CNN Commentator on Hillary’s High Unfavorables: ‘A Lot of This is Sexism’
Mediaite ^ | 4/18/2016 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 04/18/2016 11:01:30 AM PDT by simpson96

CNN political commentator and NY1 host Errol Louis said during a Monday morning discussion that the reason Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has such high unfavorability numbers in most polls was because of unconscious sexism on the part of respondents.

New Day host Chris Cuomo asked Louis about a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll that found that even among Democrats, Clinton had a 56% unfavorable rating. “Let me suggest, because some of her strategists have said this kind of quietly, it’s not really a big thing on this campaign trail: a lot of this is sexism,” he responded

“It’s buried so deep that people just say, ‘I don’t trust her, she doesn’t keep her word,’” he said. “And then you turn it around and say, ‘What politician does?’”

Louis also suggested there was an element of sexism to the protest held by Bernie Sanders supporters where they threw dollar bills at her motorcade: “Everybody raises money from all kinds of sources, she’s the one they throw dollars bills at.”

Add “minorities” and gays to that list. Together they outnumber the rest of us. And that spells disaster for the country.

LOL

Can’t dislike a woman without it being sexist.

Can’t dislike a Black guy without it being racist.

Are we at least still allowed to dislike lying sleazebag democrat swine if they happen to be straight White males?

All of us Conservatives are crying our eyes out because a liar on the Left called us sexists when it doesn’t apply.

Well, sir, Mr. Socialist author I say that you are a giant dinosaur with a large wing that knocks things over.

Why do I say this, because it makes as much sense as stating that it’s sexist to reject a hypocritical, lying, lawless, evil, destructive Socialist that wants to doom all of humanity with draconian laws made based on the Climate Change Hoax.

I think most people with a working brain would reject a man with the same traits.

If you criticize Obama for any reason you are a racist.

If you criticize Hillary Clinton for any reason you are a sexist.

Does that about cover it?

Her favorables are equally low w/ women as well. Are women sexist toward Hillary as well?

No matter what they say to cover her ass, their argument will never suffice. Need I state the obvious? Whether she goes for two bits, two dollars or a million for a go, she’s still what she is.

Sander’s supporters throwing money at her motorcade was entirely appropriate.

Meh. I’d vote for a modern-day Maggie Thatcher over a Clinton, male or female, any day.

More like suxism. She sucked at being a Senator, she sucked as a First Lady, she sucked as Secretary of State, etc.
