Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said she has no regrets about calling for the resignation of former Sen. Al Franken over sexual misconduct allegations
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said Monday she has no regrets about calling for the resignation of former Sen. Al Franken over sexual misconduct allegations.
Gillibrand, the first Senate Democrat to publicly urge Franken to vacate his seat in late 2017, was responding to a question about a recent New Yorker article in which seven current or former Democratic senators said they were wrong in calling for Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, to step down."There is no prize for someone who tries to hold accountable a powerful man who is good at his day job," Gillibrand said at a town hall hosted by Mic and Bustle Digital Group in Manhattan.
