MSNBC's Katy Tur: 'Veiled Sexism' for Trump To Suggest Hillary Is Low Energy
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/05/2016 9:19:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If it's sauce for the goose, it's sauce for the Hillary . . . Question for MSNBC's Katy Tur: of all the epithets Donald Trump pinned on his primary opponents, which was the first and arguably most effective? Bet you answered "low-energy," with which Trump of course famously jabbed Jeb. It stuck, and helped drive Jeb from the race.

Did people suggest at the time that Trump was hitting below the belt? Nope. So why is it suddenly unfair for Trump to say something very similar about Hillary? On today's Morning Joe, discussing Trump's critique of Hillary, Tur claimed: "there's this veiled sexism they have been accused of, somebody that doesn't have the strength and stamina, somebody who should not be president."

Actually this is veiled sexism, but she has no problem with that

Good practice for yipping at Trump’s heels.

Real equality means you do not get to pull the “sexist” card when things do not go your way. Same for the “race” card.

Equality means you deal with the real world without a safe zone to run and hide in.

Politics is not a pillow fight and up until now, Hillary has been able to hide behind the “woman” card or the protective shield of the media. She is about to find out just how dirty politics can be when faced with an opponent that is not afraid of her, her politics, her name calling or the media. Go Trump.

Perfectly setting up the next attack:
“Hillary isn’t tough enough. She can’t take criticism. She thinks she can’t be attacked because she’s a woman. What kind of world leader is that? I’ve hired a lot of very tough women but I wouldn’t hire Hillary — she’s not tough enough.

Hey Kat!

All criticism of Hillary will be cast as “sexism”.

So, get used to it, because your whining will quickly wear thin and prove ineffective.

She is also:
Evil
a proven liar
hates America and the Constitution
wants to destroy individual independence in favor of government control
believes the Red Queen was too passive...

the old snipping , yapping terrier.

Imagine if Sarah Palin had barked, but when it comes to the dear Clintons the media and the late shows turn a blind eye.

From racism to sexism, Big Media has to only change three letters to continue their War on Americans who don’t share their socialist “values”.

So, is there a way to call a woman “low energy” without being sexist?

I suspect not.

Yes, he did. It was true. Jeb did not seem to want it.

enough sense to know that I’m not up for dealing with
a lot of stuff. Hitler-y needs to RETIRE!

Going forward, anything Trump does, including breathing, will be cast as “veiled sexism.”

LOL - good one.

Looks like Hillary wants special ‘protection because she's a fragile woman’... which kinda contradicts the feminist position that woman are equals.

Either she and Trump are equals or they're not... Hillary can't have it both ways. If the woman's card has devolved into artificial protection for women from criticism then we're back in the 1950’s Otherwise anything OK to say to Jeb is OK to say to Hillary.

well said
hey want equality, homosexuals women, blacks, Hispanics , but are always quick to pull the card when it comes to them failing or someone stating a truth about them.

Women in combat they want, and yet women do not have to do even one pull up to get in the marines.
Where is that equality?

My son recently joined and has said the women joining the military are a disgrace and can’t do half the job and get easier testing and yet want to get into combat units !
It’s a disgrace and I hope Trump makes the military equal and that women should do the same physical testing as men and lets see them complain then.

You homosexuals, women, black etc want equality then fine have it, You know will be treated as such like a white , normal straight male.

Trump should start by playing an ad of her barking like a dog... over and over and over and over and over.............................

Nothing else.

No matter what she says or does, just replay that ad

And keep doing it EVERY TIME she says something

It would be pretty funny

That repeat ad is a great idea.

A bark is worth a thousand words.
