When it’s her turn, she’ll be screaming for due process

Nothing she says justifies her vicious treatment of Al. For that reason, I will never vote for her.

lady.. no matter how you spin it, you made a huge mistake! I can’t vote for someone who can so easily throw someone under the bus!

SenGillibrand he never had a chance for a fair assessment. We lost a good senator because of her vitriol.

SenGillibrand had different standards for Al Franken than she had for her staff. Phony hypocrite.

that not true , there was no staffer making a complaint the woman from the radio station was a FOX radio station &was in contact with roger stone & this was a setup as stone knew about it and commented on al's time in the barrel is coming !

Pretends there was an investigation.

There was no Al Franken scandal. Senator Franken was set up with a fake story that Republicans exploited. He was never given due process, and as a woman, I am angered by the fact that some women politicians think we have to hang every man who mistakenly trips up.

This vote sure did not get much publicity. 15,000 staffers complained a/b a body that has 435 members? Do the math! Bernie2020

As a Minnesotan, I will never forget or forgive SenGillibrand. She helped take away the voice of Minnesotans. We already have a president who makes erratic decisions based on emotion. We don't need another.

Yes She Blasted Him But I really think MSNBC & CNN Is what got Senator AlFranken Out The Senate The Morning Shows, They Were Going After Him None Stop Each One After The Other, I Watched In Disgust & Horror, Everyday Bash After Bash & They Refused 2 Go After The Republicans

Democrats did not give one of their own the justice he deserved

Oh look there's SenGillibrand acting like she stands a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected to POTUS. Go away SenGillibrand NotGonnaHappen delusionalGillibrand

Credible allegations (Jezebel is not a credible source, btw) are not enough to condemn anybody. Her assertion that allegation is the only evidence needed to condemn a person is dangerous Salem Massachusetts witch hunt law.

No support sistah, because DUE PROCESS. You screwed Al alfranken for no good reason. (Oh and she looks like that difficult woman from 'The Office' Amy Ryan. Can't get that outta my head.)

Why don't we address her role in not caring about facts and going on the attack against alfranken just for her own career. I won't vote for her come hell or high water so if my vote is the one vote y'all better be sure she is not the candidate.

She sounds self-pitying. Nice try.

There's a lot that concerns me about this candidate, but when I boil it down, it comes to this: Her membership in the cult of the professionally offended is enough to hand the Presidency back to Trump. pass

Political opportunist.... Choice indeed, NO to Gillibrand.

BOTS all on this thread

I'm not sure that loud, self-righteous indignation worked for her.

She has no credibility on this topic, she gave Sen Franken no due process. How can I believe she will uphold the rest of the constitution.

I cannot support her because of that

Sorry, not listening to her on this topic.

She will never admit the scheme against Franken was orchestrated by Roger Stone. That Tweeden’s lies about Al writing the script were debunked. Witnesses said she was awake. If this is the way she’s stsnding up for women, count me out.

She is a plant for Trump

You mean the railroading by his own party? Gillibrand didn’t mind posing with this dirtbag and he was accused of far far worse.

She needs to go. As does Gabbard. There are some really dynamic candidates. These two, do not cut it.

Perhaps Naive? Demand invest’n&made clear you fight sex. Assaulters is sufficient but relentlessly took one of our own down while not as fierce w/sex.assaulter now in WH is strategically poor. Other than that, like her MI townhall. SenGillibrand DNC HouseDemocrats SenateDems

Snow ball in hell’s chance, bring back Al

I live in MN & can tell you we lost a really good senator. I laughed when I first saw him on the ballot but voted for him anyways. We do shit like that sometimes.He turned out to be gold. I’m thinking of sending candies to him. Which way is the least creepy but most affectionate?

When the hell is Gillibrand up for reelection?! Because I hope that Al Franken seriously considers moving to New York to primary her ass!

There is nothing Kirsten could say to make me trust her after what she did to AL FRANKEN and the American People. She is a traitor, and a turncoat.

She's a heinous woman.

Here is what I know... we lost an effective DEMOCRATIC senator..

Nope Never Nunca Nada 🙅🏾‍♀️

Big fat hard pass on Gillibrand.

Al Franken

I don’t know if the allegations of Al Franken is true. He said that all of them r not. If they are not i’d wished he had fought. Nobody is perfect n politics and with Franken gone & Trump still n. It feels u threw the baby out with the bath water 4 politics

I hope she drops out after this. She is shameful and not one person I know respects her or think she is even worthy to run. She needs to just go away.

Gillibrand, we cannot sustain mass illegals in our country. How about legal immigration. People who entered our country we should know and it is a security risk. In you neighborhood how many poor illegals live Gillibrand?

How many times did Sen. Gillibrand say UMMM during her town hall?

😂😂😂😂 hypocrite

When she answers a “questions,” the “questions” usually remains unanswered.

Hard pass

We say “B.S.!”I really believe her 10 year old asked her why she was so tough on Al Franken. I bet other than Al Franken’s 10 year old, no 10 year old ever heard of him. Get off your self-righteous high horse, Kirsten. You called for him to resign, not to let the process play out

Bildabrand does not support due process. Such self aggrandizing impulses don't belong in the White House. We already have to deal with one of those people, we don't need another.

Know what Gillibrand COULD have done correctly that still fit her brand? Been the most vocal person demanding a full investigation so that the women got a full opportunity to tell their story (since she’s more about the women finding justice). She showed poor judgement.

Al was a comedian. Oh wait. Those guys should be taken seriously sometimes ? I didn’t know he was anything more than a joke man.

Nice try tonight defending your malicious actions against AlFranklin. The fact is that you and your posse we’re so eager to chase him out that he did the gentlemanly thing for the Party and resigned. You won’t get my vote.

Franken got railroaded.

None start for me!

Crickets... crickets

I wish there was a way to selectively mute everything you post about her.

She made an unforgivable mistake.

I would never vote for her because of what she did to Franken. The fact that her 10-yr old said she was being to hard on him should have told her something plus she had an A+ w/ the NRA and she wanted to go after sanctuary cities. SenGillibrand it's a no from me. MSNBC

He should have never resigned..... She knew that too. But she wanted her name out there. She doesn't have my vote!

She jumped right up and put tremendous pressure on Sen Franken to resign after he asked for an ethics review. He may have been guilty; but it was not HER call. Been disgusted with her since then. And he should have fought back

What comes around,goes around. Karma is a bitch. She is politically done. The fact that we still talking about Franken at this point prove how powerful he was. Gillibrand didn't anticipate the blow back from this. She will always have to answer for it. Thats her cross.

It’s not rocket science. She wanted to run for President, saw an opportunity to score easy points for non-partisan zero tolerance in a popular (and very real, when properly applied) issue, and as a consequence the country lost a great senator to phony accusations.

Pass.

The democrats are just one big mess!

This was such a well done interview in my opinion. I was among those upset with her re: Franken. She is correct, however, he chose to quit, he could have stayed. I still want him back. She impressed me.

I have no use for her. I am a life-long Dem and will not vote for her.

She made it worse imo

Why a women gets in trouble for another man’s actions is beyond me. Franken didn’t have to resign. Ultimately he made his own decision.

She threw alfranken under the bus without a second thought. She’ll do the same to you.
