Gillibrand isn't raising a lot of money, and her campaign claims that's because of how brave she is

The only person in the United States with worse political instincts than Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.

First, the self-professed defender of women’s rights waited until seven women had accused former Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., of groping and unwanted kissing before calling for his resignation in 2017. Seven accusers. Members of Congress are apparently allowed exactly six alleged acts of sexual misconduct before it is considered unacceptable behavior.

Now, Gillibrand and her campaign are blaming her paltry haul of $3 million in the first quarter on the role she played in ousting Franken from the Senate. Her campaign alleges in a memo obtained by the New York Times that Democratic donors are “punishing” the New York senator for “standing up for her values and for women.”

Because if there is one thing that will turn around abysmal polling and fundraising numbers during a primary, it is a direct attack on primary voters.
