Gillibrand held a press conference later, where she doubled down on her criticism of the President’s behavior. “It was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice, and I will not be silenced on this issue. Neither will the women who stood up to the president yesterday.
About a dozen different women have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct. Senator Gillibrand urged Congress to open an investigation into the allegations because “it’s the right thing to do.”
More than 100 Democratic lawmakers in the House have signed a letter in support of an investigation by the House Oversight Committee. Other Democratic Senators have allied around Gillibrand. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal tweeted their support for her.
Furthermore, the irony in all of this is that Trump donated many times to Gillibrand’s campaigns over the years.
