She didn't speak to even one accuser. If you don't speak and listen to the women, you can't claim they are credible. Yet Gillibrand did exactly that. Whoops!

She could've led the charge in exposing Roger Stone as a rat 🐀effer. Given the ongoing Russian interference in our Democracy, would an investigation have shown that the GOPEE was conspiring with the Russians to oust an outstanding senator? Minnesotans were robbed of finding out.

She could've saved her colleague, leveraging Her credibilty on matters of sexual assault.She could have educated people about the differences between assault and harassment. How and why the punishment for these offenses should be proportional to the offence.

Plus there is the fact Franken was/is innocent. She should give her remaining funds to the DFL in Minnesota or to Tina Smith.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Interesting that you appear to criticize Sen Gillibrand for Franken stepping down yet rpannier Aug 2019 #14

Gillibrand was the ring leader. She did it for her own political aspirations, imo. MoonRiver Aug 2019 #23
