At a candidate forum for Democrats preparing to challenge Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York, the youngest woman in Congress, one of the candidates (Steve Krieg, a Plattsburgh City School Board member) proclaimed, “I probably deserve to be called a sexist,” did not back down from calling the congresswoman “a little girl” and went on to call her “a child.”
It’s worth noting that none of the other Democratic candidates on the stage objected to that language or characterization. One again we see the consistent principle of, ”it’s only sexism when someone in the other party does it.”

Democrat Steve Krieg, a Plattsburgh City School Board member, declared: “I have been accused of being a sexist for calling Elise a little girl. Uh, and I probably deserve to be called a sexist. I think most of us if we admit it have some of sexist in us, racist within us. It’s something that if we’re decent people, we recognize in ourselves and we struggle with it all of our lives. But Elise [Stefanik], I recognize her, I’m not going to say as a little girl, I recognize her as a child. And it has nothing to do with her age. I see her as a child because she’s a child. She thinks like a child. She has people set things up for her, she has people put their words in her mouth and she happily repeats them. And I think recognizing her, I would go after her in that way. And I apologize if that’s mean but that’s how I would do it.”Would be a front page story in every paper if the parties were reversed.

I hope she got it on tape because it would make a great campaign commercial

Members of the Socialist Democrat Party need to keep showing Americans who they are!

Another brilliant, intellectual, super-genius Progressive makes a poignant, brilliant, insightful, cosmically correct comment that is backed by the brilliant super-geniuses of the Democrat party.

Would be a front page story in every paper if the parties were reversed. Absolutely! Great example of the gross double-standard.

"little girl" and "child"...Elise Stefanik of New York, the youngest woman in Congress Just in case this was justified, ie Elise is 8 years old or something (hey, there is some city where 3 teens are running for mayor now!!!), I went to look it up. Elise is now 33 yo.

This is rude and unfair, yes, but I’m hoping the GOP Congresswoman will be tough enough to take it and push back hard and directly. This would not be the time to play the sad little victim. Politics has a lot to do with public perception and theater.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
Gee, I would think this would be a great opportunity for national-level Republicans to swoop in and back her up, and draw attention to the Democrat’s treatment of her, their obvious sexism, and their continuing war on women.
That is, I would think that if any of them had any brains, which it would appear is not the case. Not that it comes as any surprise.

Problem is there is too much scum that likes them.

There’s a reason it’s called “the stupid party.”

Less than half of us! And I truly believe that President Trump IS changing hearts and minds on a daily basis.
I’m not ready to surrender. Yet. ;)

Her response should have been along the lines of :
As you can see my opponent is still having fantasies about little girls, is this the kind of pervert you want elected.
