So-called independent talk radio host and CNN host Michael Smerconish made a fool of himself on Thursday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, arguing that he’s “not convinced” Democratic Senator Al Franken (Minn.) actually groped KABC Radio host Leeann Tweeden because “[t]here are shadows behind his fingers.”

Host Brooke Baldwin led Smerconish to this baffling statement by mentioning how Ari Fleischer tweeted that he didn’t think Franken should have offered his resignation on Thursday since the allegations were, in his mind, less serious than those against Republican Roy Moore and Democrat John Conyers.
