Senators calling for pervert's resignation!
CNN)Two Democratic senators called for President Donald Trump's resignation over the weekend, citing the multiple accusations from women of sexual harassment and assault against him.
Sens. Cory Booker and Jeff Merkley both voiced the sentiment. And Bernie Sanders joined them in calling for his resignation as well.
In an interview with Vice after a campaign rally for Democratic Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones, Booker said, "I just watched Sen. Al Franken do the honorable thing and resign from his office.
My question is, why isn't Donald Trump doing the same thing -- who has more serious allegations against him, with more women who have come forward. In fact the pattern on him is far more damning than the fact pattern on Al Franken."
Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota had previously announced that he would resign Thursday after multiple women came forward accusing him of groping and forcibly kissing them.

Senator Merkley added:"At least 17 women have accused Donald Trump of horrific sexual misconduct, and I believe them. Moreover, he's bragged on tape about that behavior. This is not about politics. This is not about policy. I disagree with him on many things, but this is not about that,"
Several women have accused Trump of sexual harassment, and a 2005 recording of Trump bragging about groping women was released during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump attributed his language on the tape to "locker room talk" and has denied any wrongdoing.

I think that the gig may be up. I believe the democrats sacrificed Franken so they could pursue this avenue 24/7 all cannons blasting.

Re: Senators calling for pervert's resignation!
The latest of five lawmakers in the chamber to ask for the perverts resignation is Kirsten Gillibrand
“President Trump should resign,” Gillibrand said during an interview on CNN. “These allegations are credible; they are numerous. I’ve heard these women’s testimony, and many of them are heartbreaking.”
The New York Democrat added that if Trump did not “immediately resign,” Congress “should have appropriate investigations of his behavior and hold him accountable.
”The remarks came on the heels of similar calls by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), all of whom urged the president to step down following the announced resignation of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) over sexual harassment allegations.
