Earlier today, Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand sent out this tweet from her official Twitter account:
Tired: Families
Wired: Affordable child care and universal paid leave— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) May 3, 2021
Well, after spending a few hours getting dragged for that, Gillibrand has decided that the people dragging her are the bad guys:
Inspired: Spending less time deliberately misreading tweets and doing anything — literally anything — to help exhausted families.

“Deliberately misreading tweets”? Oh come now, Senator.
LOL. Nice try.

Sen. Gillibrand, basically:

Surely she can come up with something better, especially after nearly three hours.
Yes, it's our fault you posted a stupid, out of date tweet. https://t.co/6x2pqCqvS6

It's not my office's fault that we approved and sent a tweet that is poorly written/potentially confusing, it's YOUR fault for critiquing it. That's a take, I guess. https://t.co/H8yEflYns0

GP Inspired: Blaming constituents like me for reading what you wrote and drawing the proper conclusion from your words.
Write better, clearer tweets, Senator (or Senator's social media flunky). https://t.co/2dQ3OSBzle

"It's everyone else's fault my tweet was garbage"
That's the kind of accountability we're looking for from our elected leaders right there.

Oh good now you’re blaming everyone else for your moronic tweet. I hereby award you the clown of the day award. 🤡🎈🤡🎈

Well deserved (though the day’s still young).
It was not a deliberate misreading. You wrote the words, Kirsten. I'd call it a Freudian slip if we're going to label your nonsense at all.

Exactly. Kirsten Gillibrand let the mask slip and we all saw what was there all along.

That’s what a grownup would do.
Maybe you should present a policy position like an adult instead of a stupid meme.

Until then:
Retired: your tweeting privileges. Log off.
