Sen. Tina Smith doesn’t want to talk about Al Franken.

When asked about her Democratic predecessor, who resigned the Minnesota
seat amid allegations of sexual misconduct, she avoided even saying his
name in this Women Rule interview. Instead, Smith is concentrating on
the economic implications of the #MeToo movement, as she trains her eye
on getting reelected this November.
