Gillibrand stands by Biden after supporting Kavanaugh, Franken accusers
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), an outspoken advocate of the #MeToo movement, said on Tuesday that Tara Reade, the former senate staffer for Joe Biden who has accused him of sexual assault, has the right to be heard but that she personally believes the Biden campaign’s denial.
Gillibrand supported Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and was one of the first Democratic lawmakers to call for former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to resign from the Senate over sexual misconduct allegations.
