken should go. Then, on December 6, Leahy called on Franken to resign; now, after U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) called the forced resignation announcement "hypocritical," Leahy is back to his original opinion.
