Kirsten Gillibrand has no regrets
“There was 34 other senators that called on him to resign,” Gillibrand said on Monday night,. “You wouldn’t know that today, given I seem to stand alone. But I could not stay silent. I could not defend his actions.”
Gillibrand’s message for those senators who now have buyer’s remorse? Don’t be cowards! “Now I could have told those seven senators, and any of the senators—the 35 senators who came out against him—that there is no prize for someone who tries to hold accountable a powerful man who is good at his day job,” she said. “But we should have the courage to do it anyway. So no, I do not have any regrets.
