During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of PBS’ “Firing Line,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) argued that President Joe Biden can still say he’s a bipartisan leader, but this requires redefining what bipartisanship means.
Gillibrand said that Biden will still have credibility as a bipartisan leader even if both the coronavirus relief and infrastructure packages pass through reconciliation without Republican votes because “I think from a voters’ perspective, they see solving the COVID crisis, getting the economy up and running, the most bipartisan agenda you could have.”
Host Margaret Hoover then asked, “Is that a little bit redefining what bipartisanship means, though?”

Did you ‘redefine’ “pretty” when you wrote that assertion?
I think he meant “not Medusa”, more properly phrased “prettier than Hillary,” as in “more pure than Ted Kennedy (or Bill Clinton),” “smarter than Joe Biden.”
If one not only lowers a bar, but digs a ditch and partially buries it, one can produce a “standard” that all but the lowest of the low can exceed, and congratulate themselves as being excellent.
As I understand it, GIbbon was an expert at this sort of sarcastic use of historical fact that looks like a lie from most angles, but is arguably a mode of expression when writing a sort of poetry—Belloc has a good short essay on his use of footnotes, I believe with footnotes in the title. He loved him as a writer of prose (an exceedingly high compliment given the source) but detested him as a historian (an almost as damning condemnation, given the source)—and claims to have read him daily. Sort of like Jerome and Origen.
“Gillibrand: If You Redefine What ‘Death’ Means, Dead Democrat Voters Can Vote Forever”
I thought that the current definition of bipartisan was it’s all give and take. We’re expected to give up everything and their side takes it all.
gillibrand is who Orwell warned us about in his books.
What an absolutely stupid statement.
I would be very afraid if they believed what they actually say.
They claim bipartisanship without support of Republicans in Congress. They lay claim to support from Republicans the likes of Nicole Wallace, Joe Scarborough and Lincoln Project Rejects.
Perhaps the most idiotic statement I have ever read. If you “redefine” any word it has a different meaning than it held previously. Demolishcrats are the masters of redefining the language.
I always thought she was very attractive . . . but she's still a moron
If you ‘re define’ astrophysics genius then my dog is a world-class Nobel prize winner

IF you redefine what female is, Biden is a MOTHER.
How did I know this is Breitbart. All day long, they podst noxious quotes from our enemies. They are becoming Pravda.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (Dbag-NY)
If you redefine “red,” it can mean “green.” “Up” can become “down.”
Gilly is a wet dirty sock at best
Time to redefine what “redefine” means.
Well doesn’t take much detective work to figure out what she was up to and she’s never denied it
Gillibrand misspoke. She meant to say that Biden “was a bisexual leader”. It’s that New York accent that slurs words. /sarc
It means a humongous leap of faith whatever it is called......
