Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand was born on December 9, 1966. She's 52 years old.
Gillibrand calls herself a "young mom."
From the Washington Post:
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York announced Tuesday that she will run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, in a campaign that is expected to lean heavily on gender issues and imagery.Watch Gillibrand's announcement.
She told host Stephen Colbert on CBS’s “Late Show” that she believes she has “the compassion, the courage and the fearless determination” necessary.
...“I’m going to run for president of the United States because, as a young mom, I’m going to fight for other people’s kids as hard as I would fight for my own. Which is why I believe that health care should be a right and not a privilege,” she said.
Gillibrand is most definitely not a "young mom." She's a mom, but she's not young. She's 52. She's too young to get the senior discount at places and too young for some retirement communities I suppose, but other than for those types of things, she is not young by any measure. At 52, she wouldn't even be a "young" grandmother.
The way she grabbed Colbert's hands as she made her announcement was really odd, not at all presidential. What was that?
"Hold my hand while I say this really big thing."
Good grief.
What's with these women born in 1966?
Christine Blasey Ford is also 52 and talks like she's much, much younger. At least when she testified during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, Blasey Ford spoke with a squeaky little voice and with inflection that made her sound uncertain and confused.
Please, middle-aged women, talk like big girls.
