Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Sunday she believes Congress should hold President Trump accountable for the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him.
“I think he should resign, and if he’s unwilling to do that, which is what I assume, then Congress should hold him accountable. We’re obligated to have hearings,” Gillibrand said in an interview with CBS's “60 Minutes.”
Gillibrand, who was among the first to call for former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to resign due to sexual misconduct allegations, was also one of several Democratic senators who late last year said Trump should resign due to sexual misconduct allegations that surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign.
If he did not resign, the senators and some of Trump’s accusers said Congress should investigate the claims. When asked on "60 Minutes" why it took until late last year to call for Trump to be held accountable, Gillibrand said "something changed" when he was elected, "and I think it changed for women."
Trump attacked Gillibrand on Twitter after she called for his resignation, saying she would “do anything” for campaign donations.
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday criticized the senator for protecting and defending Bill Clinton when he was accused of sexual misconduct. Clinton left office in 2000, and Gillibrand was elected to Congress in 2006.
Gillibrand, who recently said Clinton should have resigned at the time, told “60 Minutes” her perspective on the allegations against the former president has changed.
“I think I’m not alone here. Like, how many of us were having this conversation even a year ago?” she said. “I think we’re all learning.”
She declined to say whether she’s spoken to the Clintons since she changed her stance, but added that Hillary Clinton is still her “greatest role model in politics.”
These are not the words of a serious person, let alone a US senator.
That single statement says more than an entire set of encyclopedias ever could.
Yeah, pure political posturing. I would loved for them to run on stuff like this and see them crying because they don’t get the wins and results they think they will get from it
Maybe she will be primaried by .... Chelsea. /S
The bottom line is that these “allegations” are not High Crimes and misdemeanors....
Do you think the Fainting Felon would have resigned over the PROVEN charges that she violated the Espionage Act?
Why don’t you resign ya fat has been with a foul mouth.
Absolutely!
I think she knows the jig is up for Democrats once the IG report comes out. This is just one last ditch effort to rally the troops. Time is running out, they know it and they’re desperate. What do they have to lose?
Each pervert dem is expected to issue some kind of anti-Trump inanity at least twice per week. It’s a mandatory minimum to keep pedo privileges.
Didn’t the house vote on starting impeachment procedures in early Decemeber and even some dems voted no?

Friend of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
That’s all we need to know.
I can’t believe those retarded democrat voters. They elect a dizzy broad who has no clue how the U.S. Government works. Sorry Gillibrand, this isn’t Mexico, Red China or North Korea.
Thanks jazusamo. And Hitlery the Enabler and Grifter is still her greatest role model? You know why? Because KG is a lying hypocrite and demagogue.
Let’s find out just how much this little lady has taken from Bill, Hillary, and the Clinton Foundation, combined....
Yep. IT’s a lot.
Good pound sand Gillibrand.

Last chance to call Hillary a saint.
Now you see why I’ve been posting forever about what a complete idiot Gillibrand is. Because, she IS!
