Fez Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 1 minute ago, Ser Scot A Ellison said: So, out of curiosity, if she runs and does well where sexist and racist statements either roll off or serve to her benefit (a nasty State senator named Jake Knotts called her a "Raghead" and it actually helped her campaign) will you say the same thing? She seems to do well, we will see. She probably will face a lot fewer statements because she's a Republican. Democrats can make sexist and racist comments about politicians, but Republicans do it far more frequently and they don't do it against their candidates at nearly the same rate.

Jake Knotts is a Democrat turned Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is hopefulness at best. Sarah Palin had some incredibly harsh things said about her. Maher called her a cunt. And that's not getting into what Sanders supporters called Clinton. I think you'll find that sexism is the one uniting factor among Democrats and Republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
