We’re actually having the most fun tonight watching that looping GIF of the camera zooming in on a really constipated-looking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her white SOTU uniform, but we’ve got to hand it to 2020 presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for asking viewers for five bucks while watching her look exasperated during President Trump’s address.
Agree? Chip in $5 so we can put an end to this. https://t.co/nKcdxOJAhY #SOTU pic.twitter.com/4Hkotw8e5S

Put an end to what? Record unemployment? We’re not sure what had her in such a huff, but chances are it was good for the United States.
you mean it will only take 5 bucks to get rid of you? take my money then!

You are just sitting there…how can you not support at least a few things that has been said tonight?
You are that far gone? Sad…

Yes, let’s get rid of jobs, increased wages, etc. on the double.

I'll give alot more than 5 dollars when you pass one good piece of legislation. All I've seen so far is more campaigning.

$5 toward the wall? Count me in!

It’s almost like you want us to loathe you. Well, rest assured, mission accomplished.

Do you really think tweeting/soliciting during a live congressional event is a wise strategy?
— The Civilian (@mrleonardclass) February 6, 2019
If I chip in more, will you leave early?
— Helga (@Helga_Sorceress) February 6, 2019
Nobody loathes Trump more than me, but this request is distasteful during the SOTU address.

Are you allowed to solicit money in the midst of attending an event in the chamber?
— Hattie Kauffman (@Hatsfree) February 6, 2019
Enjoy the ethics violation!
