Sen Kirsten Gillibrand made her first trip to South Carolina this weekend, since announcing her 2020 exploratory committee for president last month.
She spoke at a Women’s brunch hosted by @ClyburnSC06’s daughter and said she’s confident she could beat President Trump.

“You have to build a stronger picture for America that’s as disruptive as Trump’s, about taking on the money interests, the corrupt greed and the institutional racism... and show that you aren’t afraid of fights. And that’s who I am. I have never backed down from a fight.”
She made another stop at Kiki’s Chicken and Waffles for a small business roundtable with about 20 black leaders.
Here she is sitting next to the one and only Kiki. Expect every 2020 dem hopeful to dine here at some point in the primary.

Citing how more black women die from childbirth than other races, she said “I will take on institutional racism, I will take it head on.”
Eventually the food is served & Gillibrand starts to eat her fried chicken with a fork. She looks around, sees other people eating with their hands and says “Um Kiki, do we use our fingers or forks for the chicken?”
Kiki said to use her fingers, and use her fingers she did.
