Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Sunday she believes Congress should hold President Trump accountable for the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him. “I think he should resign, and if he’s unwilling to do that, which is what I assume, then Congress should hold him accountable. We’re obligated to have hearings,” Gillibrand said in an interview with CBS's “60 Minutes.” Gillibrand, who was among the first to call for former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to resign due to sexual misconduct allegations, was also one of several Democratic senators who late last year said Trump should resign due to sexual...

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand will try to bait President Trump on Tuesday by bringing one of the commander-in-chief’s loudest critics to his State of the Union address — San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. “It is an honor to announce that Mayor @CarmenYulinCruz of San Juan, Puerto Rico will join me at the #SOTU. Throughout the crisis in Puerto Rico, Mayor Cruz has shown extraordinary leadership and fearless advocacy for her city,” Gillibrand tweeted Monday. “I hope Mayor Cruz’s presence at #SOTU will remind the president and my colleagues in Congress of our urgent responsibility to help Puerto Rico...

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York is one of the most talked-about potential Democratic candidates for the White House in 2020. But she has also turned into a thorn in the side of the Department of Justice as she holds up one of DOJ's highest-profile postings. The junior senator from New York plans to use her “blue-slip prerogative” to block the confirmation of Geoffrey S. Berman, if he is nominated by President Trump to be the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, Gillibrand spokesman Glen Caplin told Fox News. Berman, 58, a former prosecutor in the...

A prominent donor to the Democratic Party says she is considering withdrawing support for senators who urged their colleague Al Franken to resign after he was accused of sexual misconduct. The donor, Susie Tompkins Buell, has been one of the Democratic Party’s most generous supporters for decades. In particular, she has been a champion of female politicians, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Maria Cantwell of Washington. Last month, those senators were among the dozens who called for Franken to resign from the Senate after at least six women accused him of sexual harassment...

During the relatively dead news cycle between Christmas and New Years, most media outlets choose to burn up some space with retrospectives on the year that’s ending. Politico is no exception, and one of their features this week was dedicated to people who had found themselves engaged in Twitter feuds with the President, with an eye toward how well they had “survived” the encounter. They chose to highlight Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, Kathy Griffin, Alan Dershowitz, John Podesta and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Rather than a series of survivor stories, most of these (with one notable exception) seem...

Democrats are trying to take out their own in the race for Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District…all because he’s not progressive enough by the party’s standards. According to a report in Politico, Lipinski is up for one of the toughest political fights of his life against the much more leftist candidate Marie Newman, a former marketing consultant and businesswoman, who’s nabbed endorsements from Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Gloria Steinem, Democracy for America, MoveOn.org, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, and Progressive Campaign Committee. “Dan Lipinski has a real, formidable challenger like he’s never had before. The environment is different. ... The energy is...

Yeah, good luck with that. The perpetual outrage machine that is the left's pathological loathing for President Trump keeps reaching new lows in absurdity, albeit only on an hourly basis. Plenty of liberals have labeled Trump's tweet slamming Democrat Senator and potential 2020 opponent Kirsten Gillibrand as "sexual harassment." But liberal radio host Thom Hartmann went beyond that and described it -- I'm not making this up -- as grounds for impeachment.Here's Hartmann suggesting this during a conversation with a caller to his show on Tuesday -- Your browser does not support the audio element. HARTMANN: Merlin in Madison, Wisc....

President Trump’s son has joined in his father’s criticism of New York Senator. Kirsten Gillibrand, saying that she previously asked for campaign money “every three days.” Eric Trump defended his father on tax reform and the Roy Moore election loss Wednesday, and told WABC’s Rita Cosby that the Democrat had been clamoring for meetings at the Trump Organization.. “I remember Kirsten Gillibrand when she came into this office every three days asking for money, asking for major campaign contributions,” he said. “There is no one who wanted to get into his office more than Kirsten Gillibrand.”

The drama between Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and President Donald Trump has reached absurd heights. First, there was that rather tweet from the president, which was not out of the ordinary. He accused Gillibrand of doing “anything” for campaign contributions. Gillibrand said this was a sexist smear, despite the president using that line on pretty much everyone. This all is part of the ongoing sexual harassment reckoning on the Hill and elsewhere. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) is gone, and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has signaled his intention to leave…whenever that may be. Gillibrand has called on Trump to resign, as...

Kirsten Gillibrand received over 20,000 thousand dollars from Palo Alto High School. Why is a California high school giving $20,400 to a Junior New York Senator? This really makes no sense. Why is a public school giving taxpayer money to ANY campaign? Is the high school name BS and meant to hide the real donor? Is this a money laundering scheme? Palo Alto High School is in one of the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. It is a pipeline to the University of California system, Stanford, and Ivy League schools. What’s more even the teachers are extraordinarily well-connected. For instance,...

USA Today and all other news outlets who aid and abet political opportunists, such as the Hillary Clinton-like Kirsten Gillibrand, should be judged for what they are: unprofessionally at work in the toilet known as today’s “journalism”. The ‘News’ is in the toilet and so are the minds of most elected Democrats. So why should anyone be surprised that the USA Today’s editorial board has issued a statement concluding that: “A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a # is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes...

Mika Brzezinski’s broadside against President Trump seemed scripted. Even so, on today’s Morning Joe, Mika got emotional as she lashed out at the President for tweeting that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand “would do anything” for a campaign contribution. As she and her Morning Joe cohorts are inclined to do, Mika engaged in some armchair psychoanalysis. Calling him a “sexist pig,” and asserting that he “is obsessed with women” who criticize him, Mika said that Trump “has some special problem with women.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

RUSH: Jackie Speier, Democrat, California, had a press conference today along with Lois Frankel to demand a congressional investigation into Trump. During the Q&A, Jackie Speier talked about the reasons behind the call for an investigation. SPEIER: As you’re all aware, House Rule Ten gives the Congress of the United States, and particularly the House of Representatives, the authority to investigate anything at any time. And it is under that House rule that we are calling on the Government Oversight Committee to do the investigation. But what took place this morning when the president tweeted about our colleague, Senator Kirsten...

Early on Tuesday, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet that many say had sexual implications about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Trump called Gillibrand a "flunky" who would do "anything" for campaign contributions. Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump.

Sen. Warren, D-Mass., quickly jumped into the fight, replying to the president with a tweet of her own. "Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame [Sen. Gillibrand]? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, [Donald Trump]," the senator wrote, adding, "Nevertheless, #shepersisted." Warren's ability to inject both "slut-shaming" and her personal branding into a statement of support for a beleaguered presidential rival is almost impressive for its transparent opportunism. Believe it or not, the Oxford English Dictionary actually has a definition for "slut-shaming," which it says is to "[s]tigmatize (a woman) for...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid raised eyebrows at a New York City fundraiser hosted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg Monday morning when he referred to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand as the "hottest member," according to CNN. Gillibrand, who was seated only a few feet away from Reid at Bloomberg's New York townhouse, flushed with embarrassment at the comment, CNN reports. According to a Politico source, Reid delivered remarks praising New York's senior senator, Chuck Schumer, before turning to Gillibrand and adding that, "many senators are known for many things," and that "we in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest...

Senator Gillibrand, a local hack with the right family ties appointed to fill Hillary Clinton's seat, who has no conceivable qualifications for the job, has done nothing to justify her time in the Senate and would never have been able to keep her seat if New York elections weren't becoming as hopelessly one state as California, is calling on President Trump to resign. If Gillibrand wants to get the resignation train going, she can start with herself.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, accused President Donald Trump of slut-shaming Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand when he attacked the New York Democrat in a tweet on Tuesday morning. A day after Gillibrand, widely considered a potential 2020 presidential candidate, called for Trump's resignation, the president claimed the senator used to "do anything" for campaign donations from him. Trump concluded his verbal lashing by calling Gillibrand "used" and "very disloyal" to the Clintons, apparently referring to Gillibrand's recent statement that former President Bill Clinton should have left office following his affair with Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s. "Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand,...

President Donald Trump responded to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s call for his resignation, calling her a “lightweight” and a “total flunky” for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” Trump wrote. “Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!” Sen. Gillibrand called for Trump’s resignation after three women again detailed sexual harassment accusations that they voiced during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump denounced their accusations...
