New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand appears to be giving Gov. Andrew Cuomo a long leash on the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him by a former aide — despite once leading the charge that led to then-Sen. Al Franken’s resignation over similar claims. “I have not read her allegations or her post, her Medium post,” Gillibrand told reporters on a call Thursday afternoon — a day after Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan came forward igniting widespread media coverage. “But as I said, everyone has a right to be able to come forward, speak their truth, and be heard. And that’s true...

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump giving his speech accepting the Republican Party presidential nomination from the White House, despite some suggesting it could a violation of the Hatch Act. -snip “I think it’s an outrage,” Gillibrand lamented. “President Trump continues to demean his office.

It’s time for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s sputtering presidential campaign to call it quits, a friend of hers and two former aides told The Post. “It would be best if she decided that this was not her time,” said one longtime Gillibrand fundraiser, who claimed the Democratic contender’s well-heeled supporters want her to remain in the US Senate. “Most people that I talk to are very happy with her as their senator and don’t want her to give up her Senate seat and don’t see any realistic traction for her.”

First Let me clarify that when Kirsten Gillibrand says she wants to ban Assault Weapons she means AR-15’s. Unfortunately, a lot of politicians like Gillibrand think the AR in AR15 stands for Assault Rifle, which it doesn’t it stands for Arma Lite Rifle, but she doesn’t care because her job right now is to prove to the world how anti-gun she is. Because she’s like a dying fish on land, flipping and flopped all of the place struggling to get some air for her failing campaign. Keep America Tactical
