In the latest twist in the sexual harassment controversies roiling Congress  Republicans have taken to defending  Democratic Sen. Al Franken .
Yes  thatâs right. While  Franken  announced Thursday  he  would resign in the âcoming weeksâ amid growing allegations of sexual misconduct  some Republicans are not so sure  he  should have to leave the Senate.
âWhat you saw today was a lynch mob â former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday on Laura Ingrahamâs Fox News show after at least 35 Democratic Senators called on  Franken  to step aside. âLetâs not have due process. Letâs not ask anybody any questions. Letâs not have any chance to have a hearing. Letâs just lynch him  because when we get done lynching him  weâll be so pure.â
Eight women have accused  Franken  of sexually harassing them  with the most recent being a woman who told Politico this week that  Franken  tried to forcibly kiss her in 2006.
But Gingrich is not alone in claiming the Democrats are not acting entirely out of sincere moral concern. When interviewing Gingrich on Wednesday  Ingraham also said she believes the Democrats are using  Franken âs situation to claim the moral high ground so they can try to take down Republicans accused of sexual misconduct like President Donald Trump and Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
They have used a variety of tactics to dismiss the claims against him  but many of them come down to Republicans saying they do not have proof he did anything wrong. That seems to be the argument GOPers are using again to defend  Franken .
And the Washington Examinerâs Byron York also raised concerns about  Franken  not receiving due process.

The Jacksonville Jaguars frittered away a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in losing 24-20 to  Tom Brady  and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game  yet their unraveling really began in the final 2Â½ minutes of the first half.
Danny Amendola's fair catch of Brad Nortman's punt at his 14 came with 2:02 remaining  which essentially gave  Brady  and Belichick an extra timeout with which to work.
On first-and-10 from his 40   Brady  threw a long pass for Rob Gronkowski  who was injured when  he  got popped by Barry Church on a helmet-to-helmet hit. Church was called for unnecessary roughness  putting the ball at the Jacksonville 45.
 Brady  started pushing the ball downfield to  his  receivers and the New England defense took away the short middle and dared Bortles to start making plays downfield  too.
While Bortles managed a single first down in the fourth quarter   Brady  came through with a pair of TD throws to Amendola.
Amendola had the crucial catch on the first TD drive  hauling in a 21-yard pass from  Brady  on third-and-18 in front of safety Tashaun Gipson  who said he figures he'd break up that pass nine out of 10 times.
It was  vintage Brady   too.
" He  is the greatest quarterback to ever play this game " Gipson said. "You can never have a safe lead with 12 at the helm. We knew we had to keep our foot on the gas."
The Patriots' comeback set up a Super Bowl 52 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles  who were miffed last week when the NFL mistakenly released an ad that featured  Brady  and Case Keenum with the Super Bowl trophy between  them   signifying a New England-Minnesota matchup.
Instead  it'll be Nick Foles and the Eagles  who routed the Vikings 38-7 in the NFC championship game  trying to dethrone  Brady  and the Patriots.

They will definitely still be talking about  Shaun  White.
It wasnât so much that  White  won  his  third gold medal to place  his  name among the greatest to compete in the Olympics  or in any realm of sports  for that matter.
It was the way  he  did it.
 His  winning run capped a contest that  even before  he  dropped in for the finale  was the best  in terms of pure difficulty  showmanship and guts that has ever been seen on a halfpipe.
It came with the heart-thumping pressure of knowing  he  had to land the most difficult run  he  ever attempted  or settle for silver.
It included back-to-back jumps  each with 1440 degrees of spin  that are  quite literally  death-defying. They were tricks  White  said afterward that  he  had never landed in succession â not in practice and  of course  never in a contest.
âI knew I had  it  in me â  he  said. âThe fear was out of the door. Iâm at the Olympics. I had to do  it . Iâm standing at the top  in my favorite position  with the pressure of the world and one run to go. Man  it brings out the best in me. Iâm so glad thatâs a part of me as a competitor.â
On the winning trip   White  got the tough stuff out of the way early  dropping straight into the halfpipe  flying nearly 20 feet above it and whipping  his  body around twice while going head-over-heels two times.  He  landed high enough on the wall to gather sufficient speed to head to the other side and essentially do a mirror image of the first trick.
From there   he  performed what  he  calls a Sky Hook â a 20-foot vault above the deck in which  he  bent  himself  into the shape of a comma  while grabbing the board and tweaking it up toward  his  backside to show judges the style they demand.  His  final trick was one  he  patented: the Double McTwist 1260  in which  he  took off from the wall for two flips with 1 Â½ twists  grabbing the board and practically wrestling it over  his  head to complete the jump and stick the landing.
 He  knew  he âd done it  but the wait â about 120 seconds â was agonizing.
The score came up. A 97.75. It was enough to beat Ayumu Hirano  the 5-foot-2  19-year-old from Japan who has been asked   quite often  exactly when  he  was going to beat Shaun White.
But it was Hirano  who now has back-to-back Olympic silvers  who set the stakes for these games by becoming the first man to land the back-to-back 14s at the Winter X Games last month. He did  it  again on his second run under a slate-gray sky in Pyeongchang to set the mark (95.25) that  White  would have to beat.
He did  it . Shortly after his winning score came up   White  was hugging friends and family and sobbing  almost uncontrollably â the sort of emotion rarely seen from the man who burst onto the scene as the ebullient redhead shredder dude  then grew into a multi-platform  megastar whose light shines well beyond any halfpipe.
 White  would be the first to admit that a lot of that fame came because of the Olympics. So the win wasnât so hard to put into perspective.
âHe ripped his face in half  more or less  and you can still see the scars â said Whiteâs coach  JJ Thomas. âAnd I donât know if anyone else in this world has the mental strength to overcome that fear and lay  it  down on the world stage.  It âs amazing. Heâs legendary.â
The debate is now on about where  exactly   White  stands in the pantheon of Olympic stars  or sports stars in general.
