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.

Probably could not pass the NY bar either, then again no reputable law firm would offer her a job.
Impossible standards? Like being competent and honest?
DUH
I think it's kind of like knowing not to go near weird looking bugs. It's an innate sense.
The truth is that both tried to sleep their way to the top; it's just that Harris had the good sense to sleep with the mayor of San Francisco while Clinton slept with her boss at a Little Rock law firm.
Oh, and Harris was probably using protection, too.

Well, no. Hillary is completely deplorable, even for a woman.
They are a bunch of idiots.
Lifelong screwup Hillary Clinton failed at everything she tried. All on her own.
Let's play connect the dots, shall we?
(The following derived from online news accounts. If corrections exist, let's have 'em.)
1. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
2. Sex trafficking of girls and young women
3. Bill Clinton's flights aboard Epstein's jet
4. Hillary Clinton and the definition of "enable".
Unlike illegal servers, Uranium 1, Benghazi, debate cheating, and other scandals, the Epstein jet trips could cross a line with low info voters. Folks who never read a newspaper do look at supermarket tabs and they do have strong feelings about item 2. (above).
While Humma most likely doesn’t fart at all, Hilry’s are probably like an elephant’s.
Impossible standards? Well she seemed to pass classified info to Huma quite easily so it could be sold off to the highest bidder in the Muslim brotherhood Humas connected with. So many classified info and emails that even her “husband” Anthony Weiner had them on his laptop.
Seeing how corrupt the FBI is today, I can’t even begin to imagine the crap they let Hillary get away with under Comey. And TRUMP is the guy getting his butt investigated off for the past 6 years??
Who thinks of her as a woman? I think of her as a jackal.
She is deluding the audience in the vein of Baghdad bob. she has to defend her friend and paymaster just to keep her job.
Her gender was never the problem.
Partisan Media Shills and Stooges alert.
C’mon, they never thought she would lose.
And Harris was good at it
When confronted:
Lie.
Get two people to swear to your lie.
Make counter accusations.
Say things like “I don’t remember” and “what difference does it make” or “it is his/their (or pick woke pronoun) fault.”
