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.

Plenty of people questioned whether she was qualified, justifiably so since she never held any position that she got on her own merit. Every job she ever had came from her being married to Bill Clinton.
She was the "personality candidate", it's just that her personality was that of a pissed off water moccasin and her ethics are slightly worse than Al Capone.
Stretching the truth since at least 1968.
Um, howsabout Hitlery is a lying, manipulating, backstabbing communist piece of human excrement? Maybe THOSE are the reasons she lost? Of course, many current politicians are like that so ...
I always questioned is she was “qualified”.
She obviously was qualified under the US Constitution, but she never demonstrated success in any position, which you would want to see in a candidate.
She was handed a series of very high profile jobs and failed spectacularly at all of them. That is no reason she should be hired to fail at an even higher level.
