[Off-Topic-Trump] CNN's Kate Bolduan destroys Trump aide on boss's sexist retweet
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/03/24/cnns-kate-bolduan-destroys-trump-aide-on-bosss-sexist-retweet/ An exception arose on today's CNN coverage, as Bolduan welcomed Stephen Miller, a senior Trump adviser. Given that it is an average news day, Bolduan had questions for the Trump camp about something outrageous and childish -- in this case, a Donald Trump retweet of a pair of images comparing the looks of his wife, Melania, and that of rival Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi. The photographic juxtaposition is stupid and offensive enough to not embed in this post ... Get that argument off my show, Bolduan suggested: "This retweet coming from your guy has nothing to do with the super PAC. It has nothing to do with donors. This is Donald Trump continuing to want to talk about this fight after both sides have had their say. . . . As I look at this retweet as a woman, it's demeaning to not only Ted Cruz's wife, it's demeaning to Melania Trump because she's got a lot more going for her than just her looks, and you don't see that in this retweet." Miller said he endorsed the retweet and then circled back to campaign finance ... - - - How can anyone claim to be a member of the GOP and not be absolutely humiliated at this point by Trump? Unless you're a sexist, racist, vile person yourself, that is. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
