THREAD: Kirsten Gillibrand is the queen of the ‘me too’ hypocrites. She “believes all women” – unless they accuse Joe Biden.
Given that she hosted tonight's Women for Biden call, her dismissal of Tara Reade's allegations should not be forgotten.

Gillibrand said Bill Clinton should have resigned for the Lewinsky affair.
She was the first Democrat senator to call for Al Franken to resign.
She enthusiastically participated in the politically-motivated smearing of Brett Kavanaugh.

Gillibrand was adamant that women must be believed.
She said if we don't believe women, then we "don't value survivors."
But Gillibrand’s recent statements cannot be reconciled with her dismissal of Tara Reade.

Statements like:
👉“Do Senate Republicans believe women? Do they value our stories? Do they trust what we share about our experiences?”
👉“Do Senate Republicans believe women? Do they value our stories? Do they trust what we share about our experiences?”
👉“The message we're sending to survivors is that we don't believe you, that your voice doesn't matter and that we don't value you. It basically tells to American women, we don't value women.”
👉“We have presidential candidates running right now who think the Me Too movement has gone too far. Well, what do you mean by that? Do you mean any woman who has come forward to say she has been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted shouldn’t be complaining?”
👉 “I’ve got to tell you, I’m really sick of it. I’m so freaking sick of it. I can’t tell you how angry I am that Democrats, Democrats turn a blind eye to sexual assault.... And they play lip service to women and to women voters.”
👉“Women are watching as the most powerful people in this country disbelieve, distrust and minimize their experiences. We need to answer this: Are we a country that values women? Do we believe women when they tell us about sexual trauma? Do the stories of survivors matter to us?”
👉 “I believe Dr. Blasey Ford because she’s telling the truth. You know it by her story. You know it by the fact that she told her therapist five years ago. She told her husband. This is a trauma she’s been dealing with her whole life.”
👉“There’s no prize for holding a powerful man accountable. But I believe we should value women, and I believe we should do the right thing even when it's hard. Others may regret standing with women, or back down from fighting for them. I never will.”
