Jen Palmieri Blames Sexism for Clinton Loss: If People Step Back in History, It’s a Radical Notion for Women To Be in Charge

‘It’s only been 100 years that women could even vote’

RUSH EXCERPT:
PALMIERI: "We had set out to prove she could do the job, just like any man could do the job. Just as well as anybody who had the job before her. In doing that, you sort of reduce her to a female facsimile. And that robs her of a lot. I think even if she had one, and I want to be clear about this. Even if she had won, she could still have these obstacles. People are comfortable with candidates — and they have a problem with, that’s where you start to hear things, you know, there’s something about her I just don’t like, something about her I just don’t trust. If people step back, it’s a radical notion for women to be in charge, to be involved in politics. It’s only been 100 years that women could even vote."
