Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has introduced bills to combat sexual assault on college campuses and in the military. An important emphasis of her legislation has been to encourage the victims of these crimes to come forward and report them.
But when it comes to sexual harassment in her own life, the New York senator sings a different tune.
Gillibrand disclosed in her new book, Off the Sidelines, that she has often been sexually harassed in the U.S. Senate. She said that one male colleague called her “porky,” and another told her not to lose weight because he likes “my girls chubby.” He told her this while squeezing her waist from behind.
The New York Democrat did not name the offenders in her book, and she still refuses to name them when asked. On Tuesday morning, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski asked Gillibrand on "Morning Joe" why she wouldn’t “name names.”
“The reason why I used these examples is to illustrate the broader point,” Gillibrand said. “I want to elevate the debate about all the challenges – it’s not about a specific insult of one person. It’s about what’s been said to you, what’s been said to you?”

One thing we can be sure of, it wasn't a Republican. If it was, she would have no problem naming him.
Agree that she made it up.
Another example of the Left having to fabricate offenses since we on the Right won’t behave in accordance with the stereotypes created about us.
Any girl over the age of 15 is too old for him.
This is a standard white liberal thing. Make up something that fits the world view and hope nobody calls her on it.
Logical conclusion: She’s talking out her backside.
Someone called her “porky” and she thinks that is harassment?
What's the fuss about guys being jerks when it comes to trying to impress women? Been that way since Adam and Eve.
Propaganda article based on the false assumption that “Porky” was actually harassed. Meme established to bolster credibility of character assassination attacks on conservative candidates immediately prior to elections.
Name That Party!
She’s not naming them because they’re Rats.Very probably *prominent* Rats.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
The jokes write themselves.
I am sorry but; I do not call this sexual harassment. If she is fat-she is fat. People will always comment about weight. Yes, it would be best if they did not.
A Lib Dem lying and irresponsibly using the “sexist” charge instead of arguing facts- I’m losing count.
“She name names?”
