Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., slammed President Trump on Tuesday for the “shame” he has introduced to the White House, and said he can’t silence her or other women.
“You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office,” Gillibrand tweeted Tuesday.

Earlier Tuesday morning, Trump claimed Gillibrand used to beg him for money before teaming up with fellow New York senator, Chuck Schumer, against him.
“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!” Trump tweeted.

Gillibrand has joined other Democrats who have said Trump needs to step down after several women reiterated their claims that Trump sexually harassed them. On Monday, three of his accusers appeared on NBC’s “Today with Megyn Kelly” to discuss Trump’s inappropriate sexual advances.
In response, Gillibrand called on Trump to resign.
“These allegations are credible, they are numerous,” Gillibrand told CNN. “I’ve heard these women’s testimony, and many of them are heartbreaking. President Trump should resign his position.”
