(THE BLAZE) — One of the male colleagues who made a crack about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s weight was the late Daniel Inouye, according to the New York Times.
Citing “people with knowledge of the incident,” the Times on Monday named Inouye as the senator whom Gillibrand said once squeezed her waist and told her, “Don’t lose too much weight now, I like my girls chubby.”
Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) made the revelation in her new book, “Off the Sidelines,” but didn’t identify the colleague except to call him one of her “favorite older members of the Senate.” Inouye (D-Hawaii) died in 2012 at age 88.
