Any Democrats calling for Gaetz to resign?

Other than Pelosi and Lieu calling for him to be removed from his committee seat.

Has any other Democrats called for Gaetz to resign or step down?

The smart thing is to let him self distruct. Being vocal could become a ralling cry for repubs.

I would like to see every male repub congress memeber asked, "Did you see any photos?" Make them squirm!

When he is indicted and still in the House, then convicted and still in the House, the message sent to voters will be unmistakeable. And the GOP will have done all the work themselves.
