Trump: Kirsten Gillibrand ‘Would Do Anything’ for Donations
Attacks senator for saying both he and Bill Clinton should have resigned over sexual-misconduct claims.

President Trump responded to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s calls for him to resign on Monday in typically forthright fashion during an early-morning Twitter tirade. He claimed the New York Democrat had “come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them).” He also accused the “lightweight” senator of being disloyal to the Clintons after she said that in retrospect she believed President Clinton should have resigned after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him.
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

Within the hour, Gillibrand returned fire:
You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv
