Granted, I don't know of any Democrats who have called from him to resign. But, Minority Leader Nancy Polosi called for an ethics investigation. Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Rep. Steve Israel, Sen. Harry Reid and most other Democratic legislators who have commented on the situation could hardly be called supportive of Weiner these days.
And given where Ghostwriter lives, he should remember how just a few years ago the (then) Democratic-controlled State House of Representatives expelled a Democratic legislator for ethics violations before making generalizations like "Dems don't eat their own."
It's pretty simple -- Democrats, Republicans and members of any other political party are, as a general rule, going to do what they think is the politically expedient thing to do.
