Gillibrand Preparing Attack on Biden

By Leave a Comment

Axios: “They don’t want to talk about it, but the struggling Kirsten Gillibrand campaign appears to have spent a lot of time Googling Joe Biden as of late. The New York senator has publicly —and cryptically — alluded to unnamed Democratic candidates who ‘do not believe necessarily that it’s a good idea that women work outside the home.’ The remark, which she’s declined to clarify, has generated fervid speculation. ”

“Meanwhile, an account on the site newspapers.com that appears to be linked to her campaign has been gathering news articles about the former vice president’s stance on the child tax credit in the ’80s. (The newspaper.com account and related Twitter account appear to have been taken down after we approached the Gillibrand campaign for comment.)”

“The account belongs to somebody called wilcox8405. Gillibrand employs a researcher named Alexandra Wilcox.”
