Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand blasted Republicans for failing to speak out enough against Steve Wynn, who resigned as finance chairman of the Republican National Committee after publication of sexual misconduct allegations against him.
"The silence is deafening," said Gillibrand of New York said on ABC's "The View." “This kind of behavior is not OK. It’s not acceptable. We need accountability, and I think the Republicans should show far more leadership than they are today.”
Wynn, 76, a casino and real estate mogul, stepped down from the RNC on Saturday, just over 24 hours after publication of multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment against him.
Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan later announced he would give to charity a campaign donation he received from Wynn in 2016.
