    Pelosi calls for second House Dem to step down amid harassment claims



    © Greg Nash

    House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) called for Rep. Ruben Kihuen (D-Nev.) to resign late Friday amid sexual harassment allegations.
    Kihuen is the second House Democrat that Pelosi has called on to step down in as many days in the wake of such allegations, following Rep. John Conyers Jr. (Mich.).

    “Across the nation, in every industry, brave women are coming forward to share stories of harassment that must be heard," Pelosi said in a statement after speaking with Kihuen on Friday night.“In Congress, no one should face sexual harassment in order to work in an office or in a campaign. The young woman’s documented account is convincing, and I commend her for the courage it took to come forward," she continued.
    “In light of these upsetting allegations, Congressman Kihuen should resign.”
    A representative for Kihuen didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
    A woman who previously worked as the finance director for Kihuen alleged that she was harassed by the Nevada Democrat while working on his 2016 campaign, BuzzFeed reported earlier Friday.

    Amid allegations of sexual harassment, embattled freshman Democratic Rep. Ruben Kihuen vowed he will not resign from his post, despite calls from Democratic leaders that he step aside.

    Instead, Kihuen is digging in with a shocking allegation of his own, taking aim at the leaders of his own party. In an interview with ABC News, Kihuen, D-Nev., said party leaders knew last year about a former campaign staffer’s allegations of misconduct but stood by his campaign nonetheless. Kihuen questioned why they are calling for his resignation now, more than a year later.
    “I do find it interesting that the DCCC, Leader [Nancy] Pelosi and Chairman Ben Ray Lujan -- they knew about these allegations last year,” Kihuen said. “They looked into them. They didn't find anything, and they continued investing millions of dollars in my campaign. They went out there and campaigned for me.”
