Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand claimed Sunday that despite previously advocating for the same immigration policies as President Donald Trump, his positions are “racist†but hers were not.
“[My immigration positions] certainly weren’t empathetic and they were not kind and I did not think about suffering in other people’s lives,†Gillibrand told Jake Tapper when he confronted her with her conservative immigration platform while serving as the congresswoman for New York’s 20th Congressional District.
