Have Gillibrand, Pelosi, Schumer et al called on Trump to resign?

...or for his impeachment? you know, as they have spoken out so forcefully against Al Franken?

Trump's misconduct towards women has been much worse, but I haven't heard the democrats getting on their soapbox to speak out against it so vociferously as they have done to fellow democrat Al Franken.

or do their standards only apply to democrats?

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told CNN on Monday that President Donald Trump should resign over allegations of sexual assault.

"President Trump has committed assault, according to these women, and those are very credible allegations of misconduct and criminal activity, and he should be fully investigated and he should resign," Gillibrand told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview.

but I get a feeling Gillibrand's democratic colleagues don't share her sentiments when it comes to Trump, including Chuck Schumer and Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi.

Because I let Gilli fans be and Franken fans,of which I’m one, be.

But the article you post is dated Dec 11. After the Dec 6 letter to Franken. Five days
After shit had hit the fan and folks like me were livid at all those Senators and some scurried around trying to cover their collective asses.

I’m not saying Gilli is insincere but the timing of this statement seems pretty self preservational rather than anything else.
