Doubling Down: Ginsburg Blames 'Macho Atmosphere' & 'Sexism' for Clinton Loss
Fox News ^ | February 12, 2018

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doubled down on comments she made last year that sexism "no doubt" played a role in Hillary Clinton's 2016 election defeat.

During a Columbia University Women's Conference event on Sunday, Ginsburg was asked to clarify remarks she made last September, in which she said sexism was a "major, major factor" in how the election played out.

"I think it was difficult for Hillary Clinton to get by even the macho atmosphere prevailing during that campaign, and she was criticized in a way I think no man would have been criticized," Ginsburg said.

"I think anyone who watched that campaign unfold would answer it the same way I did: Yes, sexism played a prominent part," she continued.

Hillary losthe because she was a terrible candidate and didn’t have a message (unlike Trump).

Ginsburg, unknowingly, is referring to a rejection of liberalism.

I think a lot of men voted against Hillary precisely because she made clear that she was only going to represent women and children. Apparently she had a grudge against the men of this country.

Ginsburg is a disgrace to the Supreme Court. So much for being UNbaised.

Well, now if Herself had not been so macho and sexist, Trump perhaps would have had a MUCH harder time getting to the White House.

Because all the machismo and misogyny was coming from Clinton campaign.

There is a lot of misandry going around these days. Looks like it’s sputtering, though. Maybe much of it will die with her.

The fact Q brought up Ginsberg and then she landed on CNN the same day front page speaks volumes. We are missing something.

"I think it was difficult for Hillary Clinton to get by even the macho atmosphere prevailing during that campaign, and she was criticized in a way I think no man would have been criticized," Ginsburg said.

That is a misquote. What she actually said was, "Zzzzzzzzzz . . . . "

So Clinton won the popular vote but it’s sexism because more men voted for Trump??? The two do not reconcile.

Is this woman completely incapable of comprehending reality? Is she psychotic? Senile? Stupid? Misguided? Whatever her problem, she should not be in any position of responsibility.

She lost because the people who were paying attention to the details knew she is as corrupt and loathsome as they come.

These liberals with their non-stop insults to the intelligence of the everyday day American man and woman.

Have a candidate declare the American middle class as deplorable and incapable of redemption. Then tell the coal miners that they have to find other jobs. Much of the rest of the voter base observes where this is going. Whose fault is it that Hillary lost the election?
