Thursday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said now that Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has resigned over sexual misconduct accusations, President Donald Trump should also resign over his “track record, with more than 17 women, of horrific conduct.”

Merkley said, “Well, certainly he has not had a chance to go through the ethics process where the facts are really looked at, at closely. We’re going to have circumstances in the future where we’re going to really have to wrestle with this. Where there’s a report or two, what is the line? There’s not a clear line here.”

“But what we do know is this—that the individual Roy Moore, running in Alabama, has done things that are incredibly egregious, and he should drop out of that race right now,” he continued. “And by the way, for that matter, the president should resign, because he certainly has a track record, with more than 17 women, of horrific conduct.”
