Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) took a cue from Jimmy Kimmel (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=news/mean-tweets/), reading mean tweets he's gotten about his support for Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KI_DorjrpE&feature=youtu.be) posted by her campaign.
Franken, who was a cast member on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" prior to his time in the U.S. Senate, has been tweeting his support for Clinton in the lead-up to the Minnesota caucus.
The #MNCaucus (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MNCaucus?src=hash) is a week away, but you should get involved today! #ImWithHer (https://twitter.com/hashtag/ImWithHer?src=hash) because she's always been with us. #FF (https://twitter.com/hashtag/FF?src=hash) @HillaryforMN (https://twitter.com/HillaryforMN)
— Al Franken (@alfranken) February 19, 2016 (https://twitter.com/alfranken/status/700760407972122629)
In the video, Franken responds to criticisms about Clinton's campaign and, uh, "Mad TV."
"'Mad TV sucked,'" Franken read. "OK, I'm gonna say that was a joke."
Franken also jokes about the "establishment matrix" and talks about his work with both Clinton and her rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
