I thought this would happen. Conservatives hailed Kirsten Gillibrand based on her stance on immigration, gun rights and fiscal responsibility. I guess immigration can be crossed off the list. Now that she’s a senator and no longer beholden only to the voters in her conservative congressional district she seems to be singing a different tune.
And despite her vote in Congress when she was a representative from upstate New York, Ms. Gillibrand said she no longer supported cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities like New York that fail to enforce all immigration laws.
She said she no longer favored the legislation, which would have led to financial penalties for the city. “In a lot of these issues, it’s a case of learning more and expanding my view,” Ms. Gillibrand said in an interview after the meeting.
How long will it take before she starts “learning and expanding” her view when it comes to gun rights and “stimulus” spending?
