Gillibrand is OBVIOUSLY running in 2020, so she’s launched the beginnings of her campaign.
So far so good…. right?
First she blamed white people for her “embarrassing” and “racist” past.
Now this:
I will no longer accept donations from corporate PACs, and I wanted to share why I’ve made that decision. I hope you’ll join me in doing everything we can to fight to reform our broken campaign finance system. pic.twitter.com/v2oWvEiUCe

Oh honey. How noooooble of you.
What do you want? A cookie?
Everyone sees right through this crap.
Corporations cannot legally donate directly to campaigns, if you know of this happening you should report it to the FEC. She is not legally allowed to coordinate with PAC’s that work on her behalf. Her telling them not to take corporate money would actually be illegal.

I noticed your wording there: No more corporate PAC checks. So corporate non-PACs & not-specifically-corporate PACs are still A-OK, I presume. pic.twitter.com/WAtazWCecv

That “corporate” bit was an interesting caveat

So if she’s not taking money from corporate PACs, then I can only assume she’s getting the money from somewhere else. https://t.co/hDBG6jJJoh

Where oh WHERE is she getting the money?!
Union workers.

Definitely my first guess. https://t.co/iq7AlPpriV

Which is stolen from union workers.

Totally OK to accept PAC money stolen from union workers, though. https://t.co/SI5xZNW1kA

So what does this all come down to?
She gladly and aggressively sought this money for 12 years, pretending she is pro-business. She is not taking it now because corporate PAC$ is an unbelievably tiny portion of Presidential campaign $.
Phony from Day 1. Hillary with a personality. https://t.co/SI5xZNW1kA

A sh*t personality… but one nonetheless.
“Because I’m from New York, and my re-election is assured thanks to the dipshits that vote here. This allows me the freedom to virtue signal and morally posture.” https://t.co/ykDsVWnx16

In fact, she’s not just FREE to virtue signal, she’s expected to!
But goooood job, Kirsten! I’m sure you’re feeling super smug about the FEW points you earned for this one:
Thank you! We need all @TheDemocrats to do the same. We the people can finance candidates that inspire us. We vote after all. Corporations can’t vote.

you are doing it right. Good job.

Bless their hearts.
Hey, Mr. Charles, I have some prime real estate to sell to you. Don’t worry, I’ll “do you right.”
