Democratic Strategist Decries Buttigieg’s Popularity: ‘Sexism Is Alive and Well in 2020’

 

WFB: Democratic strategic Alexis Grenell said South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s growing popularity, which has surpassed that of Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) among 2020 candidates, is a sign of “sexism” within the Democratic Party.

“I think sexism is alive and well in 2020,” Grenell said during a Friday appearance on CNN’s Newsroom. “When we see smart, specific, incredibly qualified women articulating a vision, somehow that is less sexy than a mayor from a town that is barely 100,000 people, who won re-election with 8,500 votes and who thinks that policy is minutia. That is a huge problem and it’s ingrained in this larger systematic of smart women as somehow being less cool.”

Grenell said she was disappointed in particular with Democrats for not liking Warren more than Buttigieg.

“I think that is so sad and disappointing, especially because Elizabeth Warren is a stand-out,” Grenell said. “She would be a stand-out in any room, and her career has been exceptional.”

In addition, Grenell criticized the recent media fascination with Buttigieg’s favorite books, which include many classics of mid-20th century fiction. The media should focus instead on Warren’s career as an author and college professor, Grenell said.

“Mayor Pete is 37 and bright, and could, I think, probably be one of her a students in her classes,” Grenell said. “She’s the teacher and written 11 books while we’re obsessing over Pete Buttigieg loving Ulysses. This is absurd.”  more here

  1. Let the fag-boys and the feminists pull each other’s hair out.

    BTW, I don’t really like to see cats portrayed as liberals. They value freedom and independence, which makes them the exact opposite of liberals. I have a ton more respect for them than I do for liberals.

  2. Fuck’s sake.

    I think we need a homosexual dude tranny robot with long hair in the Democrat party.

    I really think we need a dinosaur to lead us. A queer dinosaur who pulled himself (did I just assume gender?) up by his bootstraps and DENIED being turned into oil. And Indian (Whoo whoo, I’ll scalp you!) Dinosaur, queer, and feminist!

  3. ““I think sexism is alive and well in 2020,” Grenell said…”
    That’s your dnc for you toots. Maybe get robbie or booker to mans-plain it to you. If you call bernie, he’ll step around it for you, but I don’t know which of his 3 residences to call. Nobody has nothing to do with that, other than your very own cohorts. It is an in-house problem. Take out your own trash, thank you.

    I do think warren is exceptional, though, so I agree with her on that point. If the reader or myself had lied about our ethnicity to gain an affirmative action rewarded minority teaching position that taught one class per semester and was paid $300K, I think we would have been reprimanded, somehow. What happened to her? Nothing. So in that respect, yes, she is truly fucking exceptional.

  5. she should ‘man up’ and ask mr. butt what his gender is.
    depending on his answer, this could be much ado about nothing. The dnc believes a man can be a woman, after all. He could sue her for gender discrimination.
    At least ask what mr. butt’s pronouns are. That will show she is open minded and intersectionally considerate.
