This is how the left treats women. This comment of hers is particularly despicable in light of her comments about Brett Kavanaugh:
"The women in our state are not meant to be judges, jurors and executioners," the senator added.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., appears to have departed from her previous stances on sexual misconduct allegations with her current stance on the accusations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The Empire State senator responded to the sexual misconduct allegations by six women levied against Cuomo in a Monday interview with Yahoo! Finance, saying that "asking every female" elected official in New York when someone "should resign" from their post "really isn’t the conversation we should be having."
She went on to say that it was "exceedingly frustrating" that her male colleagues "aren’t asked these questions day to day."
"The women in our state are not meant to be judges, jurors and executioners," the senator added.
Gillibrand has yet to call for Cuomo's resignation as the embattled governor also faces the fallout from the nursing home scandal ransacking his administration, instead calling for an independent investigation.
The senator’s response to Cuomo’s allegations appears to differ from her previous stances on sexual harassment allegations against public officials.
When former Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., was accused of sexual harassment in late 2017, Gillibrand was the first senator to call for her then-colleague’s resignation. Gillibrand defended her comments two years later saying she couldn’t "remain silent."
Franken — a former "Saturday Night Live" star — resigned from his Senate seat in January 2018 after accusations of sexual misconduct.
Gillibrand also made waves in her own party when she called out former President Bill Clinton for not resigning amid the Monika Lewinsky affair, sparking rebukes from Clinton allies, with one calling her a "hypocrite."
"The women in our state are not meant to be judges, jurors and executioners," the senator added.
