Cokie Roberts: Trump Calling Clinton Unhinged Is Code for "We Shouldn’t Elect a Woman"

As far as ABC’s Cokie Roberts is concerned, Donald Trump attacking Hillary Clinton as “unhinged” is basically a gendered attack.

Trump has recently taken to calling Clinton “unhinged” and “unbalanced,” implying she’s “not all there.”

On ABC’s This Week this morning, Sara Fagen said that’s not the issue people have with Clinton, so that won’t be a particularly helpful line of attack.

Then Roberts said, “‘Unhinged’ and ‘she doesn’t look presidential’ is totally code for ‘we shouldn’t elect a woman.’ That’s exactly what that is.”

Didn’t know Kookie Roberts was still on this side of the grass.

She just pulled that out of air. Making crap up. It makes me sick.

[DAC21]

What a retched women. She and 90% of other “Journalist” must be so proud to be bought and paid for by there socialist masters.

[Lopeover]

STFU, cokehead!

[Trillian]

I read the title and this the first thing that comes to my mind. Silly silly..

[Dawgreg]

She makes me sick........always has and certainly does now. She needs to go home and stay there........sheesh!

[hal ogen]

It has a vagina? Could have fooled me. I’d guess a cloaca.

So, where do you get a list of these ‘code-words’?

I seem to be out-of-date and lacking on this. Are there 3,000 such words? And if you are Latino and using a code-word.....is it the same as a white trailer-trash gal using it?

One thing voters need to think about is the fact that Muslims in general, and especially those who have been radicalized, think of and treat women as if they were entitled to only slightly more respect than dogs. And this mindset has been demonstrated time and time again in Europe, and particularly in Merkel’s Germany. And it would certainly not be surprising to find the same kinds of assault upon women to become commonplace in Hillary’s America.

[hal ogen]

You have liberal friends. Eeeeeeeeuuuuwww!

[NYRepublican72]

So what’s Obama using “Trump is unfit” code-word for, hack Cokie?

Hitlery being a woman has nothing to do about it. Her record of being unhinged and her unfitness speaks for itself.

[kalee]

Cookie, I would have no problem voting for a woman, but not that woman.

[kalee]

Cokie not cookie, darn autocorrect.

[windsorknot]

“Cokie Roberts” is code for “ignorant slut”.

[rdcbn]

Donald Trump is calling Hillary Clinton unhinged because he is polite and because the term,’”Bat Sh*t Crazy” will get you bleeped on network television.

[Crucial]

Kennedy was too conservative for the radical Democrats. The country’s gone downhill ever since.

[MarkL]

Cokie, you ignorant slut...

Trump calling Hillary anything has nothing to do with her being a woman. It has everything to do with her being a bat-crap crazy, unhinged, corrupt, lying harpy.

Make sure you continue to vote with your lady-parts.

Is Cokie hearing a dog whistle again?

[Future Snake Eater]

So my codebook has a completely different entry for "unhinged"--it says, "upset about the lack of quality of the cooking of the duck meat."

Dammit. Where do I get the latest version?

[who knows what evil?]

LOL! Hey, Cokie...we shouldn’t let women VOTE, either. By the way, ‘Cokie’...are you named after your favorite drug of choice?
