He read the writing on the wall back then during the peak of that movement. These things always overshoot their original intentions and get carried to extremes. Eventually the fever breaks, and common sense prevails, but while a movement's cresting the media tries to outdo itself in pushing the narrative. Gillibrand was just another politician who thought she could ride the wave to increase her popularity with the movement's promoters. Sometimes you have to accept that if you advocate for something and it comes to pass, you also have to adhere to its consequences. Otherwise known as unintended consequences.
