In reply to the discussion: I'm not happy that Gillibrand was an aye. [View all]hlthe2b
(113,975 posts)36. When you rudely demand from others that they do your research RIGHT NOW, what the hell do you expect?
Given it has been over a decade and DU archives only go back a year or so, you know the amount of archival research required to address your demands. A lot was written by responsible journalists on the issue-- but CNN is/has been all too happy to blame it all (credit?) Harris who was only one of the subsequent mob.
Given I don't give a damn what you believe or not--especially given how you addressed me earlier, then I will leave it at that, end my all-too-short break-- and go see patients. Have a good day and continue to be deceived if that makes you happy.

No. Not true, despite CNN's claim. It was debunked several years ago. Believe what you want

As expected. JohnSJ provided you proof and you refused to read it--which is very very telling

I said the 1st to go on national television. Gillibrand did a FB post, then within minutes multiple other Dems followed
