Durbin: No Political Calculation In Democrats Call For Franken To Resign

24/7 News Source — Senate Minority Leader Dick Durbin says there was no politics among Democrats in urging Senator Al Franken to resign in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations. 

The Illinois Democrat tells CBS' Face the Nation, "There was no political calculation in here. It was just a painful moment when we made a decision." 

Franken resigned from the Senate last Thursday.  

It followed calls from roughly two-dozen Democrats to do so.  

The Minnesota Democrat faces allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women.
