It’s been just over two weeks since San Diego Democrat mayor Bob Filner issued a video apologizing for sexually harrassing female employees, saying, “As someone who has spent a lifetime fighting for equality for all people, I am embarrassed to admit that I have failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me, and that at times I have intimidated them.”
But it’s only today that Democratic National Committee chairwoman Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz saw fit to call on Filner to resigner.
“The misconduct Mayor Bob Filner has been accused of is reprehensible and indefensible,” she said in a statement today.
“For the good of the City of San Diego, I call on Mayor Filner to resign,” Wasserman-Schultz added.
Apparently, a Democrat mayor accused of sexually harrassing female employees is only a cause for concern and calls for resignation when news story’s been ongoing fifteen days.
