Kirsten Gillibrand on Desus and Mero and The Late Show

More evidence that Kirsten Gillibrand is becoming a national figure: KG appeared on both the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Viceland's Desus & Mero this week.

The full-length Desus & Mero segment is embedded above. During the conversation they take up the Kristen/Kirsten issue, Mero's campaign for state comptroller, scandalizing Joe Lieberman with the f word, tweeting as a politician, Donald Trump, Russian interference, publicly-funded elections -- and running for president in 2020. Gillibrand fell back on her usual line about being focused on running for Senate in 2018. (Though look for "KG: Good in the 'hood!" bumper stickers.)

The Late Show segment is embedded below. She and Colbert talked about the NRA and giving up swearing for Lent. (Apparently that's not going well.)

Kristin Gillibrand needs to give up the Trump bashing and start working on things to improve the lives of New Yorkers such as good jobs, a healthy environment, housing and infrastructure (to name just a few in case she needs some ideas) which is why she was sent to the Senate in the first place.

Amen brother bullwinlke!

Kirsten, you've forgotten everyone here in Washington county and the promises you made to protect the 2nd amendment, work for agriculturists and promote tax relief for home owners. Your goals have shifted from working for the people who elected you to working for yourself and your demonic party. You've abandoned your ethics and have become a part of the problem with Washington rather than the solution you professed to be.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
