Carmona insults Candy Crowley's appearance:

Honestly I'm starting to believe he really is a sexist asshole, but he probably won't win anyway.

It's getting more attention than I expected and Carmona has issued an apology.

I think it was more of a Bidenesque "hurr I don't think before I speak" thing than a truly sexist remark.

If it quacks like a duck...

That doesn't make any sense. Men historically have had the upper hand over women, have treated women as sex objects, have judged professional women solely on their looks, made disparaging comments about said looks, etc. So yes, it IS more offensive for a man to diminish a professional woman based on her looks alone.

What you said like saying something racist about black people and then saying something racist about white people and saying they're equivalent and cancel each other out.

I already explained. This isn't a private conversation between friends and if you don't understand what's wrong then there's no hope for you.

I'm guessing you just feel the need to defend the Democrat. Relax. This isn't a big enough issue to sink his campaign, but your defense of sexism in the spirit of partisanship still reeks.

[BM]

Um, Candy Crowley does more than just read a teleprompter, and most of the men on all 3 cable networks are hideous slobs if you want to go there. It's much harder for women to not be judged on their appearance.

I can't believe fellow Democrats feel the need to defend this, especially since it isn't even damaging his campaign or anything. The internet is full of sexist creeps and immature adolescents I suppose.
