35. If she apologizes to the Clintons and returns all the money

Thu Dec 7, 2017, 04:48 AM

Dec 2017

she took from Democrats throughout the state.

Care to provide any evidence for your assertion?

The number of fellow New Yorkers up and down state that are talking about running against both Schumer and Gillibrand in the primary increased today. NYT just published a story about Sen. Gillibrand:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/06/nyregion/gillibrand-franken-sexual-misconduct.htmlPhilippe Reines, a past adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a fierce loyalist, still excoriated Ms. Gillibrand on Twitter. “Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons’ endorsements, money, and seat. Hypocrite,” he wrote. “Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck.”

When the initial allegation of groping and kissing without consent emerged against Mr. Franken, Ms. Gillibrand was among the first to announce that she was returning Mr. Franken’s past donations to her campaign, redirecting them to a group that is focused on sexual assault in the military.]

She needs to get real.
