After initially praising the #MeToo movement, President Donald Trump has reportedly grown tired of women calling out sexual harassment and misconduct amidst the resurfacing of a number of allegations against him, according to Politico.

During the 2016 campaign, a number of women accused the president of groping, coming into their dressing rooms while they were changing and rape. The number of women who say they were assaulted by Trump now stands at 19, according to New York Magazine.

This week, three of those women, Rachel Crooks, Samantha Holvey and Jessica Leeds, appeared on Megyn Kelly Today to call for an official investigation into the allegations.

"It was heartbreaking last year," Holvey said. "We're private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and how he views women, and for them to say 'Eh, we don't care,' it hurt."

The women expressed hope that in the present climate, their narratives will no longer fall on deaf ears.

"If they were willing to investigate Senator Franken, it’s only fair that they do the same for Trump,” Crooks said.

Some in Congress aren't calling for an investigation: they're calling for a resignation.

As we reported earlier this week, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) thinks it is time for Trump to throw in the towel.

“I just watched Sen. Al Franken do the honorable thing and resign from his office," Booker said. "My question is, why isn’t Donald Trump doing the same thing — who has more serious allegations against him, with more women who have come forward. The fact pattern on him is far more damning than the fact pattern on Al Franken.”

And Booker isn't alone. Other leading Democrats feel the same.

"President Trump has committed assault, according to these women, and those are very credible allegations of misconduct and criminal activity, and he should be fully investigated and he should resign," Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) told CNN.

The president wasn't here for any criticism from Gillibrand. Not long after she made those comments, Trump tweeted:

And was immediately criticized for his his choice of language, particularly the part about "'begging' for campaign contributions" and being willing to "do anything for them."

Gillibrand called the tweet "a sexist smear" and "part of the president’s effort at name calling … intended to silence me," reports the USA Today.

Her colleagues were quick to have her back, with Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) tweeting that Trump is a “misogynist, compulsive liar and admitted sexual predator,” and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wrote, "Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame [sic] Senator Gillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with?"

Senator Jeff Merkley, (D-OR) said that Trump is only hurting himself by sending out tweets like this.

"He does a favor by drawing attention to this issue so I think it’s a boomerang back on the president," Merkley said, adding that the president's tweet "was intended to certainly harass her," and that he wants a hearing on the Hill to “get a clear, full chance to share that with the American people."

For her part, Gillibrand defiantly responded that the president "cannot silence me."

Including Booker and Gillibrand, the USA Today reports that six Congresspeople have called for the president's resignation due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

And Crooks doesn't think that's such a bad idea.

“Other folks have resigned," Crooks said, referring to the resignations of Al Franken and John Conyers. "I think he should. I don’t think he ever will.”

Trump is also facing pressure to address the allegation of sexual assault from members of his own administration.

This weekend, Trump's emissary to the U.N., Nikki Haley, said live on Face the Nation, “Women who accuse anyone [of sexual misconduct] should be heard. They should be heard and they should be dealt with. And I think we heard from them prior to the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

According to White House sources interviewed by the Associated Press, the president was "infuriated" to watch as Haley, "one of the highest-ranking women in the Trump administration, broke with the White House line and said the accusers' voices 'should be heard.'"

Still, The Washington Post reports that some in the president's corner believe he has nothing to worry about.

"They think he's invincible on this issue, because he survived the Access Hollywood tape," one Republican strategist close to the White House told the paper. "He was literally caught on tape saying he does this — it was a big deal — and he still won." 

Despite the audio, which as we reported not long ago, the president now says is fake, Trump has denied all of the women's allegations. According to The Hill,  the White House maintains that its official position is that all 19 of the women accusing the president of being a criminal are liars.

“These false claims, totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts, were addressed at length during last year’s campaign, and the American people voiced their judgment by delivering a decisive victory,” a White House spokesperson said early this week.
