Houston mayor Annise Parker (D) did not call for San Diego mayor Bob Filner’s resignation, but she did tweet her opinions on the situation. Filner is accused of sexual harassment and blamed the city of San Diego because they did not provide him with mandated sexual harassment training.
San Diego Mayor asks city to defend him cause it didn’t tell him sexual harassment illegal? Almost as disgusted by that as by harassment.-A

Many Democrats are telling Filner to resign or weighing in on the scandal. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D) said she was offended by his actions and asked him to resign. His allies are starting to turn against him too. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, Assembly Majority Leader Toni Atkins, City Council President Todd Gloria and Councilman David Alvarez demanded Filner’s resignation.
On July 12, his top aide Chief of Staff Vince Hall resigned.
