Top Clinton backer reportedly calls for Steinem and Albright to be yanked from campaign trail

[DigitalDrifter]

The fallout from the controversial remarks made by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and feminist icon Gloria Steinem widened on Tuesday as a top Hillary Clinton backer suggested the campaign should sideline the two key Clinton surrogates. According to a report by New York Times reporter Amy Chozick, Massachusetts state treasurer Deb Goldberg called for Steinem and Albright to be “kept away” from the Clinton campaign going forward. The suggestion came during a conference call with a group of elected officials who are supporting Clinton, an anonymous source told the Times. A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign said she appreciated getting feedback, but offered no details on how the ...

The commotion surrounding Steinem and Albrighterupted over the weekend. Steinem made a remark on Bill Maher’s HBO talk-show about younger women supporting Sanders because they are chasing “the boys.” Albright criticized younger women, suggesting they should grow up and vote for Clinton. “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!” she said. By Sunday afternoon, Steinem had apologized with a Facebook post, but the furor continued Monday as video footage from 1996 showing her declaring Bernie Sanders “an honorary woman” resurfaced. Some women, including Susan Sarandon, expressed dismay that women who supported Sanders were being shamed for doing so.

I think they should stay…alienating more women who actually think for themselves….

Apparently Clinton was so desperate for endorsements, she took any endorsement, no matter how dubious.

Look at Slick, he just stands there with this frozen imbecile grin… he looks like he is totally lost. He should stay the fuck home in his senile condition.

I'd pay money to see that. Of course it would have to be his ghost.

Ghost Hunters anyone???

 

[Rexx Taylor]

what about Sean Penn or Mao Tse Dung? or maybe even Hitler? where's he been these last 60 years?

 

[Wildman]

...she ran our Government in the Clinton administration at one time

that is one of the many reasons our Gvmt. is still so fucked up today, with a muslime commie picking up where Bubba Lewinsky left off.

"Look at Slick, he just stands there with this frozen imbecile grin…"
thinking.., "If I Wasn't Married to Hillary, 'I Could Say What I Think'"

And why isn't obama stumping for her?

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Bruce Jenner and Dennis Rodmann are considering speaking for Hillary, and both will be wearing high heels and dresses.

Vince Fosters last words, "I'm going to talk to the FBI and give them all the details on Whitewater, what's the worst that could happen?"

It's a simple matter of Demographics. Hillary is popular among the older women, not the middle to younger aged women. Albright looked like she was 103 when she appeared for Hillary the other day, and I think her 'There is a special place in hell for women who do not help each other' line actually HURT Hillary. NEWSFLASH: Women are more intelligent and the fact that a woman is running isn't the most important concern they have. In addition, Steinem and her comment about girls flocking to Sanders to chase boys was a bust, one she had to apologize for / clarify.

Young people already think the 'elderly' like Hillary and Bill have F*ed their future up, and they don't want any more archaic dinosaurs, especially corrupt ones. Younger people are flocking to Sanders because he 'appears' younger, more energetic, and he is pouring honey in their ears with talk of all the 'free crap'.

Hillary better find a way to 'get young' real quick, or she will be looking on from the side as the Presidential parade marches past her again.

And there's a special place in hell if you don't support them.
