Hillary Defends Sexist Remarks [semi-satire]

While in India promoting her election memoir "What Happened," former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laid a big share of the blame for her loss to Trump on "white women who were too weak to stand up to bullying by their husbands demanding that they vote for Trump."

Clinton's former 2008 presidential campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle called Hillary's contention "wrong" and "unhelpful. To try to portray women as the pawns of men will clash with every woman's personal perception that she is the master of her own self. It won't ring true to women or to men. Rather than blaming other women for her defeat I think Hillary needs to consider whether she could've done better in communicating a rationale for voters to choose her over Trump."

"The assumption that women are free to make their own choices ignores simple facts," Clinton responded when told of Doyle's comments. "My own personal history disproves her contention. My husband bullied me on how to vote. I started out as a Goldwater Girl, but after years of unrelenting pressure from Bill I switched to Democrat. His psychological domination was so intense that I was cowed into a humiliating campaign to cover up for his philandering. So don't tell me that the 52% of married white women who voted for Trump weren't victims of marital intimidation. As a former victim myself, I know that this type of bullying is real."

Hillary..."My own personal history disproves her contention. My husband bullied me on how to vote.

And also...

McCabe... called the move "incredibly unfair. Others who have leaked confidential information and lied about it haven't been treated as harshly. Comey leaked and lied more than I did. Now he's a media hero with a multi-million dollar book deal and speaking tour. All I did was follow the orders that came down the line from above."

Ya' just can't make this stuff up.

Oh, wait, it's by Semmens, so ... maybe, just a little made up.

Thanks much, John, for another fine column!
