Joy Reid: ‘Hillary Clinton Is Going to Teach Us’ a Lesson on Sexism in This Election
By Curtis Houck | July 27, 2016 | 3:07 AM EDT
While the early Wednesday morning portion of MSNBC’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) coverage wasn’t quite the spectacle it was from the day before, AM Joy host Joy Reid provided two noteworthy instances denouncing Hillary Clinton critics as sexist who complain about her not wearing skirts and predicted that she’s “going to teach us” a lesson about sexism by the end of the election.
In her first diatribe about Clinton facing sexism (or just vaguely “gender” in Reid’s words), she told Hardball host Chris Matthews that “we haven't had a woman try to” become president “because I think that people react more negatively to a woman seeking power than a man seeking power.”
Matthews was not having it as he snapped back that Reid would not be “turn[ing] her into a victim” since not only will it not work, but “[a]mbition is common among all politicians.”
