Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on Monday repeated her call for President Trump to vacate his position in response to the numerous sexual misconduct accusations he faces. "He has multiple allegations…over a dozen allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment," Gillibrand said during an appearance on ABC's 'The View.' "He should resign…he should be held accountable." Gillibrand also noted that if Trump won't leave voluntarily, then, "Congress should be [holding] hearings." The message is similar to the one she shared in mid-December as a number of women who accused Trump of wrongdoing prior to the election shared their stories again in hopes that the recent surge in accountability would push Congress to act. While Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Senator Al Franken, and many others experienced repercussions for their alleged actions, President Trump appears to have remained unscathed and well supported. In early December, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested the allegations against Trump have essentially been resolved, reports Axios. "We feel strongly the people of this country addressed it when they elected Donald Trump as president," she commented.
