She's literally accused of something that most male politicians would have already been shamed(rightfully so) into resigning for.
It's egregiously hypocritical and spits in the face of male sexual abuse victims
And I have my doubts this is the only victim BTW. Men are even less likely to come forward about things like this

Did Keith Ellison resign after being accused?

Katie Hill was eviscerated for her allegations and was forced to resign, so it's possible that the allegations are not substantiated.

She sexually assaulted a staffer.  It’s pretty disgraceful that she wasn’t impeached.

Yeah but her campaign reached a settlement with the accuser, which doesn't exactly bode well for her innocence. She also broke her own Covid restrictions at the height of the pandemic. I remember that being a knock against her when she was considered a possible Biden VP pick.

She should probably resign.

Most politicians cover the sex act up that have to resign CLINTON, Cuomo, Craig, Vitter and Ensign and Gingrich I am not sure about the case but this was not a lying case, so that's why Gov doesn't have to resign

Just like Trump is doing he is covering up for his insurrection as well as he did for Covid and Rs are using DeSantis to avoid fault of the insurrection that has poisoned the well for both DeSantis and TRUMP

Wasn't that like 2-3 years ago? Or did she do so again?

MLG also reached a $150K settlement with her accuser.

Is reaching a settlement an admission of guilt? It's possible that she just figured it wouldn't be worth the negative press of going to trial, even if she didn't do it.

That said, I do believe the accusations - I'm just providing a possible explanation for why she hasn't been pushed to resign.

Quote
In 2019, a former campaign staffer and spokesperson, James Hallinan, accused Lujan Grisham of sexual battery. According to Hallinan, the incident took place during a staff meeting in 2018. By his account, Lujan Grisham poured a bottle of water on his crotch and then slapped and grabbed his crotch through his pants while laughing. He said the incident happened "in front of everybody".[60]

Unlike the Keith Ellison allegations, the Michelle Grisham allegations are substantiated.

Keith Ellison was accused of domestic violence from what I understand, not sexual assault

IIRC, that wasn't even a one-sided affair. Very deep into he-said, she-said ala Depp/Heard.

That sounds to me more like bullying and humiliation than sexual assault.
Pretty awful though nonetheless.
