It seems Fox’s show “Outnumbered” didn’t have much to report on a couple of days ago. It was so bad, one of the things they reported on was that Hillary Clinton laughed at a statement made about Carly Fiorina.
The statement was made at a veterans round-table event in Derry, New Hampshire on Nov. 10. A man in the audience was speaking to Clinton and said of Fiorina:
“Every time I see her on TV, I want to reach through and strangle her. You know, I know that doesn’t sound very nice.”
As Clinton and the crowd had a quick laugh, Clinton responded by saying:
“I wouldn’t mess with you.”
NBC News reports that:
“The man, who is a Vietnam veteran, said he worked at Hewlett-Packard and was angry because he and many co-workers were laid off when Fiorina was the CEO of the company.”
Now while most normal people would see this as a non-issue, “Outnumbered” is not normal. So it was no surprise when they grabbed this soundbite and ran. What female host Stacey Dash said pretty much sums it up. Speaking about the comment, Dash said:
“It’s like you said about Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s misconstrued comments about Megyn Kelly, were so such a big deal, then what Hillary’s doing is nuclear. You know, this is nuclear. Like you said, she’s a woman, she should not be laughing. She should be saying something in defense, or saying that’s not right, that’s not proper.”
So she defends Trump’s pathetic statements towards women as “misconstrued?” Does that include the comments about his daughter? Are these the same people that complain about political correctness constantly? I just can’t see how Clinton laughing at a disgruntled veteran’s statement is “nuclear.” It is Fox though. I would expect no less.
Now, Fox News Insider reports that the Republican National Committee (RNC) issued this statement:
“By laughing off a male questioner’s desire to strangle Carly Fiorina, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have lost all credibility claiming to be a party that stands up for women. Jokes about committing violence against women are always in poor taste and should be condemned every time.”
Nice try RNC, but how about you practice what you preach when it comes to how to treat women. Between Donald Trump and Planned Parenthood, you should really stop talking now.
