Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) had some tough words Monday for Bernie Sanders on his gun control stance.
"It's so crippling. I mean, I sat down with a mother last week in Brooklyn, and she lost her 4-year-old baby... she took her kid to a park. Every mom takes their kid to a park. And she took her kid to a park and the kid was killed, a baby, a 4-year-old, a little toddler," the Hillary Clinton supporter told Politico, tearing up. "[Sanders] doesn't have the sensitivity he needs to the horror that is happening in these families. I just don't think he's fully getting how horrible it is for these families."
