Dem Leadership Again Calls For Kihuen To Resign

After a second accuser has leveled sexual harassment allegations against Nevada Congressman Ruben Kihuen, Democratic Party leaders have again called for Kihuen to step down.

Kihuen has previously said he would not resign over accusations that he harassed a campaign finance aid in 2016 which were published Dec. 1 in a Buzzfeed article.

This week, another woman came forward to the Nevada Independent and claimed Kihuen repeatedly touched her inappropriately and sent hundreds of unwarranted, sexually suggestive text messages while he was a state senator in 2013 and 2015.

House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi and Representative Ben Ray Lujan, as well as other members of Nevada’s delegation have called for Kihuen to step down.
