Pelosi: Nevada congressman should resign following sexual harassment accusations

Source: ABC News

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has joined the chairman of the House Democrats' campaign committee in calling on a first-term Democratic Nevada congressman to resign, following a report that he sexually harassed an aide during his 2016 congressional campaign.

In an article published by BuzzFeed Friday afternoon, Rep. Ruben Kihuen was accused of making repeated sexual advances toward his then-campaign finance director by a woman identified as "Samantha." BuzzFeed said it is withholding her surname at her request. Samantha alleges that Kihuen propositioned her for dates and sex, and twice touched her thighs without consent.

Samantha said she did not feel comfortable telling the campaign's leadership about the alleged harassment, so she quit.

This isn't a democrat or republican thing, its a power thing. These people get into office with everyone fawning over them and it goes right to their heads. If they weren't already like that to begin with.
Get rid of ALL those who are guilty.
