Pelosi should fight on equal terms
When it comes to men, women have lousy judgment. As proof, I offer the fact that there is a Mrs. Graham.
But as bad as their judgment is about men, women’s taste in feminists is even worse.
On Monday, Politico ran a story headlined “Pelosi Warns Against Ousting a Woman,” in which the person who wants one of the most powerful political positions on Planet Earth — who would be second in line for the presidency itself — argues that it’s not fair to force her to fight for it. Because she’s a girl. “Nancy Pelosi is making gender a central part of her bid to reclaim the speaker’s gavel — leaning hard into the pitch that Democrats cannot oust the only woman at their leadership table following a historic election for women,” Politico writes. They follow up with a quote from Florida Congresswoman Lois Frankel:
“I think it would look ridiculous if … we have a pink wave with women who have brought back the House, then you’re going to not elect the leader who led the way? That would be wrong.”
With all due respect, Rep. Frankel, but what’s “wrong” is saying that the person who runs the People’s House should be picked by virtue of the fact that she is a woman.
“You cannot have the four leaders of Congress (and) the president of the United States, these five people, and not have the voice of women,” Pelosi said on CBS over the weekend. And of course she believes that woman should be her.
Am I the only person who’s just a bit … embarrassed for Pelosi? She’s spent her entire adult life in politics, she’s even achieved the speakership once before. And now she’s reduced to ‘You gotta pick me cuz I’m a girl!’? In that same interview, Pelosi told “Face the Nation” that “if Hillary had won, I could go home.” But if Hillary had won, it wouldn’t have been a victory for feminism. Hillary Clinton is the worst “feminist” ever.
Unlike Pelosi, who battled her way into power, Hillary rode her way to Washington on the coattails of a man — her husband, the womanabusing Bill Clinton.
Hillary advanced her power by helping her husband cover up his hideous treatment of women, used his name to get elected to the U.S. Senate, then ran for president twice on the ‘If you don’t vote for me, you’re a misogynist’ ticket. Hillary is to feminism what Donald Trump is to public civility:
The worst possible example.
And now two of her former staffers say she’s likely to run again. Why? Because we owe it to her, dammit. She’s a woman!
The Feminist Victimhood movement is impervious to facts. A whopping 64 percent of Democrats say that women in politics face gender discrimination — in the same year that a record 128 women (and counting) were elected to Congress.
In New Hampshire, the entire congressional delegation is currently female, and the Democratic nominee for governor, Molly Kelly, came within 6 points of the governorship. She lost, not because of chromosomes but because she ran a crummy campaign. And the lowest point was when she announced that “New Hampshire needs a woman governor.”
Once again — who doesn’t cringe when they hear this stuff ?
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, South Carolina’s woman governor left office to become Trump’s U.N. ambassador, the most powerful political flak in America is Kellyanne Conway — and so-called feminists are still “complaining bitterly” that boys won’t pick girls for their team?
Ladies, please. Stop demanding jobs based on your gender that you’re entirely capable of earning yourself. And please stop accusing Republicans of being misogynists for not supporting (ahem) outstanding candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.
Trust me: Nobody is more excited about the return of Speaker Nancy Pelosi than the men — and women — of the GOP.
