Kirsten Gillibrand in 2020 Vice Presidential prospects

On Foreign Policy: Israel went in wrong direction barring Congressional visit

GILLIBRAND: Congress has a duty to make decisions about whether we give aid, how we protect allies such as Israel with qualitative military edge. I don't know why Netanyahu would want to deny members of Congress to come to Israel if they expect us to be that never-ending partner and friend.

Q: They talk about the BDS movement ("Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions" directed against Israel)..

GILLIBRAND: In this country, we don't deny people the right to participate in conversations about their views and their values. Unfortunately, Netanyahu has allowed a law that says if you support the BDS movement they can prevent you. Any time you are undermining basic free speech rights and human rights you're going in the wrong direction.

On Free Trade: NAFTA 2.0 is a disaster; trade war harms producers

GILLIBRAND: I'm concerned because I think NAFTA 2.0 is a disaster. I think it was a giveaway to drug companies in Mexico. It's going to harm our jobs. President Trump said no bad trade deals. Not only has he entered into them, but he's started a trade war with China. And it's really harming producers.

On Gun Control: Machine gun registration is framework for assault weapons

On Gun Control: Senate would pass gun laws if allowed to vote

On Homeland Security: White supremacists are domestic terrorists

GILLIBRAND: Absolutely. And as President I would direct my Department of Justice to investigate white supremacy and other domestic terrorist groups to infiltrate them, to make sure we know if they're planning attacks, and to absolutely combat white supremacy in society because these groups are domestic terrorists.
