‘Morning Joe’ Panel: People Not Supporting Kamala Harris Due to Bad Policies Is ‘Gender Bias’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "So it's interesting, Huma, we saw a lot of women in the focus groups, and I take it that this is a lot of women feeling that way as well. Is this gender bias?"
ABEDIN: "I -- it seems as though ambition is still a bad word when it comes to women. A lot of these amorphous feelings, this idea that women are emotional, unlikable, difficult, some of the other terms that came up in that report. It's like the more accomplished you are, the more suspect you are. There was a term called tall poppy syndrome, which I thought was very interesting, the more you stand out, the more you're criticized as a woman. And to be a commander-in-chief, to be running to be commander-in-chief, well, there's no greater, higher ambition than that. So I think some part of it is gender biased.”
