Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand drops f-bomb on video
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is giving more details, and dropping f-bombs, about her experience with sexist comments she’s received about her weight, saying she couldn’t tell a male colleague “to go f—- himself.”
“At that moment, if I could have just disappeared, I would have. If I could have just melted in tears, I would have. But I had to just sit there and talk to him. And I switched the subject and I didn’t hear another word he said, but I wasn’t in a place where I could tell him to go f—- himself,” Gillibrand told HuffPost Live in an interview posted Monday.
In her new book released last week, “Off the Sidelines,” the New York Democrat described a slew of remarks her male colleagues and fellow lawmakers made regarding her weight.
“Good thing you’re working out, because you wouldn’t want to get porky!” said one lawmaker to Gillibrand.
