Republicans largely remained silent about the tweet, with Arizona Sen. The criticism of Trump largely came from one side of the aisle.

Republican lawmakers, who control both houses of Congress, have suggested that such a probe was unlikely. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island declared that Trump was “rather incontinent when it comes to tweets.”Īnd the Democratic Women’s Working Group held a news conference to demand that the House Oversight Committee investigate sexual misconduct allegations against Trump. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., said Trump had “proven to be a poison for the presidency, a cancer on the country, and a truly disgraceful human being.” Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., called it “an ugly and suggestive tweet, and we all know what he was trying to say there, and it is beneath the office of the presidency.” “He not only owes Kirsten an apology, he owes an apology to our entire country, particularly the women in this country.” He is an admitted sexual predator and the only thing that will stop him is his resignation,” Hirono said. Mazie Hirono also called for the president to step down, declaring that Trump’s “tweet against Kirsten was just another example of his misogyny.” Trump had not responded to earlier resignation calls from three male senators, Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democrats Cory Booker of New Jersey and Jeff Merkley of Oregon. Trump’s tweet Tuesday morning inflamed Democrats who said the president was again debasing a woman. And barring that, she said, “Congress should investigate the multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations against him.” Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!”Ī day earlier, Gillibrand said Trump should resign because there were credible accusations against him. Trump’s tweet Tuesday did not directly address sexual harassment, but said of Gillibrand: “Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. The phrase “she persisted” went viral earlier this year after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell silenced Warren as she tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King about then-attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted to the president: “Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame Do you know who you’re picking a fight with? Good luck with that, Nevertheless, #shepersisted.”
