Her rush to get then Sen. Al Franken to quit against allegations of sexual misconduct that Republicans in worst situations brushed aside?…
Her solo vote against James Mattis for Trump Sec. of State?
Kirsten Gillibrand a formet Upstate New York Blue Dog Democrat isn’t gonna get the Democratic Presidential nomination….
Nope…
She has been knocked now by Pete Buttigieg, who is saying out loud what a lot fo people feel….
She consistently makes BAD political judgement calls….
Her latest is on immigration….
Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand on Monday defended her call for former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to resign, saying that credible allegations of sexual misconduct are “not too high a standard.”
The statement from the New York senator came shortly after South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg voiced concerns about the pressure Franken faced to resign before Congress learned more about the accusations against him.
“Eight credible allegations of sexual harassment, two since he was elected senator, and one from a congressional staffer,” Gillibrand said in a statement shared on Twitter. “That is not too high a standard, regardless of how the Republican Party handles this behavior, and worse. Yes, it was Senator Franken’s decision alone to leave the Senate — a path he ultimately chose — but for many senators, including myself and others in this primary field, that was not too high a of a bar to raise our voices and make clear we value women.”…
She keeps making dumb political mistake these days…
The floundering Gillibrand has done more to hurt her chances than any other candidate before the debates even kick off. Her bizarre eagerness to prove that she can change her mind on any position is the single identifying trait of a muddled, incoherent campaign up to this point. Gillibrand was at it again in an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation that aired the other day. The one-time defender of tough immigration laws startled even her friendly CBS interlocutor Margaret Brennan with the breadth of her open borders rhetoric. When asked how she would deal with illegal aliens detained at the border, Gillibrand instantly fled from the word “detained.”
“As president of the United States … I would not lock up these families, I would have a humane immigration policy where people … would have lawyers and have a proper asylum process,” Gillibrand said.
“I wouldn’t keep them in detention at all,” she repeated to a startled Brennan. “I – I wouldn’t – as president of the United States, I wouldn’t use the detention system at all …. If someone is seeking asylum, I would assign them a lawyer.”
Note…
Gillibrand’s poll numbers are in the low single digits and she probably will NOT make the second Democratic debate cutoff…
