Full title : Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg: ‘Macho Atmosphere’ and ‘Sexism’ Caused Hillary Clinton to Lose 2016 Election

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg claimed Sunday that “sexism” and a “macho atmosphere” contributed to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election loss.

Ginsburg, speaking at a Columbia University Women’s Conference event, was asked to elaborate on remarks she made in September, claiming that “sexism” played a major role in the 2016 election.

“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 added.

That whole thirty year pattern of criminal corrupt conduct doesn’t get a nod from Ruth? That is strange to ignore such an obvious issue. Perhaps Ruth is being less than honest and frank in her interview. Political, perhaps, which would be strange as she just said that was the worst fate of the Court.

“Macho atmosphere” might be a new one for Hillary’s never-ending list. “Sexism!” was definitely in the first ten though.

"Yeah right Trump was given a pass by the MSM."

Over the years, the press portrays EVERY Republican nominee as some combination of dunce, racist, and Nazi. Only after they are safely out of politics, or dead, are they rehabilitated and used as stellar examples, compared to which the CURRENT Republican is a dunce, racist and Nazi. We are seeing this rehabilitation of George W. Bush (formerly known as BusHitler) right now.

If this represents the leading edge, premier thinking among the leadership of the left, we’re going to run the show forever.

Show me an American Margaret Thatcher, and I’ll drag my dying ass to the polls for her somehow.

True that.

The whole left has a collective aneurysm anytime anyone other than a far lefty is president.

Such an evil Marxist and she should be in prison for treason—subverting the Constitution of the USA. She is an ideologue, incapable of understanding Truth (God) and Natural Rights (our Constitution) and the true nature of male and female.

To this Marxist, Up is Down, Evil is Good, Slavery is Freedom and Boys are Girls. She is mentally ill and totally removed from Reality (truth/God/Common Sense and needs to be OFF the bench permanently.

Perhaps she's lashing out that she couldn't retire the "Clinton" seat since HRC lost, and any replacement now is unlikely to continue her distaste for the US Constitution?

So, RBG has to pretend to be alive and cognizant for the next three years.
