Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand asserted that front-runner Joe Biden had a less than perfect record on women’s issues during the Wednesday night Democratic debate. Referencing an op-ed penned by Biden over two decades ago, Gillibrand went after Biden on stage on his personal record advocating for women.

“I want to address Vice President Biden directly,” Gillibrand, 52, said. “When the Senate was debating middle class affordability for child care, he wrote an op-ed. He voted against it, the only vote. He wrote an op-ed that he believed that women working outside the home would ‘create the deterioration of family.’ He also said that women who were working outside the home were ‘avoiding responsibility.'”
