Ex-Clinton aide criticizes Gillibrand after Franken's resignation

13. That he went on not just Fox News, but onto Fucker Carlson's show is problematic...

...But that aside, Gillibrand really needs to sit down and shut up forever.

"Bill Clinton did very important things for this country. But my point is about this conversation we are having today, and that we need to have the highest standards for elected leaders, and we have to change what's happening throughout society, and we have to allow people to tell their stories."

Ok.

Are you fucking kidding me? First, Clinton "did very important things" but Franken is not doing the same? Is that your argument? Is that the bullshit argument you're going to trot out? Are? You? Fucking? Kidding? Me? And highest standards? I'm sorry, but do you envision YOURSELF as meeting that bar, senator? One of those standards is intelligence. That is a bar you have demonstrated that you do not meet. Conservative operatives conducted a ratfucking operation against Franken and you took the bait. Enthusiastically. And then there's the matter of letting people tell their stories. Really? Like how Franken pretty much kept his mouth shut, was careful not to attack or blame his accusers, and even requested an investigation into the matter? Clearly he was silencing all of these people with his "Letting them speak" tactic. Subversive AND brilliant!

Senator Gillibrand, you had your turn to speak. To paraphrase an ancient idiom, it would have better if you had remained silent and have people wonder if you were a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
