Senator Al Franken ripped Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which many consider to be an anti-LGBT law, and urged David Letterman to run for state senate while appearing on CBS’ “Late Show” on Wednesday.
“What’s going on with the governor of my home state?” Letterman asked his guest, a former “Saturday Night Live” star who became a Minnesota senator in 2009.
“This was a very bad move,” Franken said. “In 1964 we kind of settled the idea that you have to serve people, even if you were biased in some way. And really the problem here is that LGBT Americans don’t have the same rights that pretty much everyone else has.”
