Oh My, Gillibrand: If Trump wants due process, we'll have hearings on allegations against him

[kpete]

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) went after President Trump on Saturday for his tweet questioning a lack of "due process" in abuse claims, saying that Congress could hold hearings about sexual misconduct allegations against him if he wanted due process.

“The President has shown through words and actions that he doesn’t value women. It’s not surprising that he doesn’t believe survivors or understand the national conversation that is happening,” Gillibrand tweeted.


“If he wants due process for the over dozen sexual assault allegations against him, let’s have Congressional hearings tomorrow,” she continued. “I would support that and my colleagues should too.”

4. Do you really think Trump would do the right thing and resign?

I think this is smart.

5. You're entitled to think that. n/t

6. It's smart to reward those who won't do the right thing?

They're the only ones entitled to due process?

I don't think so. I Gillibrand just showed what her move against Franken was really about.

8. Al Franken is an innocent man.

He didn't do anything wrong.
Due process and an investigation might have uncovered things about the accusers, like, hey, she got Rubles put into an offshore Cyprus bank account. Oh, hey, that other one got a condo in her name off a tacky golf course in Florida.

Due process might have shone some light on Russian meddling in our democracy.
Instead my vote for Al got stolen.
I'm still mad as hell. The stupidity of whole thing by people who should be smarter than that.

9. Hearings?

What a novel idea. She should've thought of that a while back.

[Timewas]

10. Good idea

Maybe we can back up with that and do the right thing for Franken... she is all for herself and no one else and she cares little about "Due Process"

11. Talk about tone-deaf ...

Hasn't Kirsten figured out yet that she has zero credibility on this topic?

12. At a minimum, very poor timing

Unbelievable
