Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) went after President Trump on Saturday for his tweet questioning a lack of "due process" in abuse claims, saying that Congress could hold hearings about sexual misconduct allegations against him if he wanted due process.
The President has shown through words and actions that he doesnt value women. Its not surprising that he doesnt believe survivors or understand the national conversation that is happening, Gillibrand tweeted.
If he wants due process for the over dozen sexual assault allegations against him, lets have Congressional hearings tomorrow, she continued. I would support that and my colleagues should too.

I don't think so. I Gillibrand just showed what her move against Franken was really about.

Due process and an investigation might have uncovered things about the accusers, like, hey, she got Rubles put into an offshore Cyprus bank account. Oh, hey, that other one got a condo in her name off a tacky golf course in Florida.
Due process might have shone some light on Russian meddling in our democracy.
Instead my vote for Al got stolen.
I'm still mad as hell. The stupidity of whole thing by people who should be smarter than that.
