Gilly, Trump wage war of the ‘sexist’
President Trump on Tuesday lashed out at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, saying the New York senator had begged him for campaign cash and “would do anything” to get it.
“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,” the president tweeted a day after his home-state senator called for him to resign over sexual-misconduct allegations from before he took office.
Gillibrand, who was in a Biblestudy group on Capitol Hill when Trump’s roundhouse landed, tweeted back that “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.”
The social-media-obsessed president’s attack on Gillibrand got just 63,000 likes and 18,000 retweets from his 44.5 million followers by late Tuesday. The senator’s response got 267,000 likes and 102,000 retweets — even though she has only 892,000 followers.
Gillibrand later called Trump’s tweet “a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice.”
Backlash was swift as Democrats slammed the sexual implication of Trump’s missive.
“Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand?” Massachusetts Sen. Eliza- beth Warren wrote on Twitter.
Sen. Schumer also stuck up for his colleague: “The President’s tweet today was nasty & unbecoming of a president,” he wrote.
The White House denied Trump’s tweet had anything to do with sex.
“There is no way that this is sexist at all,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. “Only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way.”
Trump, she added, only meant that Gillibrand and politicians like her could be bought off with campaign contributions.
Trump himself refused to explain what he meant after signing the National Defense Authorization Act at the White House, ignoring a reporter’s request for an answer.
