“#Kirsten Gillibrand, the incredible shrinking women’s champion<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand actually told a Yahoo Finance reporter that talk of Gov. Cuomo\u2019s resignation amid accusations of inapp<\/a>ropriate conduct from six women \u201cisn\u2019t the conversation we should be having.<\/a>\u201d Even asking female elected officials their opinion of the controversy unfairly puts \u201cthe spotlight on the women of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

What a hypocrite. <\/p>\n

Cuomo faces calls to quit from multiple high-profile Dems, including state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and city Comptroller Scott Stringer. Yet Gillibrand tries to make turning a blind eye into some feminist statement, i.e.: \u201cThe women in our state are not meant to be judges, jurors and executioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite the change of tune. \u201cI believe it would be better for our country if he sent a clear message that any kind of mistreatment of women in our society isn\u2019t acceptable by stepping aside to let someone else serve,\u201d she said in 2017 as she began the drive to get Sen. Al Franken to resign. <\/p>\n

She demanded President Donald Trump step down that same year, citing \u201cnumerous\u201d and \u201ccredible\u201d accusers. And she declared that President Bill Clinton should have resigned when his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky came to light. In 2018, she sought to derail Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s Supreme Court nomination because \u201cone credible sexual assault claim should have been too many. . . . Two is an embarrassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In short, she was happy to cast stones when it was Republicans or, as in Franken\u2019s case, when she saw a chance to elevate her status.<\/p>\n

And she certainly didn\u2019t worry about due process: In Kavanaugh\u2019s case, notably, there was only\u00a0one disputed and utterly unsupported claim concerning events decades before, in high school.<\/p>\n

Yet now suddenly Gillibrand wants no rush to judgment. That\u2019s how it should always be, but it\u2019s remarkable that she\u2019s finally discovered that principle when the subject is a governor allied to her family of political fixers. (In this, she\u2019s no different from\u00a0some of Cuomo\u2019s most vociferous defenders, such as top aide Melissa DeRosa and chief of staff Jill DesRosiers, with their own close ties to lobbyists.)<\/p>\n

Bottom line: All Gillibrand\u2019s crusading stands exposed as a sham.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
