but michael sheer , david, we appreciate you both. i'll see you back here again tomorrow. thanks for watching. "deadline white house" starts right now with nicole wallace. >> it's 4:00 in new york, what one democratic senator calls slut shaming tops the coverage of the election in alabama. a tweet that trump tweeted this more, light waegt senator krir ten gill brand, a total flunky for chuck schumer and someone who would come to my office begging for campaign contributions not so long ago, ca using the word crooked. senator gillibrand responded.

>> it was a sexist smear intended to silence my voice. i will not be silenced and neither will the millions of women who have been marching since the women's march to stand up against policies they do not agree with. >> and here's senator elizabeth warren's tweet, quote, are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut slhame senator gillibrand. >> ma >> reporter: many think it's about sexual innuendos. >> i think only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way. so no. hunter? >> no, it not, what he said was open and it was not mind -- >> he's obviously talking about political partisan games that

people often play and the broken system that he's talki ee's tal repeatedly, this isn't new, this isn't new sentiment, this isn't new terminology, he's used it several times ago. as i said a few minutes ago, he's used it several times before talking about men of both parties in fact. when you look back at past comments he made -- >> we're the ones with our minds in the gutter, i get it. let's get to our reporters and guests, from "the washington post," ashley parker, and former prosecutor joyce vance, now a law professor at the university of alabama. msnbc contributor steve schmidt and charlie sykes. you guys are like bono, it's like no other information needed, just your names, and jason johnson, politics editor for "the root" and msnbc

analyst. sarah huckabee sanders has a very difficult job, full stop. today's performance was ridiculous. >> she does have a very difficult job, and i have to say, she does a good job every day of keeping a very straight face in sort of going out and expressing disbelief that anyone would ever have possibly interpreted what the president said or tweeted in what seems to be exactly the way he intended it to be interpreted. but yes, i think today's sort of defied a little bit of cred-- there's clearly a sexual innuendo and there's clearly a sexual way to interpret that tweet, even if she wants to say it's not what he meant. >> let's put it up, because it's worthy some sentence diagramming and that placement of used in all caps. here's what he wrote, light

weight 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. i'm sorry, steve schmidt, there's no other way to interpret what he inferred. >> it is what it is. i just want tos a sent for the moment. she doesn't have a difficult job, she has an easy job, to tell the truth to the american people. she swore an oath to the constitution of the united states which she disgraces every day, when she serially lied hour after hour after hour every day. this is what it is, this is clearly a sexual innuendo from the president of the united states targeting the junior senator from the state of new york, another moment of disgrace for this president, on a long list. and it bears mentioning, just

for a moment, how abnormal this is. the assault, the constant assault on the dignity and the majesty of the office of the president of the united states, and this is exactly the reason the president of the united states is not welcome in the uk. because his presence standing next to her majesty the queen is such an affront to her dignity, that it has ignited the fractious parties in great britain by setting foot in the country. >> on the other hand, what donald trump is doing here, this is one of the first volleys that i think you're going to be seeing more of, against the me too movement. we have seen the willingness of republicans to line up to

dissecret robert mueller, which would have seemed inconceivable even a month ago. ive the focus has turned to donald trump and women are going to be speaking up and their stories are going to be taken seriously, this president is going to push back, he's going to attack these women, he's going to attack their credibility and it's going to be interesting to see whether or not republicans who have been willing to enable him on so many other issues are going to go along with this attack, but that tweet, is part of this campaign that's coming. >> it seems to me that the political scandal that has engulf this white house since day one has been about potential, possible, i out potential, possible, i believe now obvious coordination, contact and collusion with russia. in attacking democrats over investigating russia, that was a far away place, the contacts were with russians, and attacking people for investigating coordination and contact with a foreign power,

all albeit with an americaned a very sars that happened over here. the me too movement has engulfed just about every segment of american life. its engulfed this company and the corporate culture right now is to purge every company of its harassers and to bring in outside investigators and to investigate the enablers, to ask the question, who knew? what did you know about said harasser. how do these women or men leave the white house and find jobs in corporate america? >> the president seems to have had a little bit of a jump the shark moment this morning. i think he may have just gone so far this no one can really take this with seriousness and that certainly rubs off on the credibility of everyone working in this white house. you know, i know you worked under george w. bush, i worked under president obama. i always felt that my integrity at the end of the day was the only thing i could take away

with me from the administration and we all valued that and really made sure that we tried to serve the american people every day. increasingly, this administration just leaves people shaking their heads. there's no doubt about what that tweet this morning went, no reasonable person could read it any other way, with all due respect to sarah sanders belief that my mind was in the gutter, i think the president's clearly was this morning. >> there are 16 allegations that his hands and other parts of his body have spent time in the gutter. this is a man with, i think, 15 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct and his spokeswoman goes to the podium which is supposed to be a place from which the truth is told and tells us that we have our mind in the gutter? >> he's definitely demonstrating each and every day with certainty why he's unfit for the presidency. but our democracy and our institutions that defend this democracy are under attack, when

he's trying to cloud the credibility of media, anybody that questions his credibility. but first of all, let me say i'm very proud, my senator gillibrand in terms of how she has stood up against him and against his misogyny and he's trying to drag the senator into that gutter that he's accusing us of trying to be dragged into. anybody that defends themselves as huckabee is trying to do is come colluding with him and really colluding to try to destabilize this democracy because that's what we're seeing each and every day, anyone

maybe$w+more than 100 who have called for an investigation into claims of sexual misconduct on the part of the president. i think people have thought for a long time that this russia investigation was closing in and that that's the, sort of the topic that is the president's trigger. based on these tweets this morning, i think there was another one too, the president sort of venting and steaming that -- here it is, trump's first tweet is that despite thousands of hours wasted and millions of dollars spent, the democrats have been unable to prove collusion with russia. there's a pointed line of questioning, that for some of these women who have accused donald trump of misconduct, there are photos of donald trump with these women. >> he's lying, and none of this

ever surprises me that s$zhe's lying. i think it's fine that the democrats are asking for an investigation. ehe is the president of the yoout united states. he won the electoral college,'h knew more about president trump last year than we know about roy moore now and he got elected to the president of the united states. so it's interesting not things that are putting down -- to not let the poison that emanates from his twitterdahwç fingers t spread to other parts of the government. let's put this in the regular office. ive if someone's like she's willing to come to me and do anything to get a stake -- people come to you and beg you for money, she was a new york senator and you try and turn that into something sexual, we just need to make sure we can contain it to his wretched, wretched mind and not let it

spread to these other institutions. >> i think someone who has served in this white house and served 365 days only have made their announcements public, others that i'm sure you and i both know of haven't yet. i wonderi ivf sort of defending donald trump ande >> you're right, there are a number who have announced they are leaving and there are a number more who we are hearing are leaving. and some people have found any number of ways to sort of justify and stomach staying on, i would point you to charlottesville for instance, but sort of justify -- they

didn't like these comments, they came out and publicly said they didn't like these comments and yet they stayed in the administration and there's a little bit of god-like thinking, yes, he is bad, but if i wasn't there sort of protecting the american people from this president, it would be worse. that's just one justification that we're seeing, and i don't know if it will apply to the me too movement. >> i want to put you on the record too, steve, you question a lot of people in companies in your day job, do you think people that are calling donald trump liars, how do they go out and find jobs at credible corporations. >> they don't, and they're not going to, they're not hirable. unemployable. >> it is this double standard. there's this amazing cultural moment where you have one standard in the world of entertainment and the world

of -- we have a higher moral ethical -- whether or not this is sustainable, whether or not we are in this me too cultural moment, where american, the private sector is dealing with this very seriously, but the public sector, think of where we're at right now, we have the president of the youth, accused by more than a dozen women. we have roy moore running for senator despite these sexual allegations. donald trump is going to try to say that we need to have a completely different standard. >> we already have laws on the books about this. i think me too is about actually enforcing what's already there. it's not 35 years ago when you say i don't know what to do when people grab -- there should be memos and reprimands and it h8lá

and less than an hour away from our first look at the alabama exit polls, we'll tell you what to watch for on this special election tuesday, stay with us. i used to have more hair. i used to have more color.

and... i used to have cancer. i beat it. i did. not alone. i used to have no idea what the american cancer society did. research? yeah. but also free rides to chemo and free lodging near hospitals. i used to maybe give a little. then i got so much back. i used to have cancer. please give at cancer.org. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain.like most people. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these,

new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family. talk to your doctor today. see if lyrica can help.

i quickly turned to look at what this is. i thought initially this is probably ken's camera bag. but to my surprise, it's donald and he's standing a foot and a half away from me. so his hand had to reach out and touch me.  his face, and he's looking stone cold, just ñ atrvo stunned, i'm speechless, i don't know what to9m1df do or say in moment. >> just to clarify, so he rear e? her story along with others seems to show a behavior. they sayñ;o,y he grabbá their!v

breasts and genitals andqh$j ki them without their consent. p' is hiding behindmh

up with no results? >> i think that's indicative of as someone as hard as it was for me, someone in leadershipe1(/ t have toeíúé publicly say that i a sexual abuse victim when i was younger, it takes courage to say that, you can see how this woman was having difficulty and feeling ashamed. we have been made to feel ashamed, made to be silent, that we1, responsibility forkiwsñ what had to us because it's our fault. so i think we have reached a moment that's empowering to women and i'm hoping we can move to the next phase as a society, that we and we are purged of this scourge of society and women are starting to find their voice, and i do want to stand with them. 7$v i do seepz the dichotomy within the politics and the

culture. culturally we're moving forward, but not in politics, but as a woman, i feel empowered by what we can achieve and how we can move forward. e+b has found his targets, the media, and the i%5itt)jt @&h(lc% in tatters, at best, corrupt at worse, bob mueller and jeff sessions hasn't even been spared from the president's rage as the russia investigation has continued and gotten closer to his family and him. who will the targets be of his rage? we y that the first today was senator gillibrand, he's called the accusers, the white house has actually carried his message ofwmut callingp;a them all lia. but who will his daily ta,wéj be as the me too movement continues to move forward and the president continues to deny these allegations? >> i think you'll see two,

twael actually that we saw in his tweet this morning, saying it's the fake ze to gin false allegations against him and second it will be either these women themselves, women who are accusing him of these things or senator gillibrand who are critical of him, in her case she called on him torwgo step d becauseqhcg of the sexual harast allegations he's faces. he's a counterpuncher, heçç& a one-on-one fight. and he's especialuojx loves one-on-one fights with women. there's often an extra edge when he's fighting against8sita a protagonist. >> is there a legal risk to  ha accused you of a crime, is there legal exposure for someone who punches with an edge and seems to further disparage. i believe he's being sued for defamation, and the l.a. times

posits a theory, president targets for presidential immunity, for those people who arec+ interested in this case aa path to terrifying in a lawsuit makes a huge amounta=ijt e:kdiscipline. if there's one characteristic that seems to be absent from the trump personality, it's verbal discipline. >> blamingú'4(c the victim is a a dangerousx particularly for a public figure. and the president, you know, we have seen this in the russia investigation, where if he had simply abstained fromny?çz twee sorry abstained from talking to himself in now. the same i think will be true as he engages particularly on the specific allegations women have made against him. because these public statements that he makes couldjet l ed admissible in court, they could be springboard for further

accusations as he leaves the d part of impeachment proceedings. and in the culture right now where women are starting to be treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve, that might be the conversation at the end of the day. >> there seems to be a year of intense focus on russia, the velocity of the me too movement seems to have brought this white house to its knees a little faster than russia. >> actually i think these two storiesmery converge in this wa. there's a three pronged attack emanating from this white house, the first is an attack on truth. the redefining of truth is what the leader says is true, whether it's the crowd sized pictures, or the evidence from his ow pigr

with women. then we start to delegislate mi mize the news media. that premeditatively lies every night to the american people to advance donald trump's political agenda. the other prong of the attack is on that other institution arbiter of truth is the justice system. the attacks on the fbi, the attacks on the federal judiciary, this is all part of a deliberate, systematic effort that should he decide to fire robert mueller, that he'll be supported by the republicans, and that we may well see a constitutional crisis in 2018 because all of these things coming together to lay the ground work for his firing of the special counsel, to

delegitimatize the council of these women. so what's being tested here is the very concept of truth. in fact is truth objective or is it subjective? is it subjective through a political lens? >> i think it defines an authoritarian regime. >> i don't think we should be fooled by this attempt to smear these women. you have two different responses from a lot of the supporters, that the women are obviously bought and paid for, they are lying, or they may be telling the truth because some ?vlological issue is more áh" i suspect you will see that " template, and please, no more gloria allred be involved in this particuliwgul picture. >> that's not all bad from a -- >> if i'm donald trump, i want gloria allred to be my target. >> all right, we're hitting pause, actually parker, thank you so much for spending time

with us. when we come back, alabama has a choice to make. >> it's time that we take a road that's going to get us on the path of progress. >> it's difficult to drain the swamp when >ly>syou're up to yo neck in alligators.

and i am a senior public safety my namspecialist for pg&e. my job is to help educate our first responders on how to deal with natural gas and electric emergencies. everyday when we go to work we want everyone to work safely and come home safely. i live right here in auburn, i absolutely love this community. once i moved here i didn't want to live anywhere else. i love that people in this community are willing to come together to make a difference for other people's lives. together, we're building a better california. now what? well, after your first reaction, consider your choices. go it alone, against the irs and its massive resources. hire a law firm, where you're not a priority. call your cpa, who can be required to testify against you. or,

call the tax law firm of moskowitz, llp. i went from being a cpa to a tax attorney because our clients needed more. call us, and let us put our 30 years of tax experience to work for you. roy moore rode a horse to the voting booth today. a curious but apt final act in what has been the strangest and darkest campaigns in recent american political history. both sides pulling out all the stops with heavy hitting surrogates. >> if somebody told you guys, put this election in a movie script, no, i'm being serious, if somebody sent you this as a movie script, you would throw it in the trash. at some point, we got to stop

looking like idiots to the nation. at some point, i mean, listen, i love alabama, but at some point, we got to draw a line in the sand, that we're not a bunch of damned idiots. >> steve bannon with a pointed jab at republicans who didn't back moore's candidacy. >> to mitch mcconnell and senator shelby and -- >> boo! >> and condi rice and all that little bobby corker, all the establishment up there, all that establishment up there every day, that doesn't have trump's back, you know they don't have his =sjvback, at all. what they want him for is that corporate tax cut.

that's all wthey want him for, s soon as he gets that tax cut, you watch what happens. there's a special place in hell for republicans who should know better. >> this guy is such a boob, i can't:w can we put his record up? everyone he has backed except trump has lost. and kellyanne conway was the campaign and trump fired you, who is this guy? >> i am so amused at the cavalcade of nonsense. i love that steve clark and louie gomez who come down here and say i'm not going to come down here and tell you how to vote and then they tell you how to vote. >> this election has nothing to do with steve bannon's political acumen. >> your husband ran against roy moore, didn't he? >> he did. >> and the dynamics in the state

make it very, very -- just voter registration, religious affiliation, views on reproductive freedoms, it's just structurally next to impossible, i mean that's what doug jones is up against right? >> alabama was a solid democratic state until about 1990, senator shelby flipped parties and the state began a crossover. now there are no state wide elected democrats in the entire state of alabama, in judicial offices in executive branch offices and so it's really become difficult. i think sometimes people make the mistake of viewing this election in terms of larger national issues. it's really a product of these emerging forces in alabama that have been building up over the last couple of decades. roy:o in alabama politics, people love him or they hate him, there's

really no middle ground. doug jones, supporter of civil rights, grew up in a blue collar mill family, now they're day verging in a very interesting and unique way in this election, but the deck is stackedcy#f aga a democratic victory in alabama. >> what if, you've got the biggest newspaper chain in the state this is what the world will take away from this race, it will remember that alabamans are the ones who run around in cowboy hats and leather vets and crying women and angry and vitriol and stunning defiance, they will remember alabama wly8the rule of law is negotiatable and decided by political party. there seem to be two things here that +19etcould, i don't know, surprise everyone. one, doug jones seems like a perfect national figure for democrats. so should he win, he might be the answer to a lot of the democrats' national political problems. the second is, you know, white women seem to be one of theiorq

demographic groups most difficult to predict. and is it beyond a possibility that roy moore might lose? >> he may lose this election. doug jones might be the senator this is one of the first, mitch mcconnell said he believes the women. which means he believes that roy moore is a child molester. is he really going to allow him to sit in the senate conference, are there going to be expulsion hearings, or are they going to let the republicans of this congress fold on too this? i suspect they will. then we come to the third squirmish line, you come to an election in 2018, where you have a political battlefield that is suburban in a lot of these districts, and i think you're going to see a coalition of 100% of the democrats, 65% of the

independents, about 18% to 25% of the republican party which will be overindexed towards college educated republican women, i have called it the coalition of the decent, and i think you will see a profound rebuke of this coalition of decency. i think you'll see a change in 2018, do the american people want to put a check on this administration? should roy moore come to capitol hill,:

so ultimately the whole country is going to get to weigh in on roy moore. >> if you just look at the math, right? the last two people who ran as democrats against jeff sessions, they were people of color, )+im could not break 40% as democrats in alabama. so if you really think about it, in order for a democrat, now, doug jones out 43, 44, 45, you literally have to have a twice removed accused pedophile before a democrat can break 45% in the state. so we're not going to win this, i don't think it's possible. >> and even all the other issues we haven't even gotten to. here's a man who says women should not be allowed to run for public office, homosexuality should be illegal, has been nostalgic about slavery. all of these things are discrediting. if he wins tonight, which i suspect he will, it's a huge embarrassment for the republican party. but what this actually does for evangelical christians, i

understand the concern of secularization of society, but what is doing more damage to christianity, people who say happy holidays? or the embrace of roy moore with his toxic bigotry as somehow a champion of christiancomdom. >> what will get more mileage out of a democrat, is win of a republican or the picking up of a seat? >> i think for the democrat to win, you also have to ask, to some extent, a percentage of that base, and that's a very hearty 4t;çbase. but regardless, i think the democratic party does win with this election. and i think it challenges if you're having people asking for senator franken to resign, it's going to very hard for leader mcconnell to not be able to deal with this seriously if he is elected seriously and sits in the senate.

>> all roads tonight lead to the democrats winning. >> what do you mean? >> well, if roy moore loses, the democrats win. if roy moore wins, they win more bigly. >> assuming the party survi survives -- >> you don't assume that the party survives? >> i don't assume that the party survives. but it will literally be the year 2011 before someone doesn't laugh outw talks about values of republicans. and it's mike pence who has to swear him in. the hypocrisy of it. it will be, from a hypocrisy perspective, it will be like being president at the moment of creation, to see him swear this

guy in, it will be an extraordinary moment. >> three years ago, the republicans were afraid of a todd akin moment. >> justifiably so. >> and roy moore is going to be on television every single night, don't let him get on twitter, he'll be worse than the president. >> the reason why we're not telling you more about what charlie referenced is that it's too gross to show on tv. but steve will join us on the big board to break down this crazy, crazy race, previewing what to watch for tonight. needles.

essential for vinyl, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma

and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. a must for vinyl. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". fake news would tell you

the author of the book "on the right" lost his mind and is going to explain that to me. >> it i'm going to have to have a sequel to this. maybe that is why they don't let her speak very often. yes, she has alçf well, mazel tov. what? >> who are these? are they cult figures? are they so bad they're good? i mean whoyw backers? >> they are cult figures and they have made themselves into these heroes of the evangelical movement, i mean how many times does roy moore have to be removed from the supreme court because he hangs up the ten commandments or he refuses to çsame-sex marriage. the word theocrat is bandied

around too often. >> steve, is there any chance that d?jg0÷ jones could defy history, defy demographics, defy voter registration and pull off the first democratic victory in 25 years? >> we're talking about all the road blocks, they are formidable for a democrat in alabama, but let's put it this way, if there was ever0c@÷ going to be an elen that was won©dñ by a democrat i would bevfu this one. the last time we actually had an exit poll was 2012, we didn't even bother to have an exit poll. take a look at 2012, he got 95% of the black vote in alabama. jones is going to have to do something like that. the question is the turnout, will it be close to an obama level turn out of black voters or it will go back to a preobama level. alabama has one of the most

racially polarized electorates in the country. you see obama getting 20% of the white vote, the college educated whites, the suburbanites. this is the focus for jones, they basically want to force a draw in this zelection, with moe among the college educated suburbanites, a couple of ripe areas on the map. this is the 2016 presidential map. six counties in the state with the highest share of college educated voters will go right through shelby county right there, this is outside of birmingham. this is going to be sort of ground zero tonight. there's going to be move from republicans towards jones, aerospace, nasa presence up there, you got lee county, that's where auburn university

is there, montgomery county, a lot of state workers there. outside of mobile, that's baldwin county there, these are the six big counties, they make up about 40% of all the votes cast, these are the only six counties in the state, by6$42÷. way, where donald trump did worse in 2016 than mitt romney did in 2012, so this is sort of the ripe area for the jones campaign, if there's going to be a win tonight, they're going to need a strong turnout of black voters right here in birmingham. and a lot of movement in these counties. but very quickly, something to keep in mind, it can be done, the last time roy moore was on the ballot, (l'6012, fo¥8a chi justice, before all these scandals, he barely won. this is a lightning rod figure even before this campaign. >> steve, thank you very much. melissa, what are you hearing from democrats in the state about projected turnout? i know national democrats have largely stayed out of the state, but i'm sure they're keeping an eye on it.

>> as an elected official, you're always worried aboutqtd mobilizing your base and turnout. i don't think the democratic party has really been invested in being in there to support jones and coming in at the last minute. so that is something we have to watch for. so even though he does lose, the democratic party does win because of the debate that's ensuing and the values that are being demonstrated so i think that's important to note. >> i lived in tallahassee, which is, you know, in sort of the vicinity. but this idea that the voters of alabama would rather send an accused child molester to the senate than someone who is an accomplished prosecutor. is -- he's as law and order as any republican who could put themselves forward and as charlie keeps saying, roy moore has actually been removed twice, so if you're going for law and order, doug jones has actually

got the better record. >> he does, but i think, nicole, this has always boiled down to just basic tribalism. you've got a lot of people down in alabama. i lived in ohio until about par country, justifiable or fought have this inferiority complex. all the new yorkers and californians and chicago people are looking down on them. so when they get an opportunity to send somebody, to steb it no washington, that's what they want. >> irresistible. >> even if that more than is grotesque on every royal level. you wouldn't want roy moore to be giving people halloween candy, you still have people that will want to be in office, alabama can't be told what to do. >> we will sneak in a break. up next, steve schmidt's new theory on the democratic front runner for 2020.

i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

sometime we will broadcast our breaks. steve, share your theory about the kind of month kristen gillibrand has had. >> i think the early moves for presid are under way. you saw it with the single payer news conference with bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and cory booker all standing behind senator sanders. there's, being the nom know of your party, being elected president requires say a certain level of toughness or

ruthlessness and kristen gillibrand showed it this month. she went after both clintons, she has demonstrated the
