DC: Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand dodged a line of questioning from Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Monday about her stated desire to get money out of politics while she is charging thousands of dollars for tickets to her own campaign events.
Wallace brought up the issue of money in politics by bringing up fellow Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who “announced today that’s she not going to hold any big fundraisers with high ticket prices to get in.”
“Is Warren right that access to candidates is for sale?” Wallace asked, referring to the fact that a Pfizer executive is “holding a big fundraiser” in March and selling tickets for “$1,000 to $2,700.”
When a Democrat says they want to get the money out of politics, what they really mean is that they want anything banned that would give money to their GOP candidate. You can be sure to keep that the Dems will keep that Union money flowing. Biggest money laundering scam going.
“Kirsten Gillibrand Wants Money Out Of Republican Politics.” There. Fixed it.
Yeah, and she wants abortions to be safe,ethical and rare too!
It speaks volumes that someone, somewhere, would pay money to hear a liar lie.
R U Shittin Me?
She would have to pay ME $10,000 plus air fare plus cab fare and hotel (with meals) expenses to sit quietly and listen to her filthy fukkin lies.
What is wrong with us?
Surely it isn’t just New Yorkers who are so grotesquely stupid?
How do these people find their way to work every day?
Truly, it wobbles the mind.
izlamo delenda est …
Kirsten Gillibrand is just an echo of Schumers, who has been training her for years to follow his lead. Why give her money to run when she just mimics Schumer on every issue. How about some new blood?
Thousands of dollars for a ticket to a campaign event.
Thousands!
Somehow I feel like I’m left out of the American system, both political and economic.
Absolutely one of the most painful to listen to interviews, in the history of politics. Back off the caffeine, Kirsten.
I might pay (less than $1) to watch the tape of her and the burro.
Other than that I can’t think of a thing she could possibly do or say which would interest me (actually, that wouldn’t interest me, either – I no longer drink and smoke dope).
