Does Kirsten Gillibrand's zero-tolerance apply to anyone other than Al Fraken?

She has made claims in the past about being harassed, but I don't recall her naming any of the people involved in the harassment. If she really believes in zero-tolerance, then she should be exposing every single member of Congress who she is aware of who has either harassed her personally, or who has secretly paid out money to make harassment claims go away. Anything less and she is a flaming hypocrite and a political opportunist.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I am assuming that her own experiences would count as credible to her.

Because nobody is going to do hit jobs like that on Republicans.

She did indeed, a year or so ago, tell us she had been sexually harassed by some members of Congress. Sweetheart that she is she declined to name names. How noble. Now that she thinks she smells presidency in the future she is “game on”.
