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.
