Breitbart News chief Stephen Bannon said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's (D-N.Y.) suggestion this week that former President Clinton should have resigned amid the Monica Lewinsky scandal of the 1990s amounted to an "earthquake in the Democratic Party," and marked the "opening shot" of the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.
"Kirsten Gillibrand's comment about Bill Clinton I think is an earthquake in the Democratic Party, because the Wall Street-Clinton junta that controls the Democratic Party has really been bulletproof," Bannon told radio host John Catsimatidis in an interview that aired Sunday.
"And I think you saw the first opening shot of the 2020 primary with Gillibrand, who clearly has presidential aspirations. She put a shot right across the bow of the Clintons."
Gillibrand, whose Senate seat was once held by Hillary Clinton, said in an interview with The New York Times on Thursday that Bill Clinton should have stepped down after his inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky, a White House intern at the time, came to light in the 1990s.
The New York Democrat was supportive of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential bid from its earliest days, and has also received the couple's political support in the past.

Gillibrand wants to be the presumptive 2020 nominee for the Democrat party and she can’t have the old crone still hanging around talk shows whining about how she was robbed.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand hopefully will keep up her good work. The deconstruction of the Clinton’s has begun in true Demoncrap style..
Surely a Uranium One Special Prosecutor can’t be far behind?
Senator Gillibrand commits Arkancide in 3...2...1...
Gillibrand’s abandonment of her mentors, the Clintons, is entirely about establishing a basis for attacking Trump.
I couldn’t find this on Drudge, did I miss it or did Drudge ignore it?
Weak comments by Gillibrand, focusing only on Monica and completely ignoring the numerous harassment and rape allegation against Bill from other women.
I don’t see it that way. They are saying that because they know they can’t criticize Moore if they don’t do the same for Clinton. But a cynic would say that it just shows their hypocrisy because they supported Clinton when it mattered and now the are attacking Moore when it matters.
She got her cue from this writer:

Does this mean that the dim-witted Chelsea won’t be getting that seat handed to her?
No it was not an earthquake. It would have been an earthquake if Gillibrand had included criticism of Hillary treatment of Bill’s victims.
Young Miss Gillibrand (D-Swamp) will be back on the reservation Monday - everyone calm down
I don’t think so. She reently went against Schumer on something, too.
Besides, who cares what anyone says about Bill Clinton now? He's been out of office since 2001. It takes no courage to criticize a lame duck who is no longer in power. Had she criticized Hillary for attacking all of Bill's accusers and the media for covering for him, then it might mean something.
