Democrats say President Trump 's tweets about Sen. Gillibrand are sexist crude
Plowing into the sexual harassment debate in a big way   President Donald Trump  laced into Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Tuesday  tweeting that the New York Democrat would come to his office "begging" for campaign contributions and "do anything" to get them. Democrats accused the president of making unsavory insinuations.
Gillibrand  D-N.Y.  who had called for  Trump 's resignation a day earlier because of allegations of sexual misconduct  called  Trump 's attack a "sexist smear attempting to silence my voice."
Standing up for Gillibrand  Sen. Elizabeth Warren  D-Mass.  tweeted to the president: "Are you really trying to bully  intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that  @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless  #shepersisted."
 Trump 's tweet Tuesday did not directly address sexual harassment  but said of Gillibrand: "Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand  a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office "begging" for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them)  is now in the ring fighting against  Trump . Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!"
A day earlier  Gillibrand said  Trump  should resign because there were credible accusations against  him . And barring that  she said  "Congress should investigate the multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations against  him ."
 Trump 's tweet Tuesday morning inflamed Democrats who said  the president  was again debasing a woman.  Trump  did not respond to similar resignation calls from Sen. Bernie Sanders  an independent from Vermont  and Democratic Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Jeff Merkley of Oregon.
Rep. John Yarmuth  D-Ky.  said  Trump  had "proven to be a poison for the presidency  a cancer on the country  and a truly disgraceful human being."
Patti Solis Doyle  a onetime Hillary Clinton campaign official  wrote that  Trump 's tweet made a "vile  disgusting implication" about Gillibrand.
Solis Doyle tweeted: "'And would do anything for them'. What does that mean  @realDonaldTrump?! You  a man  accused by more than a dozen credible women of assault and harassment  has the audacity make this vile  disgusting implication. SHAME!"
More than a dozen women came forward during last year's campaign  many in the wake of the "Access Hollywood" tape in which  Trump  is heard bragging about committing sexual assault  to say that the celebrity businessman had harassed them.
With each day seeming to bring new headlines that force men from positions of power  four of  Trump 's accusers re-upped their claims Monday  believing the national movement on sexual harassment should force change at the White House too.
 Trump  has denied the claims. In a heated exchange with reporters in the White House briefing room on Monday  press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders steadfastly dismissed accusations against the Republican president and suggested the issue had been litigated in  Trump 's favor on Election Day.
 Trump  donated $4 800 to Gillibrand's Senate campaign in 2010  according to federal campaign finance records. Before launching  his  presidential campaign   Trump  frequently bestowed donations on politicians of both parties.
To  his  accusers  the rising #MeToo movement is an occasion to ensure  he  is at last held accountable.
"It was heartbreaking last year. We're private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who  this man  is and how  he  views women  and for them to say  'Eh  we don't care ' it hurt " Samantha Holvey said Monday. The former beauty queen claimed that Trump ogled her and other Miss USA pageant contestants in their dressing room in 2006.
