Kristen Gillibrand Made Me Feel Awkward

The room we were in was small, tiny. She was in my face the whole time. It was impossible to avoid her gaze, as she continued to maintaining eye contact with me the entire time, I felt like my personal space was being invaded. I swear she even winked at me once or twice. It might have been a twitch, the pollen count was pretty high that day. Still, it looked like a wink to me.

Her tousled, shoulder length blonde hair, radiant smile, and a sleeveless black dress made me wonder if there wasn’t a seductive subtext to her behavior. She was pretty “handsy” too when she talked—using those slender alabaster fingers to massage her position on immigration.

Her passion was undeniable, in all honesty, she really “woke” something inside of me, if you know what I mean,

Of course, she was on television, and I was in my TV room—my minuscule TV room I might add—so her presence was unavoidable.

I still felt violated, if only by remote control.

I debated with myself for some time about coming forward…Am I overreacting, Do I want to deal with the media circus that accompanies these allegations and am I crazy, it’s just TV.

I’m not saying she intentionally did anything wrong, but she should be more self-aware of the effect she has on innocent men who naively tune into to Morning Joe for political news and commentary but end up needing a cold shower. 

The question is, is a woman who is this oblivious to her effect on men suited to be President of these United States.
