Huma Abedin says Hillary Clinton 'faced impossible standards' as a woman in politics: 'Like you couldn't win'
Fox News ^ | 10/06/2022 | Hanna Penreck

Former campaign vice chair for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, Huma Abedin, told "The View" hosts on Thursday that Clinton faced "impossible standards" as a woman in politics.

Co-host Ana Navarro said "politics have become a personality contest" and asked Abedin about Vice President Kamala Harris being "judged" by the same "phantom ideal woman" as Clinton.

"I know the challenge and you know this well that Hillary had to face just as a woman in politics," Abedin said. "All these impossible standards, you know, she needs to be taller, shorter, talk this way. This is annoying, you know, she looks angry when she speaks. It was almost like you couldn’t win no matter what you said."

Abedin said Clinton was never the "personality candidate" and said no one ever questioned whether she was "qualified."

"It was all of these other sort of excuses and I think it’s because we as a society, we cannot – that’s by the way both men and women because women do decide elections in my opinion. We can’t see women as commander in chief. We close our eyes and you think of president and you think of a man," Abedin said.

She hadn’t even passed a bar exam at the time.

Took but never did pass the DC Bar AFAIK.

Hillary is very unlikeable, even more so to women than men.

You would think you would want “special” people for firsts.
Instead they got:

First black POTUS - an effeminate half black bastard that was raised by white Communist grandparents in Hawaii, then became an Asian Muslim that ate dog.

First female & black VP - Mentally retarded slut that cackles.

I hope Hillary and the faggot run for POTUS. Epic shitshow.

Showing an example of the worst woman one can be and then blame anti-woman bias - well, she has chutzpah.

Unfortunately, being a senator isn’t much of a qualification, nor is being a president’s wife or a failed secretary of state.

Impossible standards. As in she never held an executive position in anything and rode the coattails of her philandering husband into office impossible standards?

Seriously, someone had to have played a hand in those two hooking up. It had to be an arranged marriage.

You would think Hillary was the only woman ever to enter National politics.

Good grief. It has been six years. Enough with the excuses. She got the nomination. She got 48% of the popular vote. If she had performed better in a few states, she would have been elected, but she didn’t. She lost. Did we hear Michael Dukakis still moaning six years after he lost? No, we didn’t. He disappeared into private life because he has the integrity not to embarrass himself as a sore loser.
