Pelosi is desperately scrambling trying to figure out what to say after her disastrous comments praising Conyers.
Via NY Post:
Long Island Congressman Kathleen Rice on Monday called for Sen. Al Franken to step down, and tore into House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for not taking a tougher stance on sexual harassment.
Rice (D-Garden City) became the first House or Senate member to call for Franken (D-Minn.) to resign, in light of multiple accusations that he inappropriately touched women.
Asked on CNN if Franken should keep his job, Rice said: “I don’t think so.”
Rice later responded to a call on Twitter by Democratic consultant Lis Smith’s for Franken to step down by saying “Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for speaking up about this.”
