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 hes unwilling to do that, which is what I assume, then Congress should hold him accountable. Were 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 Trumps 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 Im not alone here. Like, how many of us were having this conversation even a year ago? she said. I think were all learning.
She declined to say whether shes spoken to the Clintons since she changed her stance, but added that Hillary Clinton is still her greatest role model in politics.
She's NOT even going to be the nominee! Hillary supporters will take care of her disloyalty
Hey Kirsten!! Shut Up!
Is this an acknowledgement that the Russiagate story is a dud?
Wait- this coming from the political party of Bubba Clinton, LBJ and JFK?
The party that ran John Edwards as VP?
The party that ran Al “ happy endings” Gore as President?
That party??
There’s not many I’ll post from there but some I just can’t resist. :)
There comments are about 95% commie, rabid commie.
New York values.
We have to question the values of a state that would send the likes of Gillibrand and Schumer to the Senate.
Many here dangerously underestimate just how much democrats hate us...Trump is their focal point, but it is us they truly hate. Ponder on that for a while realizing they are completely serious about overthrowing our government...
BUMP!!
Ms Jellybean or whatever the hell her name is should walk backwards and screw herself.

Feeling a little froggy? Go ahead and “jump”, Beotch, and see what happens.
“These are not the words of a serious person, let alone a US senator.”
Its about the best you’ll get out of a democrat hag.
Has wild AL actually left the Building?
NY LOL Look at the gov and the city mayor and officials. Values? LOL.
She can hold hearings with her imaginary friends in a padded cell at a private facility.
But look on the bright side, she did advance one spot closer when Babs Boxer retired and another one when Al Franken resigned.
Gillibrand should resign because she’s a moron (seriously) and as such, is an embarrassment to the United States.
New Yorker, all you need to know.............
