New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand rejected the notion that she should not have called for the resignation of former Minnesota Sen. Al Franken in early 2018, following a Monday report.

During an event on Monday evening, Gillibrand addressed a report from the New Yorker that named her as a primary conduit at the end of Franken’s time in the Senate following allegations of sexual misconduct. Gillibrand, who has advocated for “zero-tolerance” toward sexual misconduct, was the first lawmaker to come forward and call for Franken’s resignation.
