Kirsten Gillibrand is Mad That Every Single Sexual Assault Accusation in the Military Doesn’t Lead To Conviction

WATCH: Kirsten Gillibrand describes characteristics needed in a President

I’m pretty sure Kirsten Gillibrand’s entire political persona is based on the premise that all men are rapists, and all women are honest.

Seriously.

Despite reports that she has ignored allegations of sexual assault when politically expedient, and that she used to be buddy-buddy with Rapist In Chief Clinton, Kirsten has branded herself the “Me Too” candidate.

…and she’s taking it to a whole new level of ridiculous.

According to Daily Wire:

The senator who has been the most vocal about how we must “believe all women” who make sexual assault accusations recently expressed anger to a decorated general because not everyone who is accused is convicted.

…Wut? Does she know how things work? Does she realize that an ACCUSATION doesn’t always mean it happened?

Apparently not.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), during a hearing to reappoint Gen. James C. McConville to the grade of general and to nominate him to be chief of staff of the U.S. army, claimed sexual assaults were on the rise in the military and convictions were on the decline.

“The percentage of cases that are ending in conviction are going down,” Gillibrand claimed. “I am tired of excuses. I am tired of statements from commanders that say ‘zero tolerance.’ I am tired of the statement I get over and over from the chain of command ‘we got this ma’am, we got this.’ You don’t have it. You’re failing us.”

Could it be that the number of false accusations is going up? You know, now that LOOKING at someone the wrong way is considered sexual abuse?

Gillibrand trotted out a self-reported survey showing the number of women claiming they were sexually assaulted has risen about a percentage point. Gillibrand misleadingly presented this as a fact that sexual assaults are rising. She also brought out the tired and debunked claim that “one in five” women are sexually assaulted.

AGAIN: That claim comes from self-reported surveys with broad definitions of what constitutes sexual assault. The people surveyed say they didn’t report their alleged sexual assault because they didn’t think it was serious. Since the majority of the “sexual assaults” involve merely “unwanted” behavior, it is easy to see why people who respond in the affirmative on such surveys also don’t think they’re actual victims.

But you know – they must ALL be victims. Even when they don’t think they’re victims themselves.

Kirsten Gillibrand pretends to be an advocate for victims. She’s not. In fact, she’s making the plight of ACTUAL victims much, much worse.

All for political gain.

She should be ashamed of herself.
