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.

This LIB protofacist has been a blight on the Supreme Court. However, she is old and will probably soon meet her Maker. So sad...

Ruth, we are a bunch of healthist, sexist, macho voters who felt Obama was the first female president.

What was masculine about 44?

Bet Hillary has more hair on her ass than Barry.

Hillary was rejected on policy not sex.

In this famous photo Hillary collapses from the shear weight of the Krugerrands sewn into one of her pant suits, a bribe from her globalist pal G. Soros.

Pneumonia? Ha! Gold-digger’s fever more like it.

"...she was criticized in a way I think no man would have been criticized,” Ginsburg said.

Not since Al Capone and Frank Nitti, maybe.

The usual myopic progressive garbage. If you don't like the candidate they do, it's because there's something wrong with you. If they don't like the candidate you do it's because they're smarter than you. Insulating an intellect of this magnitude is an impenetrable layer of self-centered stupidity. It's amazing they remember to breathe, and if they don't, it's your fault.

Ironic that another article says she “worries that SCOTUS might look partisan”....

Well, Orrin Grant Hatch co-sponsored her 1993 nomination.

Yea, the American people still believe that old canard about the Democrats being “for” the poor, destitute, and downtrodden.”

So, is that also the reason she lost to Barry? Was that sexism too?

Hillary lost because of Bubba. The last thing the electorate wanted was Bill back in the Whitehouse.

I hope Trump is able to replace Ginsberg with an Evangelical Christian, conservative man.

Had she sucked, rather than Monica, she may have been POTUS.

Ginsburg is the perfect example of an ignorant political hack as judge

“The last thing the electorate wanted was Bill back in the Whitehouse.”

I think the last thing Bill wanted was to be back in the Whitehouse.

It would have put a serious cramp in his player lifestyle. It also meant that he’d have to spend more time with Hillary.
