Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand joined anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” to talk about the COVID-19 relief package that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is preparing to pass, with only his fellow Democrats in support if necessary.

“I just don’t think it is a time for half measures. We have to meet the need where it is, and that is the more generous set of ideas that have been put forward by both President Biden and Sen. Schumer on behalf of the Senate Democrats,” she said. “I think that Republicans are wrong to really not give the resources that their states and certainly New York needs.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the senator from New York also announced she'll be serving on the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

“New York is still the number one terror target in the country, and in light of all of the cyberattacks by Russia over the last year, I thought it was now more important than ever that I could serve in that committee so I could better what the risks are, what the challenges are, and then so I can offer more robust solutions to keep our community safe," she said.

Gillibrand also talked about a bill that she introduced that would extend workplace discrimination protection to members of the Armed Forces. It would give service members who feel they have been discriminated based on race a way to ask for accountability and oversight.
