President Trump early Tuesday blasted Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for coming to his office “begging” for donations, and as someone who “would do anything for them.”
The broadside against Gillibrand from Trump comes a day after the New York Democrat said Trump should resign from the presidency because of the accusations numerous women have made against him for sexual misconduct.
Gillibrand said the accusations against Trump are “credible” and should be investigated, and told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that the president should resign.
Less than 24 hours later, Trump was on Twitter calling Gillibrand a “flunky” for Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and a “lightweight” lawmaker.
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!

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. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv
