Neoliberal pearl clutching freakout? I’m shocked!
She’s a bought and paid for AIPAC hack and she’ll read anything they put in front of her, no matter how bigoted and disgusting.
Because she knows that her status quo is on the chopping block. Vote this fossil out!
She and Schumer are completely bought by wallstreet and hiding their class war allegiances with bigotry. They would much rather talk about Mamdani in terms of Israel bullshit than the fact he’s a socialist and pushes economic populism for the working people. Policies people actually like.
They know if they talk about him in terms of policy he will only get more popular as will his ideas.
It’s crazy because Mamdani himself never even used “globalize the intifada” he just said it was a phrase used by Palestinians to indicate a desire for independence.
But vOtE BlUe nO mAtTer wHo, right??!???
She’s so gross.
I hope all Democrats like her are squirming right now at the fact that Mamdani won the D primary without large institutional backing and that they should be concerned for their “safe” jobs as they can and should be primaried.
It’s so empowering to see white women helping to normalize violence and fear against brown bodies.
You go, girl!
Where’s Dorothy’s house when you need it?
Wouldn’t it be great if the Dems put this much effort into fighting the Republicans?
But has she specifically denounced the phrase “fiddle the kiddies”? If she hasn’t denounced it she’s clearly a kiddy fiddler.
Sigh. I am so sick of shitty NY career politicians. Any decent primary opposition to either of these senators is a yes from me.
Gillibrand is another worthless dinosaur. She needs to go
Hey New York, just found out the next Senator to primary.
She got old fast, huh?
Disgusting…get out! I’m so sick of this garbage. Just put her in the trash because that is where she belongs.
We need to purge the swamp. The entire mofo swamp, and start anew…. With a few exceptions. We all know their names because they are so few.
Another mask revealed, let’s add to the list of traitors 🙂
She should have been out of there when she basically forced Franken out.
And some people say that the progressive wing is supposedly the problem. Good lord…
Lying to start wars after 911 didn’t get this level of outrage, Neither did sedition and invading congress! Or racism, Sexism, gerrymandering, recessions, expanding the supreme court.
They also wouldnt fight for Medicare for all, abortion rights, education, or anything else most Americans want.
But one mayor who actually listens to his constituents? Suddenly the Democratic party has all these firebrands embodying the American spirit of freedom.
The 2024 completely broke the Democrats. They lost being the antiTrump party and now stands for nothing.
The Democrats would rather eat their own and their young than to make the room for
the common people.
Republicans suck yes, these post 100 days of Trump in office, are the most shameful, spineless, and corrupt Ive ever seen from the Democrats.
As a voter is just leaves me left confused. Knowing a party that I want to support hates us young people so much. The party will lie and cheat to hold onto the facade of power they think they have.
What’s she on about?
Something about wanting to be next to be voted out?
She’s the one who forced Al Franken out over something was blown massively out of proportion, and she’ll probably survive this blatant bigotry because Islamophobia is much more normalized that we like to admit.
Good God. I thought that AOC was going to run to replace Schumer. She might do it to replace Gillibrand. Wow.
Man with democrats like these, who needs republicans?
I feel like it’s 2002 all over again
Perfect example of how the Democrats fight tooth and nail against their own progressive wing, but roll over and say Uwu when Trump waddles about smacking everyone with his fascist wand like some Nazi fairy godmother.
Let’s Primary this Loser
Nothing more Republican than a New York Democrat, generally. See: Bloomberg, Cuomo, Adams, Schumer, Gillibrand, and yes even Donald Trump was once a Democrat.
AOC and Mamdani being the exceptions, of course.
America unleashing all its racism at once. Must be exhausting to be a racist.
It’s been incredible watching Democrats eating their own tails over Mamdani.
NY managed to find the one registered Democrat who was a DOWNGRADE from Hillary Clinton to give their Senate seat to.
If these are the Senators we are sending from our most populous and progressive states we are truly doomed as a Party.
Bigots regardless of political affiliation can go fuck themselves.
I called her office today and apparently so did a fuck ton of other people because she released a statement walking it all back. Not good enough in my mind.
For 20+ years of voting, I have been told by the DNC to hold my nose because the candidate I wanted didn’t win, but I had to “vote blue” for the good of the country.
When Howard Dean was forced to withdraw, I was told to vote for John Kerry
When Sanders lost the primary, I was told to vote for Clinton
And Sanders lost the primary again I was told to vote for Biden
When Garcia lost the primary fuck… I was even told to vote for Adams
Guess what Gillibrand, fall in line behind your fucking candidate.
Hey look, another racist. Primary her asap.
That’s so disappointing. I remember about 20 years ago it seemed like she was closer to the leading left edge of the democratic party. Two decades of representing wall street sure will mess someone up.
>Gillibrand said that Mamdani, who is Muslim, is dangerous and supports violence
Not one of you clicked through and watched the video or read the transcript. This is literally just a complete lie. She did not say that.
The Democratic Generational clash is a slow moving iceberg. It started to clash with AOC and is only gonna get worse for a bit. Which works great for republics.
I’ve always disliked Gillibrand especially after she forced out Franken over what turned out to be a hit job/smear attack. And she wasn’t apologetic but thrilled about it.
She’s THE biggest con in the party.
Donors absolutely LOATHE her, especially for what she did to Al Franken.
Screw her. She was the most vocal in getting Al Franken booted. We need more Mamdanis and less Gillibrands.
Showing their real colors.
If AOC vouches for him, I’m good. I trust her over 98% of all sitting Dems right now.
For the geniuses who didn’t read the article:
> “It doesn’t matter what meaning you have in your brain, it is now how the word is received. When you use a word like intifada, to many Jewish Americans and Jewish New Yorkers, that means you are permissive for violence against Jews,” Gillibrand said. Her statements ignored the many times that Mamdani has denounced antisemitic violence — instead suggesting that Mamdani made an explicit call for violence when he did not.
> “I would be very specific in these words, and I would say you may not use them again if you expect to represent everyone, ever again, because they are received as hateful and divisive,” she said, discounting the many Arabic speakers for whom the word simply means “uprising.”
Go ahead and believe that intifada doesn’t mean anything, try using the word “crusade” around Muslims or Jews and see the reaction.
Isn’t she the same idiot who went after Al Franken?
With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
The Billionaires are scared. That means the people are doing something good. Keep it up! Don’t “buy” their bullshit.
She also led the charge to remove Al Franken. Fuck her.
Centrists always seem to have an infinite amount of patience for the right’s nonsense but implode when the left notches the rare victory
This is why the Dems suck man. You get a guy who has strong grassroots support, crushed the young vote, and has policies that truly reflect democratic values from a class perspective.
In turn, party leaders find any way they can to shit on the sliver of positive momentum they have. Loser mentality.
It feels exactly like what they did to Sanders 2x over.
These bastards from both parties support the same core shit but package it in a different way
Fuck Gillibrand. She was one of the biggest pushers against Al Franken, and the Senate is far worse off without him.
Keep in mind this happened 24 hours before a widely-anticipated SC decision to greenlight Trump forcibly expelling hundreds of thousands of minorities from the country. The fact that she still chose in that interview to attack Mamdani for fucking *words* instead speaks volumes.
