Washington (CNN) Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah said on Thursday that her colleague GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas should resign in light of allegations he sexually harassed members of his staff. "I think that he should voluntarily resign," Love said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" with anchor Kate Bolduan. A report in Politico last week identified Farenthold as having used a taxpayer fund to pay a sexual harassment settlement to his former communications director. Love said she thought that because of the pervasive culture of sexual harassment, Farenthold may not have even realized his alleged behavior was wrong. Love said Franks' resignation is "disheartening," and that while there is a need for due process, the culture around sexual harassment must change.
