House Democrats today called for the resignation of a lawmaker, who they say is accused of firing a staff member in retaliation for interactions with expelled lawmaker Jeremy Durham, the Tennessean reports. House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Stewart and Rep. Bo Mitchell, both D-Nashville, said they believe the actions of Rep. Jane Doe #33, as she is referred to in the attorney general report on Durham, show she fired her staff member as a direct correlation to that staff member being sexually harassed by Durham. Stewart said she needs to confirm or deny the allegations.
