Sarah Silverman comments on Al Franken controversy

Sarah Silverman on 'The Last Laugh’ Cassandra Church/Starburns Audio “I can only just be honest and say, if I didn’t know Al Franken, I’d probably be like yeah, go girl, me too, fuck that shit. Because I do know him, I don’t feel that way. So maybe I’m too close to it and just seeing the dots not the big picture. But I just can’t believe it. The U.S.O. thing is bullshit and if you watch the sketch they did, give me a fucking break. He may be guilty of doing pedestrian comedy, I guess, but he apologized and she accepted his apology. But it does seem that the Republican Party— and I don’t think this is something to emulate at all—doesn’t apologize, denies everything, admits nothing and everyone keeps their job. And I hate that that’s what we teach our children. But if you apologize and say, ‘I want there to be an ethics investigation on me and I want to do everything by the book, this is my truth but I’m open to [the fact] that these women felt this way, I want to make this right,’ I don’t know why that person then loses their job.” HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031781
