(1,533 posts)KG lead the charge, so gets called out on the primacy effect. Did you also bark at the media when they kept mentioning her in relation to the massive effort to force Franken out?
You even tried to give grief to someone from New York for calling her name. That person was calling out their own Senator, a person they could vote for. My personal opinion of Gillibrand doesn't matter, as I can't vote for or against her in New York. IF she ran for national office, she would not get a vote from me except in a presidential general election. Then I would hold my nose and do it.
My $0.02, what happens when Gillibrand is called out is the natural outcome of the effort she put into this, and is in comparison to what she did to Franken, a butterfly's wingflap in Argentina. Only the whiniest person in the world would complain about Gillibrand being called out.
