Salon: Sen. Gillibrand: Chuck Hagel “has not shown leadership”
Salon reports:
In a recent Politico Magazine piece, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has been on a righteous crusade as of late to change the U.S. military’s blasé cultural and institutional response to sexual assault, took a shot at Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel for what she described as a lack of leadership on her signature issue.
Speaking of Hagel, Gillibrand told Politico’s Glenn Thrush, “He has not shown leadership. … I think he has not lived up to his promises, the promises of having the passion and the drive for rooting out the scourge of sexual violence.”
“I don’t think that he has lived up to my expectations,” Gillibrand said.
