Sen. Al Franken raised his political profile the past couple months with sharp questions for cabinet nominees, turning up the volume on "He should run for president" internet buzz (though his office says he won't).
And the Minnesota lawmaker apparently has a big fan in David Letterman.
The retired talk show host gave a long interview to Vulture, which at one point discussed Letterman's eventual inclusion of politics in his Late Show. The interviewer said he was sick of people going crazy every time President Donald Trump tweets something, which Letterman responded by saying, "That’s my point: Let’s stop that."
Then Letterman said this:
"The only person I can trust anymore is Al Franken, who has a great brain and a great heart. I believe what he says."
