Dean Phillips becomes first Democrat to call on Henry Cuellar to resign

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) became the first Democrat to call for fellow Rep. Henry Cuellar’s (D-TX) resignation on Friday following the Texas congressman’s indictment by the Department of Justice.

“While the bar for Federal indictment is high, trust in our government is low,” Phillips said. “That’s why office holders and candidates under indictment should resign or end their campaigns, including Sen. Bob Menendez, Donald Trump, & Rep. Henry Cuellar.”
