Hillary will set her straight.
Via Daily Mail:
A top Democratic donor is thinking about cutting off her donations to the senators who pushed Sen. Al Franken out after he was accused of non-consensual touching.
‘In my gut they moved too fast,’ longtime Democratic donor Susie Tompkins Buell told the New York Times in a text message. ‘For me this is dangerous and wrong. I’m a big believer in helping more women into the political system but this has given me an opportunity to rethink of how I can best help my party.’
Buell said that Franken, who officially left the upper chamber on January 2, ‘was never given his chance to tell his side of the story.'[…]
As allegations piled up, he said he wanted the Senate Ethics committee to take up the matter.
His Democratic colleagues, however, wanted him out.
The charge was led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York with possible 2020 presidential ambitions.
‘As for Gillibrand, unfortunately, I believe she miscalculated and she shot herself in the foot,’ Buell told the Times. ‘I have supported her for many hears. Will I going forward? To be determined.’
Franken’s ouster makes the math more difficult for Democrats later this year, as the party already had to defend 23 Senate seats.
Now they have to guard 24.
The two independents who caucus with the Democrats, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine, are also up for re-election.
