A video reaction shot of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) responding critically to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address is at the heart of a complaint filed with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT).

In the video, Gillibrand is seen sighing and rolling her eyes in response to Trump’s declaration that the United States has “the hottest economy in the world.” Gillibrand posted the video from her personal Twitter account, asking readers if they agree with her and encouraging them to “Chip in $5 so we can put an end to this.”
