Three of President Trump's female accusers spoke with NBC's Megyn Kelly Monday about their experiences, all claiming he took advantage of them sexually. Former beauty pageant contestant Samntha Holvey alleged that Trump made her feel like "a piece of meat," Rachel Crooks, a former receptionist, claimed he forcibly kissed her, and Jessica Leeds, a traveling saleswoman, says he groped and kissed her on an airplane. The White House has dismissed them as "false claims," as Kelly reiterated on her show.
These women's stories, however, were enough to convince Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) that the president needs to step down "immediately." Should Trump resist those calls, Gillibrand is prepared to call for congressional hearings.
"I think he should immediately resign, and if he doesn't, we should have the investigation," she said, calling the allegations "credible."
Three of her colleagues, Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR), agree Trump needs to go. His crimes, they argue, are equal to or worse than those that derailed their colleague Al Franken's career.
"I just watched Senator Al Franken do the honorable thing and resign from his office," Booker said. "My question is, why isn't Donald Trump doing the same thing - who has more serious allegations against him, with more women who have come forward. The fact pattern on him is far more damning than the fact pattern on Al Franken."
House Democrats are just as busy in their quest to get Trump out of office. A whopping 58 representatives voted for a debate on the articles of impeachment introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), but it ultimately failed. In the articles, Green described Trump as a bigot who is "unfit" to serve.
Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi are trying to tamp down such efforts - at least for now.
"Now is not the time," she and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer told their fellow Democrats last week.
You might want to put some ice on that.
Every time I see “pound sand” on FR I think of JRandomFreeper our own /johnny. I still miss him.
The democrat rank and file found a Ugandan Prince who e-mailed them with a sweetheart of a financial deal "entirely credible," too!

Resign on the liberal schedule to vote against tax cuts. Crock a chit.
Eh, well, I don’t want to be an absolutist about it or anything!
Franken did not resign! Last time I checked he was still the senator from Minnesota
NEVER!
I want Dems to resign immediately for being UnAmerican..I have more of a right to ask them to than those morons asking Trump to resign...
They actually went through with it.
Many were saying that they were throwing Franken under the bus so they could go after Trump. What a stupid plan, I thought. They can’t be that dumb, can they?
I guess they can.
Yeah, where?
“I claim Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) sexually offended me. She must resign immediately.”
How did she do that? Show up, forcing you to look at her?
Al Franken, the comedian who became a joke, hasn’t resigned. Just ask him.

He said-he she-said and nothing else to go on equals “investigations” that go no where; with no rape, no violent sexual assault, no forced intercourse of any kind; so where do these women REALLY think their allegations will go.
They want them to go the way of Al Fraken, which was 100% what his “resignation” was all about - going for bigger fish on the same trial-by-media allegations basis.
Someone has led these gals down a path that is not going to lead where they thought it would. Trump isn’t going anywhere on their allegations.
