"It’s disgusting. I never thought I’d say that about a president," Biden said on "CBS This Morning."

Gillibrand, a vocal advocate for reforming how Congress and the military handle sexual misconduct cases, has called on Trump to resign over the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

"Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump," the president tweeted in part the day before Biden's comments.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday pushed back on the claims that it was a sexual reference, saying those who interpreted as such had their minds in the "gutter."

Gillibrand, however, said she interpreted the tweet as a sexual innuendo.

“Well certainly that was how I and many people read it," Gillibrand said Wednesday on NBC's "Today."

"It was certainly just a sexist smear intended to silence me," she continued.

Earlier this week, three of Trump's accusers — Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks — banded together and called on Congress to open an investigation into their allegations against Trump, calls supported by scores of congressional Democrats.
