Let&#8217;s let Franks tell you himself. Here&#8217;s an excerpt from his statement announcing his resignation:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<em>Due to my familiarity and experience with the process of surrogacy, I clearly became insensitive as to how the discussion of such an intensely personal topic might affect others.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&quot;I have recently learned that the Ethics Committee is reviewing an inquiry regarding my discussion of surrogacy with two previous female subordinates, making each feel uncomfortable. I deeply regret that my discussion of this option and process in the workplace caused distress.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Um, what?&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/12\/07\/politics\/trent-franks-statement-analysis\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">CNN<\/a>&gt;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Franks just updated his resignation and resigned effective immediately.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">On the surface, this makes no sense at all.&#160; Asking a staffer to consider becoming a surrogate is certainly uncomfortable, but hardly criminal.&#160; However, when Lyin&#8217; Ryan asked Franks to step down, Lyin&#8217; Ryan said only that he found the accusations of wrongdoing to be credible.&#160; Lyin&#8217; Ryan has no problem with the many complaints of serial pussy grabbing by his Fuhrer.&#160; Lyin&#8217; Ryan still supports serial-pedophile, Roy Moore.&#160; So, for Lyin&#8217; Ryan to force Franks out, he must consider what Franks did even worse than what Trump or Moore did.&#160; What could that be?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">There is only one credible possibility.&#160; Franks must have threatened his staffers that, if they didn&#8217;t bear his child, he would wreck their future in government.&#160; Now, a normal GOP pervert demands the use of a woman&#8217;s body for long enough to use it for their own pleasure.&#160; But this GOP pervert demanded far more extensive control of women&#8217;s bodies for a full nine months, and that is why he deserves the parade.<\/font><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font color=\"#0000ff\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">RESIST THE REPUBLICAN REICH!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the one hundred fourth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.
