Gillibrand calls on Franken to resign
Says Minn. senator’s alleged behavior ‘cannot be tolerated’
In a sharply worded rebuke of a fellow lawmaker, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) called on Al Franken to resign after another woman came forward to charge the Minnesota senator of forcibly kissing her.
To date, seven women have alleged that Franken, a two-term senator, either groped them or forcibly kissed them.
Gillibrand made it clear in a statement on Twitter that she had heard enough.
