(37,648 posts)Gillibrand proudly branded herself with crucifying someone without an evidence whatsoever. Were there accusations? Somewhat. Were they legitimate? We'll never know. THEY NEVER EVEN ASKED ANYONE ANY QUESTIONS. As Gillibrand said, "Enough is enough." If a male internet accuses her of something, and someone else adds to it, maybe we should have her kicked out of the Senate, saying "enough is enough." And not even bother getting the NAMES of the accusers, much less ask questions.
If they followed the alt-right on this, that tells us everything about her leadership skills. If she were President, would she take order from Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter? Following what she did on Franken accusations, yes she would.
There are other lesser known Senators w/o Presidential aspirations. But she was delighted to be a spearhead, and milked publicity on it. So she owns that.
Here she is declaring Franken a harasser, without having even questioned or gotten the names of the accusers. She lies in stating "I believe the women." No one would believe the main one...it was Republican manipulation. She also lies saying another Senator had due process and an investigation, implying the Senate is fair. ???? But that's exactly what the Senate did not do for Franken. That was the point of the interviewer.
Here she is making the rounds, this time on The View. The Franken part starts at 2:04.
