“From what I know, he should resign. And there will be more of these cases, and we want to make sure that the women feel supported and come forward,” Moulton said on “Meet the Press Daily.”

"We ought to be setting the tone for the country for how women who don’t have famous bosses who are not at big news organizations or in politics or in the movie industry can come forward with these issues as well,” he added.

A Los Angeles radio host last month said Franken kissed and groped her without her consent during a USO tour in 2006. Other women have since come forward to allege Franken touched them inappropriately during photos ops.

Franken has apologized and agreed to cooperate with a Senate Ethics Committee investigation, but has said he has no plans to resign.

“Again, it’s going to take a long time for me to regain people’s trust, but I hope that starting work today that I can start to do that,” Franken said in a recent press conference.

Multiple other women have come forward since alleging inappropriate behavior by Conyers, and Pelosi eventually called for his resignation.

Conyers resigned Tuesday “effective immediately.”
