Kelly Ripa doesn’t think there will be a female president in her lifetime: ‘It’s scary. It’s sad’

Kelly Ripa says it’s “depressing,” but she doesn’t expect to see a woman in the White House in her lifetime.

“This goes regardless of political affiliation: Women have to deal with so much bulls‑‑‑ in every facet of life,” Ripa said on her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast released Wednesday.

“But when it comes to politics, take that and put it to the 100th power,” the “LIVE with Kelly and Mark” host said.

Women in politics, Ripa said, “Have to be tough, but not too tough. They have to look good, but not too good. They can’t be emotional, but they can’t be cold. Or they’re too strong or not strong enough. Or what if she gets her period — will she launch a nuclear weapon?”

“I mean, it’s just the absolute crap that they ha

If you make the decision to have a child you need to take care of that child. That does not mean your workplace needs to adapt. Duckworth shows no respect for the job. She wants others to arrange for special privileges for her.

Neither would I vote for Haley. A RINO is a RINO no matter the physical equipment.

Agreed. But I submit anyone who is to be POTUS should be exceptional.

How does she know how these presidents identify? Who made her a biologist. She is being totally homophobic.

I’m not sure she is a democrat. At the least, I’d bet independent voter.

Yay! Popcorn AND vodka!

I used to think, long ago, that she was kind of attractive, but...I guess that is the kind of impression one gets from looking at a television as you walk by.

This rich, spoiled, privileged woman, griping about what women have to put up with.

I’ll never forget watching the local news in Florida when Rubio was running for president and the news guy asked a couple of gals at the kid’s soccer game, where Rubes was watching his kids, what they thought of the then senator. Their answer? ‘well, he’s cute.’

And there you have it. Another reason our country is screwed.

Eat a cheeseburger and chill, Kelly. God knows you need it.

They're going to find her unresponsive one day due to anorexia, and just like Karen Carpenter, everyone will be 'shocked.'

You clearly missed what Sarah palin went through. I guess you though she had it a breeze.

This was from 20 years ago. Maybe she has come to her senses.

One less reason to hate Kelly Ripa.... From today's PoliticsNJ.com: "Camden County Democrats got some free network TV time this morning when Kelly Ripa of ABC's Live with Regis and Kelly opened her show with a pitch for voters to support the Camden County Democratic ticket. She urged a straight vote for the Democratic column 2 team, 'especially her father, ‘Joe Ripa, a candidate for Freeholder.”

The same could be said about men in politics, except for the period thing, well, perhaps for Buttegieg given he is capable of breastfeeding and all.

I was teasing. I woould vote for Palin or Maggie Thatcher before 95% of male candidates.

A very different world 20 years ago. But again she could be a democrat, but she seems a bit less insane then the typical.

When current Supreme Court Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, can't define what a woman is, citing that she's "not a biologist", how would Kelly Ripa, who's also not a biologist, be able to determine whether or not the president is a woman?

Liberal women in positions of power have done enough damage to this country

From the article:

“Women have to deal with so much bulls‑‑‑ in every facet of life,”

From the internet:

“Ripa makes an annual salary of $22 million each year as a co-host on Live With Kelly,”

Yep, sounds like she’s really got tough.
