I can't help myself, every time I see her face I see Al Franken's face. She did a good town hall last night I must say.

and her former very conservative record (guns, having aided/abetted big tobacco and on and on) having been addressed by what she "says" today.

I've always thought her willingness to exploit Franken and to equate him with the worse of what the Me TOO movement was meant to root out could not be readily forgiven. This proves it and I will NOT.

a candidate who wrote a bill just a couple years ago that would have imprisoned citizens for up to 30 years for boycotting Israel for political reasons.

That's a free speech issue, "Former" Conservative Gillibrand. And it tells me what party you'd be running for if you lived here in Georgia.
