Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) on Monday hesitated to call out Hillary Clinton for ignoring recommendations to fire a top adviser accused of sexual harassment moments before saying “no one is above criticism” when it comes to sexual misconduct.
Gillibrand, whose named has been floated as a potential 2020 presidential candidate, appeared on ABC’s “The View” to discuss her efforts “leading the charge to take on sexual misconduct in Washington, D.C.”
The senator first called on national Republicans to return any campaign donations they received from Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas casino magnate and former finance chairman of the Republican National Committee. Wynn resigned from his post with the RNC over the weekend after the Wall Street Journal reported numerous allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against him.
“The near silence is deafening coming from the Republicans. I really believe this should not be about any one party; it should not be partisan,” Gillibrand said. “This kind of behavior is not OK, it is not acceptable. We need accountability … I think Republicans need to speak out … and hold their own accountable.”
