Facing what could become a bruising primary battle, appointed U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) is embracing one of President Obama’s best known communist appointees, former green jobs czar Van Jones.
The Hill reports Gillibrand will share the stage with Jones at a panel discussion sponsored by the Advocacy Project at the Harvard Club in New York. Jones, a self-described “communist,” was pushed out of the Obama administration five months ago following the embarrassing revelation that he was a 9/11 “truther” who had signed a petition accusing the U.S. government of orchestrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
For a time, Jones had been politically radioactive to Democrats but Gillibrand’s decision to work alongside him appears to bring Jones’s political exile to an end.
Gillibrand, who had a reputation as a moderate Democrat before entering the U.S. Senate, has been steadily tacking to the left since being appointed to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so it’s no surprise that she is cozying up to her party’s radical left-wing.
Gillibrand was one of only seven senators who voted against de-funding the radical leftist group ACORN known for its decades of involvement in election fraud. At the time she defended her vote, telling the New York Post through a spokesperson, “The truth remains that thousands of New York families who are facing foreclosure depend on charitable organizations like ACORN for assistance.”

God! I hope the voters of NY keep this in mind at election time.
Very scary stuff.
Another Democrat/Communist Connection exposed.
Gillibrand would be as easy to knock over this election as a five pin. If only the NY Republicans could come up with a viable, hard-campaigning challenger...
Why are you all surprised? Both Gillibrand and Van Jones are just communists like their boss, failed POTUS Barack Hussein Obama except Obama is also an avowed socialist and facist combined.
Gillibrand was never moderate, it was just a marketing gimmick to fool the voters of her district and unfortunately it appeared to work. But now her true colors are showing.
This is nothing but great news for Republicans.
I’ll be rootin’ for ya!
Her replacement,Scott Murphy,is doing the same,already campaigning on Republican issues.
This is a prime example of a seat that we should take back.
A good campaign commercial would say a vote for Murphy is a vote for Obama/Pelosi/Reid, no matter “moderate” he fakes it.
Thanks for posting.
Is she running for the seat? I’ve heard so many conflicting rumors that I’m not sure. She turned out to be Schumer puppet and nothing she does really surprises me.
Does anyone know how much truth there is to Van Jones being in on the writing of “The Comming Insurection”?
I had a typo in the title. It’s “The Coming Insurection”.
Hear the children
Don’t turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar’s in town, oh oh
He’s got the power
And you’re so weak
And you’re frustration will not let you speak
Don’t turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar’s in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you’ll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
