Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doubled down on comments she made last year that sexism "no doubt" played a role in Hillary Clinton's 2016 election defeat.
During a Columbia University Women's Conference event on Sunday, Ginsburg was asked to clarify remarks she made last September, in which she said sexism was a "major, major factor" in how the election played out.
"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 continued.

Poor Ruthie but at least she’s got a good stock of batteries:-)
I remember how she was already imagining herself in history books “that little girls will read” about the first female POTUS.
What an ego.
I cannot believe this idiot had been on the SC this long. We have more lawyers in this country that we will ever need and the best the Dems could do is come up with this moron.
Thanks EdnaMode. Lock and load.
Who the hell cares what the “shovel ready” justice has to say.
I think Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Rand Paul, John Kasich, etc., would beg to differ.
Makes me think of those old Doritos commercials with Jay Leno.
"Machos? Eat all you want--we'll make more."
Definitely.
Probably not.
So it was sexism when the media went totally negative on Sarah Palin?
Everybody seemingly forgets just how shysterly the Clintons are.
A good friend of mine did a career in audio recording for CBS News as a professional sound technician. He said they were the foulest mouthed beasts on planet rude. He was also drafted into the USMC during Vietnam... so he wasn’t unfamiliar with the the lingo.
Additionally he was in Nantucket covering the Clinton vacay the weekend the Lewinsky thing broke and he said it was just butt fugly.
I recall... as Bo took a drag off his Marlboro Red and rolled the tumbler of bourbon and ice in his hand to ensure a good mix, he inhaled deeply, blowing a large cloud of smoke out the side of his mouth and said “G*d damn she is the nastiest assed b**** I ever heard in my entire life.
Ginsburg is to jurisprudence and demeanor as a child banging on a spoon is to classical music.
What boweloney! Any man with the beest’s poor character, gross baggage, evident poor health, and lack of a coherent message would have lost just as badly, or worse, and would have been savaged even more because he was a man.
Yeah exactly. She took the rust belt for granted.
Yes definitely.
Isn’t this the same Ginsburg whose hero was a man w/a macho persona (Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia)?
Typical Beltway insider.
All of them are tone deaf.
Shouldn’t that be “genderism”?
